NEW YORK — Mayor Adams teamed up with Comptroller Brad Lander on Thursday to announce a pilot program that’d bankroll rooftop solar panel installations for working class homeowners in the city — but funding for the initiative isn’t locked in yet.
The pilot, which is modeled after a proposal the comptroller has advocated for since his time as a Council member, aims to install solar panels at 3,000 homes in the city over the next five years, Adams and Lander said during a press conference in Brooklyn.
The subsidized installations, a component of a multi-tiered sustainability effort called PlaNYC unveiled by Adams, will be available for one-to-four-family homes owned by low-income New Yorkers, officials said.
