We are developing community solar on commercial rooftops across Red Hook, Brooklyn with an ownership and governance structure that maximizes benefits to local residents and businesses. Through public engagement, collective-local ownership structures and an equitable business model, this initiative embodies Red Hook\u2019s post-Super Storm Sandy community vision for climate adaptation and a low-carbon future. Benefits to low-and-moderate income residents are the heart of this plan. What makes Red Hook Community Solar special? If you\u2019re not able to have a solar system on your roof, you can still join this program and get the benefits of local solar power generation \u2013 lower cost, lower carbon, plus benefits for the whole community, including jobs. How can I get involved? As a building owner, you can host our rooftop solar, as a local resident, you can help us design the program and become a participant, as a jobseeker you can receive training to join the solar industry.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
Community Solar allows New Yorkers to reduce energy costs by sharing a solar energy system. With community solar, participants can go solar without installing anything on their own roof and with guaranteed savings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
