Steps
Confirm current incentive levels for the project's region/sector using NY-Sun's MW Block Dashboards before quoting a customer
Submit the completed, signed project application package through the NYSERDA online program platform (nyserda-portal.force.com)
Reference the current NY-Sun Program Manual (versioned and updated periodically — a 2026 update covered prevailing wage requirements and Solar for All participation agreements) for the specific document and eligibility requirements in effect
Use the portal's Project Modification, Extension, Cancellation, or Invoice Request forms directly in-portal if project details change after submission rather than emailing NYSERDA separately
Track incentive reservation against the applicable MW block, since NY-Sun incentive levels step down as regional block capacity fills
Known gotchas
NY-Sun's Program Manual is versioned and revised multiple times a year (prevailing wage and Solar for All provisions were updated as recently as 2026) — always confirm which manual version governs the application date
Incentive levels are regional and step down by MW block — a rate quoted from memory or an older proposal may no longer be current
Con Edison territory and Upstate/Long Island territory were combined into a single program manual as of 2025 — don't rely on old documentation describing them as separate programs
