New York State has a renewable energy incentives program administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, NYSERDA. This program was chartered to increase energy conservation awareness and promote renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, etc. NYSERDA provides incentives ($4/Watt) to the customer to help reduce the cost of such renewable systems. It also provides direct assistance to customers through the New York Energy Loan Fund. Through the Loan Fund, best available loan rates at participating banks can be reduced by 4.0% for ten years. In addition to the above incentives on the purchase of a solar energy system, you will receive (1) a Federal tax credit of up to $2,000, and (2) a New York State tax credit of up to $5,000. For
commercial installations, there are even more incentives, such
as no upper limit for the 30% Federal Tax Credit, and the 5-year
depreciation allowance. These accelerate Positive Cash Flow for
the PV system. |

Is the Solar System affordable? The total cost of a complete solar system largely depends on the power output capacity. Actual energy generation for your specific installation will depend on many factors, such as location, orientation to sun, proximity to tall structures or trees. The State and Federal incentives and tax credits make almost all renewable energy systems affordable to average residential or commercial owner. IUI will provide you with a detailed financial analysis showing the affordability of such a system. The best
way to find out if the grid-tied solar electric system is affordable
for your application is to discuss it with a reputable installer
like IUI who has a proven record of building such systems. The PV
system is covered by a 5-year full warranty to the purchaser of
the PV system. The warranty covers all components of the generating
system against breakdown or degradation in electrical output of
more than ten percent from their original rated electrical output.
The warranty covers the full costs, including labor and repair
or replacement of defective components or systems. The Solar Electric system is fully automated in its operation. The system will wake up by itself when the sun is out, and goes to sleep when the sun sets. The control system built into the inverter will operate the system for maximum solar energy extraction regardless of the cloud conditions. There are no maintenance items associated with the IUI solar electric system. There are no user-serviceable components. It is a totally hands-off operating system. Dedicated
electric meter on the inverter panel shows you how much solar
energy has been captured by your system. I may be interested; how do I get started? Please
fill out the attached form
to give us basic data for your residence or business, along with
a one-year electric consumption data available from your utility
website. IUI will use this data to conduct a preliminary assessment
for your site-specific solar electric system. We will then contact
you to go over these results to decide on the next steps.
