Solar Pioneer Program for Homeowners

A solar electric or photovoltaic (PV) system makes good sense and is in an investment in your home’s energy future. Eligible homeowners can purchase or lease a new solar PV system that converts energy from the sun into electricity while reducing the amount of electricity purchased directly from LIPA. A state-of-the-art solar PV system is durable, reliable and may last up to 40 years with minimal maintenance. LIPA’s valuable rebates combined with New York State and Federal tax incentives make PV more affordable than ever.

By using solar energy and energy efficient technologies in your home, you will:

  • Help the environment
  • Reduce your consumption of fossil fuels
  • Lower your monthly bills
  • Save money in the long term by ‘buying your electricity up front’ for the next 25+ years

LIPA customers now have 2 ways to bring the benefits of solar power into their homes:

Option 1:
Buy a Solar PV System

If you own your home and plan to live there for a while, consider buying a new PV system to generate part or all of your electricity needs for years to come.

Options 2:
Lease a Solar PV System

As an alternative to the up front costs of a new solar system for your home, consider leasing through a Lease Agreement or Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).

Energy Efficiency First

Before purchasing a solar PV system, it’s important to first improve the energy efficiency of your home. Your best energy savings will always be the energy you don’t use in the first place! We recommend the following steps to maximize the performance of your wind energy system:
