Delaware utilities publish supply rates rather than a single all-in figure. Your bill divided by your kilowatt-hours is the number that matters, and it is usually well above the supply rate alone.

Full detail for each utility is on its own rate page, updated when the utility resets.
Why Delaware rates keep climbing
Every Delaware utility buys wholesale power through PJM. When capacity and energy prices rise there, they land across the state at roughly the same time rather than utility by utility. Demand from data centers is arriving faster than new generation is being built, and homeowners carry that gap on the delivery side of the bill.
That is the case for solar here: it fixes part of a cost that has otherwise moved in one direction. A power purchase agreement means no upfront payment — we install and own the system, you buy the power it produces at a set rate, and you keep buying whatever you still need from your utility.
Solar in Delaware after the federal credit
The federal residential purchase credit ended for systems bought after December 31, 2025. Anyone still advertising it is running an old ad. What remains in Delaware is net metering, and under a PPA the tax credit stays with the system owner rather than the homeowner — which is what makes $0 down possible.

Solar Incentives in Delaware
Delaware's Green Energy Program has historically provided grants for residential solar, the state has an active SREC market, and net metering is available through utilities like Delmarva Power and Delaware Electric Cooperative — along with tax treatment that supports going solar.
How Net Metering Works in Delaware
Net metering is what makes home solar pay off month to month: when your panels make more than you use, the surplus flows to the grid and you earn a bill credit; at night you pull power back and those credits offset it — for a lower, more predictable monthly energy cost.
In Delaware, net metering is offered through utilities like Delmarva Power and Delaware Electric Cooperative.
The federal residential solar tax credit ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025; incentive availability depends on ownership structure, state programs, and current law. SolarAmerica does not provide tax advice.
