2023 New York Laws › ENG - Energy › Article 11 - State Energy Conservation Construction Code Act › 11-109 - Municipal Regulations.

§  11-109.  Municipal regulations. 1. Nothing in this article shall be
  construed as abrogating or impairing the power of  any  municipality  or
  the  secretary  of state to enforce the provisions of any local building
  regulations or the state uniform  fire  prevention  and  building  code,
  provided  that such local building regulations are not inconsistent with
  the code. Nor shall anything in this article be construed as  abrogating
  or  impairing the power of any municipality to promulgate a local energy
  conservation construction code more stringent than the  code,  including
  but  not limited to requirements for mandatory energy efficiency testing
  and ratings.
2.  Any  municipality  which  adopts  a  local   energy   conservation
  construction  code  in accordance with this section shall file a copy of
  such code and any amendments or revisions thereof with  the  state  fire
  prevention   and   building   code  council  within  thirty  days  after
  promulgation or adoption  of  such  local  code  or  any  amendments  or
  revisions  thereof.  If  the  municipality  files  such copy within such
  thirty day time period, the municipality may enforce  such  local  code,
  amendment  or  revision  until  and unless the state fire prevention and
  building code council shall determine that such local code, amendment or
  revision is not more restrictive than  the  code.  If  the  municipality
  fails  to  file  such  copy  within  such  thirty  day  time period, the
  municipality may not enforce such  local  code,  amendment  or  revision
  until  and  unless  the  state fire prevention and building code council
  shall determine that such local code,  amendment  or  revision  is  more
  restrictive than the code.

2023 New York Laws › ENG - Energy › Article 12 - Solar Energy Products Warranty Act › 12-102 - Purpose.

§ 12-102. Purpose.  The legislature hereby finds and declares that the
  use  of  renewable energy technologies, such as solar energy, within the
  state  should  be  encouraged  to  the  maximum  extent  possible;  that
  effective,  well-designed,  carefully manufactured and properly serviced
  solar thermal systems are essential for  the  development  of  a  viable
  solar  industry;  that  false claims, fraudulent sales practices, shoddy
  workmanship, equipment failures and poor  servicing  of  products  would
  inhibit  the  growth  of  the  solar  industry;  that  adequate warranty
  protections should be made available to consumers in  order  to  prevent
  such  deceptions;  that  certain warranty protections are presently made
  available to consumers of products normally used for personal, family or
  household purposes pursuant to the Federal Magnuson-Moss  Warranty  Act;
  and  that warranty protections should be made available to purchasers of
  all solar energy products in this state, regardless of use.

2023 New York Laws › ENG - Energy › Article 12 - Solar Energy Products Warranty Act › 12-110 - Violations.

§  12-110. Violations.  1. Whenever the attorney general has reason to
  believe that any violation of this article is a repeated  or  persistent
  practice,  he  may bring an action to enjoin such practice and to obtain
  restitution  for  any  aggrieved  party  or  parties.  In  such   action
  preliminary relief may be granted under article sixty-three of the civil
  practice  law and rules.  Before any violation of this article is sought
  to be enjoined, the attorney general  shall  be  required  to  give  the
  person  against whom such proceeding is contemplated notice by certified
  mail and an opportunity to show in writing  within  five  business  days
  after receipt of notice why proceedings should not be instituted against
  him,  unless  the  attorney  general shall find, in any case in which he
  seeks preliminary relief, that to give such notice  and  opportunity  is
  not in the public interest.
2.  Any  owner of a solar thermal system injured by a violation of any
  provision of this article issued pursuant thereto may bring an action in
  his own name to enjoin such violation and to recover his actual damages.
  In such action, there may be  awarded  reasonable  attorney's  fees  and

  attorney   general  has  commenced  an  action  for  an  injunction  and
  restitution pursuant to  the  provisions  of  subdivision  one  of  this
  section.
