Get a better project ROI than the S-SFA Program

We've been offering the same streamlined deal structure as S-SFA for years, but with better operating margins.

We get it. Acquiring, managing, and invoicing community solar project subscribers places intense pressure on developers and IPPs. However, there is a better way to eliminate stress and risk than the S-SFA compensation levels set by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). 


With Solar Simplified's S-SFA alternative, developers keep more of their projects' Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) Value Stack revenue, leading to higher margins and greater profitability. Our S-SFA alternatives are available to all New York utilities, providing developers statewide with project flexibility throughout the state. Our options include multiple choices at competitive rates, resulting in increased overall project IRRs/ROIs and reduced risk*. 

With Solar Simplified, New York IPPs and developers can expect: 

√ Easier permitting and zoning approvals

√ Increased cost savings compared to S-SFA with no NYSERDA-imposed discounting

√  A flexible subscriber mix for optimized financial returns

√ Flat per kWh cost structures to protect you against inflationary cost increases

√ Free customer acquisition and churn replacement
