Let’s make solar bigger in New Jersey
Solar Power in New Jersey
New Jersey combines high electricity rates with one of the strongest solar incentive programs in the United States, making it a standout state for homeowners going solar.
New Jersey's Successor Solar Incentive program (SuSI) pays homeowners for the clean energy their systems produce through SREC-II credits — a leading reason the state ranks among the best for solar economics.
The state exempts solar equipment from sales tax and from added property tax, so going solar doesn't raise your tax bill even as it raises your home's value.
With utilities such as PSE&G, JCP&L, and Atlantic City Electric charging premium rates, net metering turns the power your roof makes into meaningful credit against what you use.
From Newark and Jersey City to Trenton, Edison, and the Jersey Shore, homeowners across the Garden State are well-suited to solar.
High-efficiency panels produce reliably in New Jersey's climate, and pairing them with storage protects against grid outages.
Homeowners who purchase their system could historically receive a federal tax credit of up to 30% of the cost — though the federal residential credit ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025, so current availability depends on ownership structure, state programs, and current law.
