$SUNE "Big shoutout to New York's solar momentum in 2026! The state has surpassed its 6 GW distributed solar milestone (rooftop, community, and small-scale systems) a full year early—generating enough renewable energy to power over a million homes and businesses. Thanks to programs like NY-Sun, falling costs, and strong state policies, solar is driving billions in private investment, creating thousands of jobs, and helping combat rising utility bills. With renewables now nearing 30% of NY's electricity mix (up thanks to solar + wind gains), and ambitious pushes like the ASAP Act to reach 20 GW by 2035 (potentially saving
$1B+ annually in energy costs), New York is showing how distributed solar builds a more affordable, reliable grid. Even amid national shifts, state-level commitment keeps the sunshine coming! 🌞 What do you think—ready for more solar in NY? #SolarPower #NewYorkClimate #EnergyIndependence"
