New Jersey homeowners

Your electric bill is only going up. Lock in a lower rate - $0 down.

No loans, no debt, nothing to own. Solar goes on your roof for $0 upfront, a third party owns and maintains it, and you simply pay a lower locked-in rate for the power it makes. See if your home qualifies in under 60 seconds.

  • $0 down - no loans, no debt

  • $0 down - no loans, no debt

Before / after

The bill drop, side by side.

Same home, one year apart - the only thing that changed is the solar on the roof. This is the moment the whole program clicks.

The problem

The utility raises rates. You absorb them.

PSE&G rates have climbed roughly 3.5% every year. At that pace, your bill could be a third higher within a decade - and there’s nothing you can do about it... unless your roof starts making the power instead.

PSE&G’s historical annual rate increase - year after year, like clockwork

$0.32

where the rate could be by 2036 at that pace - a third higher than today

Just hit 6 months with our new solar system and I’m already seeing the savings they promised. The crew respected our property, finished ahead of schedule, and the system looks clean on the roof. They also handled the HOA approval which I didn’t expect. Highly recommend.

My husband was skeptical but after seeing the first utility bill after installation he’s a total convert. The team explained everything clearly, the app to monitor production is easy to use, and they were responsive every time I had a question. Truly excellent service.

I got quotes from three different solar companies and these guys weren’t the cheapest but they were the most transparent about what I was actually getting. No pressure, no gimmicks. The system they installed is producing even more than they projected. Very happy.

From the first consultation to the final inspection everything was handled professionally. They walked me through the tax credit process and handled all the permits themselves. System has been running perfectly since day one. Couldn’t ask for a smoother experience.

Had a full solar system installed on my home last spring and my electric bill dropped from $340 a month down to almost nothing. The installation crew was in and out in two days, no mess, no damage to the roof. Best investment I’ve made as a homeowner.

How it works

Four steps. Zero dollars down.

01

Free home check

We confirm your roof, sun exposure and usage - from satellite imagery and your bill. No visit, no cost, no commitment.

02

You see the numbers

Your exact locked-in rate, in writing, next to what the utility charges you today. You decide at your kitchen table, zero pressure.

03

Installed, $0 upfront

The system owner finances, permits and installs everything. Your only payment is the monthly rate for the power it makes.

04

You just pay less

You pay the lower locked rate for the power the panels make. Insurance, maintenance and repairs stay the owner’s job, not yours.

The short version

Solar without owning solar, in 12 seconds.

Panels on the roof, a lower locked-in rate on the bill, and someone else responsible for the equipment. If the video makes sense to you, the 60-second check is the next step.

On the roof

What install day actually looks like.

Rails, flashing, torque specs and clean lines. The crew does this all day, every day - and it shows.

Why not just buy panels?

In 2026, $0 down beats buying for most homes.

Buying solar made sense when the IRS refunded 30% of it. That homeowner credit ended December 31, 2025. The $0-down route is how a New Jersey homeowner still captures the economics - without the price tag.

Buying in 2026

Pay $36,000-$41,000 for a typical system

Upfront

in cash, or carry a loan with interest on your credit report for years

The 30% homeowner tax credit is gone

$0 back

the federal residential solar credit (Section 25D) ended December 31, 2025 - buyers get $0 back from the IRS in 2026

Repairs and inverters are your problem

Your risk

equipment, insurance and maintenance land on you the day the warranty gets complicated

$0-down solar agreement
  • Nothing upfront - no loan, no debt on your credit
  • The financing company can still claim a federal commercial credit - that’s how $0-down providers offer rates below the utility’s
  • Insurance, maintenance, monitoring and repairs stay the system owner’s job for the life of the agreement

Straight talk: your rate can step up slightly each year (a small fixed escalator of 2-5%, far slower than the utility’s climb, printed on the state disclosure form) and you don’t own the system or collect the incentives directly - they’re priced into your lower rate. You’ll see every number before you sign.

Why New Jersey works

The state stacked the deck in your favor.

New Jersey runs one of the strongest solar programs in the country. These are the standing rules - not promotions, not fine print.

1:1

full retail net metering under today’s rules - every extra kWh your roof exports earns a credit at the utility’s own rate, up to 100% of your annual usage

15 yrs

of guaranteed SREC-II incentive payments per system under NJ’s SuSI program (paid to the system owner - it’s part of why your rate is lower)

0%

sales tax on the solar equipment - NJ waives the full 6.625%

+$0

property tax - by NJ law, solar cannot raise your home’s assessed value

Your neighbors didn’t buy panels either.

Fair questions

Answered straight - no fine print.

No. This is a $0-down program: no deposit, no loan, no lien on your home or your credit. The system owner pays for the equipment and installation; you only pay the monthly rate for the power the system produces.

No, and that’s the point. A third-party company owns, insures and maintains the system for the life of the agreement. You get the lower locked-in rate without the $36,000-$41,000 price tag of buying a typical system. New Jersey requires the full terms - including that you don’t own the system - in a written state disclosure before you sign.

Two paths: the agreement transfers to the buyer (they pass a simple credit check and take over the lower rate - a real selling point), or you buy the agreement out. Both paths and their exact costs are printed on the state disclosure form before you ever sign, so there’s nothing to discover later.

Yes. New Jersey gives you at least a 3-business-day right to cancel a contract signed at your home, and the mandatory state disclosure form spells out the cooling-off period. The 60-second check and the free assessment commit you to nothing at all.

Not your problem - literally. The system owner is responsible for insurance, monitoring, maintenance and repairs. If production drops, they’re the ones losing money, so they fix it.

Most NJ solar agreements include a small fixed annual escalator - typically 2-5% a year, far slower than the utility’s historical rate hikes. The exact percentage, how often it applies, and your maximum estimated payment over the whole term are printed on the mandatory state disclosure form before you sign. No surprises, by law.

Until the end of 2025, buyers got 30% back from the IRS - that homeowner credit (Section 25D) is gone as of December 31, 2025. In 2026 a cash or loan buyer gets nothing from the federal government, while the financing company behind a lease/PPA can still claim a federal commercial credit, which is how $0-down providers can offer rates below the utility. Unless you love the idea of owning inverters, $0 down is the stronger deal for most homes now.

New Jersey’s SuSI program pays a fixed incentive for every megawatt-hour a solar system produces, guaranteed for 15 years (SREC-II). Under this program the system owner collects those payments - it’s a big part of why they can offer you a rate below the utility’s. We’d rather tell you that straight than pretend the state sends you a check.

No. New Jersey law exempts solar from property tax assessment - your home’s assessed value doesn’t go up because panels went on the roof (there’s a one-time certification form filed with your town, handled as part of the installation paperwork). The equipment is also exempt from the state’s 6.625% sales tax.

Not yet. Right now we’re installing in Carteret, Elizabeth, Edison, Middlesex Borough and Freehold (PSE&G and JCP&L territories). Leave your zip code either way - service areas expand, and we’ll tell you honestly if we can’t reach you yet.

Savings figures on this page are illustrative estimates - individual savings vary and are not guaranteed. Under a solar lease or power purchase agreement you do not own the solar system, and you cannot claim federal tax credits or SREC-II payments directly; New Jersey requires a written state disclosure of all terms before you sign, and you have at least a 3-business-day right to cancel a contract signed at your home. Actual pricing depends on your home, usage and agreement.
