Small Business & Not-for-Profit Energy Solutions
NYSERDA's front door for smaller organizations: low-interest efficiency financing, cost-shared energy studies, solar programs, and free regional advisors.
Low-interest financing for efficiency projects, cost-share funding for custom energy studies, solar programs, and the Regional Clean Energy Hubs — free local staff who explain what your organization qualifies for.
Small businesses and not-for-profits (houses of worship included) across New York State. Each linked program has its own terms; the hub page routes you.
Start at the program hub page and follow the link that fits (financing, energy study, solar, or your Regional Clean Energy Hub). The hubs are the human option: they'll tell you what applies before any paperwork.
The link goes straight to NYSERDA — Lightkeeper has no referral or commission relationship with this program or any contractor in it. The pledge applies here too. Entry last re-read 2026-07-16; program terms are theirs to change.
Your Payback Plan checks this program — and the other 10 in the directory — against your actual building and bills, free for congregations and nonprofits.
