How does the cost of solar energy compare with other sources of power?
Energy from the Sun is free. The equipment used to convert solar energy into power for your home is more affordable than ever with the Solar Connect New York Program. The amortized kWh cost of solar electricity is approximately 30% to 50% higher than power from coal, oil and nuclear power plants. However, when considering the environmental ramifications, clean up costs and government subsidies, solar energy makes economical sense now and for the future.
