Clean Energy with Long-Term Savings and Community Impact

At Rivertown Solar LLC, we specialize in solar solutions that empower municipalities, schools, religious institutions, and non-profit organizations to reduce their energy costs and reinvest savings into their core missions. Based in Westchester County, we understand the unique financial, permitting, and operational challenges that public and mission-driven entities face. We’re here to make solar easy, affordable, and impactful.

Customized Solar Solutions

Rooftop Solar

Ideal for schools, libraries, fire departments, or churches with structurally sound roofs and predictable usage patterns.

Parking Canopies

Create shade and generate clean power at community centers, municipal lots, or transit hubs.

Ground-Mount Systems

Maximize underutilized land or fields with efficient solar arrays. Perfect for campuses and institutions with space to spare.

Incentives

Federal Investment Tax Credit (Direct Pay)

Direct Pay allows tax-exempt entities—such as nonprofits, schools, municipalities, and tribal governments—to receive the full value of the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) as a cash payment from the IRS, even if they owe no federal taxes. This makes solar and other clean energy projects more financially viable for organizations without tax liability.

NY-Sun Con Edison Non-Residential Incentives

For 2025, the NY-Sun Con Edison Non-Residential Incentive provides substantial upfront rebates to lower the cost of commercial solar projects. Additional bonuses are available for affordable housing, community solar, and canopy installations.

Domestic Content Bonus

The federal Domestic Content Bonus offers an additional 10% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar projects that meet U.S.-manufacturing requirements for steel, iron, and a portion of manufactured components. To qualify, at least 40% of the total cost of manufactured products (including panels, inverters, and racking) must be U.S.-made, increasing to 55% by 2027. This bonus is stackable with the base 30% ITC for eligible projects.

Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit

The Low-Income Communities Bonus Credit provides up to an additional 10–20% Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar projects that benefit underserved areas. Projects can qualify by being located in low-income census tracts, on tribal land, part of qualified low-income residential buildings, or delivering at least 50% of the power to low-income households. This bonus stacks with the base 30% ITC and is subject to an annual national allocation cap.

Environmental Benefits

Solar’s lifetime emissions per kwh are orders of magnitude lower than that of fossil fuels, though they’re not zero, since fossil-fueled mining and manufacturing are part of the current solar supply chain. It’s so well known as to become hackneyed that fossil fuel driven energy production leads to pollution and climate change.

Unlike utility scale solar farms, distributed (rooftop) solar does not require the clearing of vast tracts of wilderness. Rooftop solar also makes for a more resilient grid, as thousands of tiny power plants are constantly supplying electricity, instead of one large one.
