【美國當地7月27日】 - 紐約太陽能工業協會（NYSEIA）稱贊紐約州轉變對光伏補助計劃的態度，加快了光伏項目申請貸款的議案過程，促進太陽能行業繼續發展。

 
今年早些時候，申請國家太陽能補助金的的議案上速度被大幅放緩明顯轉變，由紐約能源研究和發展管理局（NYSERDA）審核，申請人的申請時間相當于正常審核時間的一半。

EarthKind太陽能高級副總裁，NYSEIA總裁Ron Kamen說：“這多虧了發展管理局和協會的合作。之前光伏產業前階段進行緩慢，目前太陽能產業加速發展再重新向推進。

美國能源管理局正好經趕上了一個舊的應用處理積壓，有227個應用在3周時間里需要維修，由于改進簡化申請程序及加強溝通?？偣灿?50宗已獲處理，6個星期。

 時間進程的縮短意味著太陽能項目向前推進在紐約舉行。 哈得孫河谷清潔能源的萊茵貝克說NYSERDA已提交了他們的新項目并將在未來幾個月內完成，該公司還雇傭了幾名新員工。

 
 “NYSERDA的處理周期加快應用程序的運行周期在過去的兩個月有所改善，我們已經看到了不到一個月有些已經有很大提高。“我們已經看到了一些研究不到一個月就獲得批準。保持高的質量水平很關鍵，因為該行業向前發展。我們希望，NYSERDA繼續對質量設計執行和滿足客戶的實際期望。

ALBANY -  New York Solar Energy Industries Association (NYSEIA) praised the state for turning around processing of applications in its photovoltaic grant program, allowing the industry to continue on its growth track.

Reversing a dramatic slowdown in processing state solar grant applications earlier this year, a record number of applications have been processed in June by New York Energy Researchand Development Authority (NYSERDA) in half the regular turnaround time.

“After slamming on the brakes earlier this year with program changes and delays, the solar industry is revved up again and moving forward again, thanks to the great collaboration at every level between NYSERDA and our association,” said NYSEIA President Ron Kamen, senior vice president of EarthKind Solar.

NYSERDA has caught up with a backlog of older applications and processed a record 227 applications in three weeks times, due to improvements in streamlining the application process and improved communication. In total, 550 applications have been processed in six weeks.

The faster processing times means solar projects are moving ahead in New York. Hudson Valley Clean Energy of Rhinebeck said NYSERDA has presented them with new projects to be done in the coming months and the company has hired several new employees.

“NYSERDA’s cycle time to processing new applications has really improved in the past month or two,” said Jeff Irish, president of the firm. “We’ve seen some get approved in less than a month. Maintaining the high quality levels will be important as the industry moves forward. Our hope is that NYSERDA continues to be diligent about enforcing design quality and realistic customer expectations.”
