Community Solar for Property Owners
Every day, more New York property owners are installing solar. In addition to purchasing solar to offset owner-paid electricity bills, new solar business models are allowing landlords to lease their unused rooftops to solar developers who will compensate them for the real estate and then build, own and operate solar energy systems at no cost to the owner. Did you know that even if you are simply leasing your rooftop to a solar developer, you can still qualify for New York City’s solar Property Tax Abatement? Join the Here Comes Solar team for an informative workshop on how you can host a community solar array, what incentives are available, and how you can get a free solar feasibility assessment for your property.

Solar for Real Estate Professionals
Now is a great time for real estate professionals within NYC to increase their knowledge about solar energy, and to consider how solar can add value to properties, reduce building electricity costs and provide significant tax benefits. Did you know that last year, New York City Council passed the Climate Mobilization Act (CMA), a series of local laws (92, 94 & 95-97) addressing NYC’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions with more green technology, renewable energy resources and stricter carbon emission standards for buildings? Local laws 92 & 94 now require solar or a green roof for new construction and major renovation projects. In this workshop, you will learn about solar technology, costs, incentives, the installation process, and O&M. This workshop will also cover what professionals need to know to manage a successful solar project from contractor selection through commissioning.
