Is solar worth it in New York?

These figures use New York’s latitude and typical sunshine for the generation, then the United States’s electricity price, export rules and incentives for the money. The sun a roof sees in New York is the single biggest driver of the result, which is why we model the city directly rather than a national average.

See the full the United States picture on our the United States solar page, or the incentives in our the United States solar guide.

Estimate only, not a quote. Figures use local climate data and average tariffs; your installer’s quote will be exact.
