Sustainable CUNY's Smart DG Hub is pleased to announce the public release of its New York City Resilient Solar Roadmap, a dynamic report and survey of NYC's resilient PV/Solar+Storage landscape.
The Roadmap was developed as part of a three year 'Resilient Solar' Project supported by the U.S. Department of Energy SunShot Initiative and the NY-Sun Initiative, in
partnership with Meister Consultants Group and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The DG Hub team, its Advisory Board and dozens of Working Group members outlined recommended solutions for overcoming Technology, Software/IT, Policy, and Financial barriers to resilient PV/Solar+Storage adoption and include immediate, mid-range, and long-term goals as well as guidance on how these goals can be met through existing and new policy channels. This work culminated in the NYC Resilient PV Roadmap that outlines a 5-7 year strategic plan for expanding the resilient solar PV market in NYC and opening up pathways to increase the integration of energy storage into NYC's power grid.
