NYS SOLAR GROWTH - CUNY ACTIONS
The U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative Rooftop Solar Challenge II (RSC II) supported Sustainable CUNY's NYSolar Smart program from late 2013 through 2016. The goal was to implement measures, in partnership with over 90 collaborators representing NYS jurisdictions, utility companies and industry stakeholders, designed to address the soft costs of installing solar in New York State and encourage the growth of solar. The program also received funding from Governor Cuomo's solar initiative through NYPA and NYSERDA.

 
RESILIENT SOLAR ROADMAP
CUNY's Smart DG Hub, in collaboration with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Meister Consultant Group and multiple partners, has developed a roadmap that identifies specific strategies for addressing the key barriers to large-scale deployment of resilient solar in New York City. The roadmap outlines the hardware, software, economic and policy solutions as well as the types of partnerships and stakeholder engagement needed and will be released in the first quarter of 2017.

COMMUNITIES CAN HELP SAVE ON SOLAR 
Mayor De Blasio's Solarize NYC Program is seeking community partners, businesses, as well as community finance and development corporations. Solarize NYC is n ow accepting Letters of Intent from communities interested in participating in a 2017 Solarize NYC Campaign.
