Electric bills in New York have surged by more than 37% over the last five years. For businesses already juggling tight margins, high energy costs are more than just a nuisance—they’re a growing threat to profitability.

At David Energy, we believe businesses deserve better. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest solution for New York businesses: the Community Solar Plan.

What Is the Community Solar Plan?

David Energy’s Community Solar Plan is a simple, zero-cost way for New York businesses to save up to 5% every month on their electricity bill.

Community solar is a model where multiple customers buy power directly from a large solar farm located off-site, rather than installing solar panels on their own property. Through New York’s robust community solar program—one of the largest in the country with 1,300 projects—we help businesses buy power from local solar farms.  New York state funds up to 5% of your bill via bill credits to support the development of these solar farms.
