Why go solar in New Jersey

Did you know that according to the SEIA, New Jersey is a top 10 solar state?* Net metering and Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) are both offered in the state, and they can potentially save you a lot of money if you qualify. Imagine getting paid by your energy utility company! New Jersey homeowners can also qualify for rebates from their utility providers, all while saving money on taxes. New Jersey also offers property tax exemptions to those who qualify, which can help with the cost of going solar.

Save on energy

New Jersey has above average residential energy rates. This makes the potential for savings huge when you install a solar system. Solar helps reduce the amount of power you need from the grid. This means you purchase less from your utility. If you have batteries, you can use the excess energy stored in the batteries in lieu of the grid energy.

Saving money
Be prepared for outages

Scheduled outages are normal and necessary, but they are inconvenient. Unforeseen weather may also cause outages and leave you without power. Installing batteries with your system allows you to store excess energy produced by the system, which can help power your home during outages. Talk to your dealer about what batteries best fit your lifestyle needs.

Preserve New Jersey's outdoors

The state is known for gorgeous scenery and adventurous outdoors. Help preserve its natural charm by acting sustainably. Solar systems help cut down on water over-consumption and pollution. They reduce hazardous gas emissions and preserve the environment. A solar system decreases your dependency on fossil fuels.

Nature
Have predictable payments

Many homeowners go solar to have more consistent energy bills. With varying rates of energy usage, budgeting can be really impossible. If you offset the energy you use, you may only have a minimum bill. You can plan on a much lower bill and then make consistent solar payments on your system.

Solar incentives in New Jersey

New Jersey requires investor-owner utilities and energy suppliers to offer net metering to qualified customers. Separate from net metering, New Jersey’s Transition Renewable Energy Credits (TREC) are vouchers that solar producers can earn, which can then be sold to utilities (who use the credits to meet their legal renewable energy requirements). New Jersey residents can also qualify for a sales tax exemption, and pay zero sales tax for their solar equipment, accessories, and installation. And there’s a similar property tax exemption which means you don’t pay additional property taxes based on the value solar adds to your home. 

New Jersey homeowners are also eligible for the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC).**** The ITC allows you to deduct 26 percent of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes
