EnergySmart CNY is excited to announce its collaboration with Solar Simplified to provide electricity bill savings and support clean energy in CNY. Community solar is a New York State regulated program that allows residents to save between 5% and 20% on your electricity bill. Participants “subscribe” to a portion of a local solar array and receive a guaranteed discount on the electricity bill for the electricity produced by the solar panels.
Homeowners, renters, businesses, and multifamily buildings can all access the benefits of solar power without installing panels on their property. Community solar projects generate renewable energy on behalf of multiple customers, who receive credits on their monthly electric bills for their share of the clean electricity that’s produced.
By joining a community solar project, you can lower your electric bill and reduce your carbon footprint. Learn more and sign up to access your savings!
In the autumn of 2025 EnergySmart CNY issued an RFP for local community solar partners. We evaluated the current offerings of each, capacity, their marketing methods, contract terms, and reviewed references. EnergySmart CNY chose Solar Simplified as our community solar provider partner based on these criteria. Solar Simplified also has a strong track record of working with municipalities in the region.
