Memo of Support Expanding the New York State Solar Energy System Equipment Tax Credit 2025

January 29, 2025

On January 29, 2025, NYSEIA, with a coalition of supporters, issued this memorandum of support to expand the Solar Energy System Equipment Tax Credit.


This proposal would advance equity, resilience and affordability by:

  • Making the solar tax credit refundable for low-to-moderate income households and those who live in Disadvantaged Communities

  • Removing an arbitrary system size cap for residents living in co-ops and condominiums

  • Including energy storage as eligible equipment

  • Increasing the maximum tax credit amount to $10,000 to adjust for inflation (first cap increase since 2006) and energy storage costs while maintaining the 25% system cost limit
