How much you get
The standard residential NY-Sun rebate block in Con Edison territory is closed to market-rate customers as of 2026. Households at or below roughly 80% of area median income can apply for the Affordable Solar Residential Incentive, reported at about $0.80/watt (roughly $5,600 on a 7kW system).
Market-rate homeowners are left with net metering plus the 25% New York State solar tax credit — no direct utility or NY-Sun cash rebate right now.

New York City-specific note
New York City adds a genuine city-level benefit on top of the state incentive: a residential solar property tax abatement (via NYC Department of Buildings/HPD) worth 7.5%/year of installed cost for 4 years (30% total), capped at roughly $62,500/year or $250,000 total. This is a real, distinct city program, not a repeat of the state incentive — though those specific caps weren't independently re-confirmed against nyc.gov in this pass, so verify them before relying on the exact number.
