Can Meltek help with NYSERDA NY-Sun Program incentives?
Yes, Meltek is an approved PSEG-Long Island aggregator that can enroll qualified energy storage systems in the Dynamic Load Management (DLM) program year-round.
According to NYSERDA’s Resources for Contractors, the NY-Sun Program offers financial incentives to install energy storage systems for single-family residential projects on Long Island. Customers must acknowledge that DLM enrollment is a NY-Sun Program requirement in order to submit the application. Proof of enrollment is required to get the incentive.
NY-Sun's Program Manual [PDF] states that Residential Solar Plus Energy Storage projects are required to enroll in PSEG Long Island’s Dynamic Load Management (DLM) Program or other qualifying residential storage DLM Program offerings, future offerings included, as verified by PSEG.

Residential Solar Plus Energy Storage Projects - PSEG Long Island Only
Storage incentives are available for grid connected residential solar projects paired with an energy storage system that comply with the NYS Residential Codes. The project may be a new solar plus storage system, or an existing solar project retrofitted to add a new energy storage system. Eligible projects will receive a $/kWh incentive up to 25kWh based on the installed storage capacity in kilowatt hours measured in alternating current (AC) based on the manufacturer specifications, that is available when the system is initially installed (the usable energy available at the beginning of system operation). Visit nyserda.ny.gov/LongIsland-incentives for information on current incentive adder levels.
An additional incentive of $150/kWh is available for residential solar projects paired with energy storage that meet the requirements of the Affordable Solar Residential Incentive for low-to-moderate income homeowners. The project must be approved for the Affordable Solar Residential Incentive to receive this additional incentive.
The solar electric system and energy storage system must be physically and permanently located at the same site and must be installed behind the same utility host meter. Eligible energy storage system equipment must be new and commercially available. As of incentive Block 2, Residential Solar Plus Energy Storage projects are required to enroll in PSEG Long Island’s Dynamic Load Management (DLM) Program or other qualifying residential storage DLM Program offerings, future offerings included, as verified by PSEG.
NYSERDA and PSEG Long Island take quality and safety very seriously. With new technologies and programs, special attention must be paid to early deployment. See the Quality Assurance section for specific QA requirements related to residential solar projects paired with energy storage.
To be eligible for the Solar Plus Energy Storage Incentive, a project must meet all requirements detailed in the Technical Requirements section.
At a minimum, the residential energy storage system must meet the requirements set forth in NYSERDA’s Battery Energy Storage System Guidebook, which adheres to the NYS Uniform Code. Please be aware that these requirements may be greater than what the local AHJ approval may require.
