Solar Power for NYC

BASIC is dedicated to promoting the use of solar power in NYC. We work to provide individuals and communities with information about the possibilities for solar power today, and to help you with financing and installing a solar power system on your building.
   NYC leads the world in almost every way. Why can't we lead the world in building the city of the future? A clean-breathing, high-tech but sustainable solar powered city can be a reality - and it's already happening, all around you! Surf around and see how you can join the revolution.

It's SOLAR. It's BASIC.
