In 2024, DCAS assessed all City-owned buildings larger than 10,000 gross square feet for solar readiness and identified nearly 29 MW of rooftop solar potential. As of 2024, the Clean Energy Program has over 40 MW of solar PV projects in progress, and 30.5 MW of completed installations.
The City has established a goal of installing 100 Megawatts (MW) of solar photovoltaic (PV) on City-owned buildings by the end of 2030, and 150 MW by the end of 2035, as set forth by Local Law 99 of 2024.
Solar energy plays a significant role in the federal government's strategy for renewable and efficient energy. Because solar systems produce energy on site, they involve unique issues and processes.
As of 2024, the Clean Energy Program has over 40 MW of solar PV projects in progress, and 30.5 MW of completed installations. These installations encompass traditional rooftop solar to more innovative applications including solar canopies at parking lots, garages, and wastewater treatment plants, as well as combined solar plus storage projects.
So far, DCAS has installed 30.5 MW of solar PV panels across 187 facilities, fulfilling 30% of the City's goal to install 100 MW of solar by the end of 2030. Between 2021 to the end of 2023, DCAS has more than doubled the megawatt capacity of PV installed on City property from 11 MW to over 24 MW.
Because solar systems produce energy on site, they involve unique issues and processes. They include connecting the solar system to both an electrical system and building, understanding procurement options, and finding the most cost-effective solutions.
