New York is the #10 solar market nationally for residential solar installations. With approximately 480 MW of residential solar installed in 2024 and average AHJ review times of 18 business days at NYC Department of Buildings, getting your permit documentation right on the first submission directly impacts project profitability. The NY-Sun Incentive Program is the primary state-level financial incentive driving installer activity in New York.
For New York solar installers, permit turnaround time is a direct cost. Every business day a permit sits in AHJ review is a day the project cannot be installed — and 18 days is the average at NYC Department of Buildings. Jurisdictions that receive complete, AHJ-ready plan sets on first submission consistently process permits faster than the average. An incomplete first submission at NYC Department of Buildings can add another 18 days or more to your project timeline, pushing installation and PTO out by weeks.
Our New York solar permit drawing service is purpose-built for this reality. Every plan set we produce for New York projects is prepared to NYC Department of Buildings's specific checklist — not a generic national template. That means our New York clients average first-pass approval rates well above the statewide average, and spend far less time chasing corrections, resubmitting paperwork, or explaining documentation to New York reviewers.
