As recently as the end of 2010, the amount of PV generation in NYC and Westchester was tabbed at 8.5MW. The pace has grown significantly since then, with customers installing 35MW of production in 2015 alone.

Craig S. Ivey, Con Edison President, said: “The energy landscape is changing rapidly as customers seek out clean energy options and ways to lower their bills. We want to be at the forefront of our industry's efforts to provide customers with the choices and savings they want. We support policies that make solar energy accessible and that are fair to all our customers.”

Staten Island leads all of the NYC boroughs with 3,310 installed PV systems, while Westchester installed a total of 33.45MW worth of solar capacity.

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 8-9 October 2024 is our second PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The event in 2023 was a sell out success and 2024 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
