The Project

NYCEEC provided financing for the installation of a 32.4 kW solar energy system installation and a roof overlay with insulation improvements at a multifamily rental building in Forest Hills, Queens. The project represents an investment toward compliance with New York City’s Local Law 97 and will generate renewable power while completing necessary ancillary work with additional efficiency benefits. By timing the solar system installation with the roof work, the borrower capitalized on an opportunity to efficiently realize energy cost savings and minimize disruptions.
