NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 13, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- New York’s Statewide Solar for All (S-SFA) program is creating a seismic shift in the community solar landscape, but for developers and project owners, it raises a fundamental question: Are you leaving money on the table?
While S-SFA promises simplicity, it comes with a hidden cost - lower margins, limited flexibility, and utility-controlled constraints. Developers lose the ability to optimize financial returns, determine who receives credits, and justify projects to local municipalities.
Why Developers Are Choosing Solar Simplified Over S-SFA:
Higher Margins, Bigger Profits – Keep more of your project’s Value Stack revenue. No NYSERDA-imposed discounting.
Free Customer Acquisition and Churn Replacement – We handle acquisition, billing, and churn replacement - 100% risk-free.
Flexible Subscriber Mix – Serve a mix of LMI and non-LMI customers for optimized financial returns.
Easier Permitting & Zoning Approvals – Municipalities push back on S-SFA because their constituents don’t directly benefit. With Solar Simplified, you can tell them residents will see savings.
Available in All New York Utilities – We serve every utility territory in the state, giving developers statewide project flexibility.
“Developers build projects to maximize returns for investors. S-SFA may seem simple, but it locks developers into lower margins, rigid constraints, and utility-controlled payouts,” said Aviv Shalgi, CEO of Solar Simplified. “We deliver higher margins, maximum project IRR, and a frictionless process from day one. No uncertainty, no surprises—just higher profits and total control.”
The Bottom Line: More Revenue, Less Risk with Solar Simplified
While S-SFA limits financial upside and removes developer autonomy, Solar Simplified offers a turnkey alternative that maximizes project IRR from day one - without sacrificing margins or flexibility.
