The shift toward clean energy is accelerating, and 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for commercial solar in New York and businesses looking to invest in solar power. With rising energy costs, growing sustainability commitments, and significant commercial solar tax credits and grant incentives, more businesses are making the switch to solar than ever before. If your company is considering solar, there has never been a better time to do so!
Let’s explore why 2025 is your year to go solar and how GreenSpark can help you through every step in the process.
Switching to solar energy allows your organization to reduce its electric bill by thousands of dollars a year (if not more), gain control of its energy expenses, avoid utility rate hikes, reduce its tax liability, and even meet corporate social responsibility goals.

Here are the current incentives your business can take advantage of:

Your solar journey starts with a no-obligation solar consultation with our commercial sales team. They will examine your utility bill to evaluate your business’s current energy consumption and overall needs and discuss our current commercial financing options.
Next, our team puts together a custom proposal outlining your estimated system size and net cost after incentives your business is eligible for. You can see how much you are estimated to save and the environmental impact of your solar array.

Once all permits and applications are complete and materials are delivered, our installation team will start working on installing your solar array. With GreenSpark’s NABCEP-certified NYSERDA Gold Quality Installers, you can rest assured that your solar installation will go smoothly.
After installation, we will obtain all necessary inspections to submit for final interconnection. After that is approved, the meter will be swapped, and your system will be active so you can start saving!
Our in-house operations and maintenance program provides active system monitoring to ensure your system consistently functions properly. If we discover an issue with your system’s performance or production, we’ll diagnose it quickly and deploy our local team.

While we are not certain what could happen in 2026, we want to remind you that New York State is pro-solar, and no matter who is in office, our state’s climate goals will continue to be a priority.
