Behind the Meter: The Challenges & Opportunities of Solar & Storage in NYC’s Multifamily Buildings
While there is growing adoption of solar and energy storage systems in the US as a whole, there are still significant and unique challenges that are preventing New York City from achieving widespread implementation. The city is held back by numerous regulations, metering arrangements, complex carbon accounting, and a litany of other design constraints. This session will explore the nuanced challenges of scaling solar and energy storage deployment in multifamily buildings in New York City, and it will focus on strategic opportunities for building owners, developers, manufacturers, and renewable energy advocates. This panel will bring together a wide range of experts who will speak to their direct experience in implementing solar and storage projects in NYC, including roadblocks and how these obstacles can be overcome.
