Considering solar in NYC? There’s a major incentive you should know about. The NYC Solar Property Tax Abatement for solar installations can reduce your costs by 30 percent. If you are looking to qualify for this abatement in the 2026 tax year, your application needs to be received by March 15, 2026.

What is the NYC Solar Property Tax Abatement? Think of it as NYC’s way of saying thanks for helping make the city more sustainable. When you install solar panels on your property, the city rewards you with a serious perk: a 30 percent reduction in your installation costs, spread across your property tax bills over four years.

Here’s the best part: This tax break is available to pretty much any property owner in the five boroughs. Whether you’ve got a brownstone in Brooklyn, a condo in Queens, or even a landmark building in Manhattan, you could qualify. And yes, this includes co-op owners!

The math is pretty straightforward. Let’s say your solar installation costs $30,000. The property tax abatement would save you $9,000 over four years. That’s real money back in your pocket, just for making a smart energy choice.

But here’s the catch—you need to act soon. To get this benefit for 2026, your application needs to be in by March 15th. Don’t worry about paperwork headaches though. When you work with Brooklyn SolarWorks, they handle all the filing with the Department of Buildings for you.

What’s covered? Pretty much everything related to your solar installation:

• All your solar equipment
• Installation costs
• System design
• Even battery storage

Ready to take advantage of this opportunity? Remember, going solar isn’t just about saving on energy bills anymore—it’s about making a smart investment that pays off in multiple ways. And with the 2026 deadline approaching, there’s never been a better time to make the switch.
