Solar Electric Programs Reported by NYSERDA; Beginning 2000 dataset includes the following data points for projects completed and in the pipeline (not yet installed) in the Incentive Program beginning December 2000: Project number, city, county, state, zip code, sector, program type, solicitation, electric utility, purchase type, date application received, date completed, project status, contractor, primary inverter manufacturer, total inverter quantity, primary inverter model number, primary PV module manufacturer, total PV module quantity, primary PV module model number, project cost, incentive amount, total nameplate capacity, expected annual kilowatt-hour production, remote net metering, affordable solar, community distributed generation project and Green Jobs-Green New York participant. Blank cells represent data that were not required or are not currently available. Contractor data is provided for completed projects only, except for Community Distributed Generation projects. Pipeline projects are subject to change. The interactive map at https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/All-Programs/Programs/NY-Sun/Data-and-Trends provides information on solar photovoltaic (PV) installations supported by NYSERDA throughout New York State since 2000 by county, region, or statewide. Updated monthly, the graphs show the number of projects, expected production, total capacity, and annual trends.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) hosts a web-based Distributed Energy Resources (DER) integrated data system at https://der.nyserda.ny.gov/. This site provides information on DERs that are funded by and report performance data to NYSERDA. Information is incorporated on more diverse DER technology as it becomes available. Distributed energy resources (DER) are technologies that generate or manage the demand of electricity at different points of the grid, such as at homes and businesses, instead of exclusively at power plants, and includes Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Systems, Anaerobic Digester Gas (ADG)-to-Electricity Systems, Fuel Cell Systems, Energy Storage Systems, and Large Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Electric Systems (larger than 50 kW). Historical databases with hourly readings for each system are updated each night to include data from the previous day. The web interface allows users to view, plot, analyze, and download performance data from one or several different DER sites. Energy storage systems include all operational systems in New York including projects not funded by NYSERDA. Only NYSERDA-funded energy storage systems will have performance data available. The database is intended to provide detailed, accurate performance data that can be used by potential users, developers, and other stakeholders to understand the real-world performance of these technologies. For NYSERDA’s performance-based programs, these data provide the basis for incentive payments to these sites.
