Community solar lets you benefit from local solar energy without installing panels on your home. Instead, you subscribe to a share of a nearby solar array and receive credits on your utility bill for the electricity it produces.
NYC Community Power / Co-op Power brings clean energy and bill savings to New Yorkers who pay a Con Edison electric bill. When you subscribe to our community solar project, you receive credit directly on your electric bill for the power produced. Your electric bill is reduced.
⚡ How It Works in NYC (Single Bill, Simple Savings)
New York City uses a single-bill community solar model, which means:
You subscribe to community solar — no rooftop or installation required
Solar is produced at shared arrays serving New Yorkers
Your share of energy is credited on your Con Edison bill
You can cancel anytime
Who Can Join
NYC Community Solar is open to any NYC household with a Con Edison electric bill, that qualifies as low or moderate income, including renters. No rooftop access required, no credit check, no need to be a homeowner.
Community and environmental benefits
NYC Community Solar supports local clean energy by bringing solar benefits to residents across the city. Projects are installed on rooftops such as NYCHA and nonprofit buildings, expanding access to solar for communities that have historically been left out of the clean energy transition.
🤝 Who We Are
The New York City Community Energy Co-op (NYC CEC) is a multi-class, multi-race cooperative working for energy justice and a just transition throughout the boroughs.
NYC CEC sometimes goes by Community Power. It’s part of the Co-op Power regional network of Community Energy Co-ops.
🏙️ Why This Program Exists
Most New Yorkers—especially renters—cannot install rooftop solar. NYC CEC organized to change that.
By working with tenants, community organizations, affordable housing leaders, and mission-aligned developers, NYC CEC helped bring community solar to NYC rooftops. Today, these arrays supply clean energy to over 400 households, prioritizing communities most impacted by high energy costs and environmental injustice.
This solar was built through community organizing, driven by community needs rather than corporate buy-in.
Where the Solar Systems Are Located
The solar arrays are installed on three NYCHA rooftops across Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Co-op Power Membership
By subscribing, you become a member of the NYC Community Energy Co-op — which means one member, one vote in co-op decisions.
