Question 1

What are the current residential solar incentives available in New Jersey?

Accepted Answer

New Jersey residential solar incentives include the Successor Solar Incentive (SuSI) Program, which guarantees recurring SREC-II certificate payouts for 15 years. Additionally, homeowners receive full 1-to-1 net metering credits, a 100% sales tax exemption on all solar equipment and installations, and a 100% local property tax exemption on any home equity added by the system.

Question 2

How does net metering work in New Jersey?

Accepted Answer

New Jersey utilities must offer full 1-to-1 retail rate credits for excess power sent to the grid. Unused kilowatt-hour (kWh) credits roll over month-to-month to cover lower production months. At the end of the annual billing cycle, any remaining net excess credits are compensated by the utility company at the wholesale avoided-cost rate.

Question 3

How do solar panels affect your home's value and selling process?

Accepted Answer

Solar panels add substantial equity to your home. Zillow data indicates that New Jersey homes with solar sell at an average premium of roughly 9.9% compared to non-solar homes, and sell 13% to 20% faster. Fully owned systems transfer with the deed, while financed systems can be paid off at closing using equity or transferred to the buyer.

Question 4

How do solar panels affect my roof, and what if I need a replacement?

Accepted Answer

Before solar installation, your roof is structurally evaluated. The installation uses commercial-grade watertight flashing and waterproof sealants to guarantee leak protection, and the panels protect underlying shingles from UV and weather wear. If you need a roof replacement, solar projects can be coordinated with certified master roofing teams.
