New York has taken the lead on solar progress with the passage of the nation's most ambitious climate bill in summer 2019, securing a 100% clean energy future, a massive investment in frontline communities, and enough solar to power ONE MILLION homes by 2025. But epic progress like this doesn't happen overnight.

At Vote Solar, we worked tirelessly for years to secure this victory as part of an unstoppable movement for solar savings, jobs, and justice. We lead a major coalition of clean energy leaders, environmental justice, and climate advocates, and industry groups for a Million Solar Strong New York.

State by state, we're moving the nation forward towards a more equitable, resilient energy future with real benefits for our health and our communities today. And we won't stop till we reach 100% clean energy for all.

One million homes powered by solar will create local jobs, save New Yorkers on utility bills, increase economic investment, cut harmful air pollution, and accelerate an equitable transition to our clean energy future. We're working closely with our partners to ensure the Climate Leadership & Community Protection Act is implemented effectively to build a more just and equitable Solar Strong New York. Our work is far from over, and we need every New Yorker with us who believes in the vision we're making a reality.
