Is Plug-In Solar Legal in New York?

Gray area, high rates   Avg rate ~25¢/kWh

High electricity prices make payback attractive. New York is solar-progressive but plug-in specifics aren't clearly codified — confirm interconnection rules with your utility (e.g. Con Edison, National Grid).

Before you buy in New York

Call your electric utility and ask: (1) do they allow small plug-in / behind-the-meter grid-tied solar, and (2) is any notification or interconnection form required? Stay within the wattage they specify, use a UL-listed microinverter, and keep written confirmation.

Then estimate your numbers with our savings calculator (pre-loaded with New York's rate).
