Solar energy projects in New York State are divided into two general categories; large-scale renewables (LSR) and distributed energy resources (DER). LSR projects, also known as “utility-scale solar,” are typically larger than 5 MW ac, and are built with the primary purpose of supplying wholesale electricity to the grid.

The New York Solar Guidebook is a compilation of information, tools, and step-by-step instructions to support local governments with the development, installation, and maintenance of solar energy projects in their communities.
In addition, you can access large-scale solar projects that participate in New York’s wholesale energy markets (projects larger than 5MW AC) as they are not included in this dataset. To get started, click on the map for county-specific data or hold Ctrl and click multiple counties. To see statewide data, click outside the map.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology continues to become more eficient, enabling solar projects to generate in the absence of strong, direct sunlight, and increasing the viability of project locations throughout New York. Additionally, the cooler temperatures in New York actually make panels more eficient.
This basic description of a solar electric system applies to most installations. Most of New York’s solar PV installations are residential, utility grid-tied, and do not include battery storage. They are typically roof-mounted and range from 4 to 10 kW.
1. Community Solar New York State has committed to generating 100% of its electricity from carbon-free energy sources by 2040, increasing the demand for land used for solar energy generation. A relatively new kind of solar project, community solar, has emerged as an eficient and afordable way for all New Yorkers to gain access to clean energy.
