Sunset Park Solar will be New York City’s first community led solar project dedicated towards providing tangible benefits to Sunset Park residents and businesses. The project will be owned and operated by a partnership between UPROSE, a Sunset Park based climate justice organization and its developer partner Working Power. Households and small businesses are invited to sign up for more information about how they can participate in the project and start saving money on their Con Edison bills while supporting local clean energy.

The solar energy system will be installed on the roof of the Brooklyn Army Terminal, a dynamic industrial campus on the Sunset Park waterfront owned and managed by the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC). In November 2018, NYCEDC awarded a solar roof lease to a project team composed of local non-profits UPROSE and its partners.

Thank you so much for your patience with us these past few months. We know we’ve been quiet for some time, but we’ve been working hard to develop an innovative solar project that delivers you, our community members, meaningful financial benefits.
