                                                   A state renewable portfolio standard (RPS) that includes a solar set-aside requires a percentage of the state's
                                                   electricity be generated from solar resources. An RPS can also include a solar multiplier that gives additional
                                                   credit in meeting the RPS for solar projects or require an increase in distributed generation (i.e., electricity
                                                   generation close to the point of use), which can spur solar development. Policy driven demand for electricity
                                                   generated from solar resources may increase the viability of PV solar generation at a site that would otherwise
                                                   not be considered viable based on solar resource availability.
                                       Presently NY can not purchase solar
                                       renewable energy credits from any other
                                       states.
