Gov Hochul: Sign The SUNNY Act!

The SUNNY Act, which would enable New Yorkers to plug in solar panels and offset their electricity bills with clean energy, was passed with huge bi-partisan support by the New York legislature back in June.

But, months later, the bill is STILL waiting for Governor Hochul's signature. Meanwhile New Jersey, Connecticut, California and many other states have had similar bills signed and made law this year.

So what's the hold up? Why, when utility bills are soaring, is this common-sense bill still languishing on the Governor's to-do list? To move things along, we think Governor Hochul needs to hear from as many of us as possible that plug-in solar is something that New Yorkers want ASAP!

Dear Governor Hochul,

I'm writing to urge you to sign the Solar Up Now New York (SUNNY) Act to make affordable plug-in solar accessible to families like mine.

As a parent, I am concerned both about rising utility costs and the closing window of time we have to bring down emissions and prevent the most catastrophic climate change scenarios. The SUNNY Act is common sense legislation that helps to address both these problems and will safely make clean solar energy accessible to millions more New York households.

If signed, the SUNNY Act will bring New York State in line with a growing number of states that have legalized plug-in solar this year, including Connecticut, New Jersey, Colorado, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, Utah, Virginia, and most recently California. It will enable New Yorkers to start generating their own clean, affordable power simply by plugging in eligible solar panels that can be purchased online or at a store. There is no reason why we should be prevented from accessing this technology while our friends in neighboring states are generating their own clean power.

Giving New Yorkers more access to solar is key to both meeting our state climate goals and lowering energy bills. Please sign the SUNNY Act now.

I look forward to your response.

Best Regards,
