U.S. Governor, Andrew Cuomo has announced the introduction of a new photovoltaic initiative in New York, which aims to significantly increase the amount of customer-sited solar power in the state over the next two years.

The NY-Sun initiative’s goal is to double the amount of solar installed for customers in 2012, and quadruple it in 2013. Specifically, the Public Service Commission has approved US$432 million worth of funding, to be made available over the next four years for customer-sited photovoltaic systems.
