- City-owned rooftops and parking lots are ripe for solar and battery storage, NYC comptroller says
New York City's 15,000 city-owned parcels offer significant potential for solar panels and battery storage, according to a report by City Comptroller Mark Levine.

Specific sites like Queens Borough Hall and Orchard Beach parking lot are highlighted as examples.
