Incentives

Environmental benefits are not the only reason to go solar.  There are a number of financial incentives available to help you reduce the cost of a solar project and improve your return on investment.  In addition to state and federal incentives, one of the best ways you can improve your solar project’s economics is to monetize the SRECs associated with your solar project.

 

Avoided Electric Costs

Eliminate or reduce your monthly electric bill.  Installing a solar energy system is your hedge against the rising cost of electricity.  With electric rates rising every year, the savings are substantial.        

 

New Jersey Renewable Energy Incentive Program Rebates

At this time, the NJCEP is not offering upfront rebates for solar projects.  If you participate in a SREC-Based Financing Program offered by a utility company, you may be eligible for a rebate.  New Jersey's Clean Energy Program will continue to accept projects that apply to the SREC Registration Program.  

 

Federal Income Tax Credits

Residential Projects - A full 30% of your system installation can be recovered as a tax credit on your purchase year's tax return.

Commercial Projects - A full 30% of your system installation can be recovered as a tax credit on your purchase year's tax return.  Commercial projects are also eligible for depreciation - Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) & Bonus Depreciation.    

Please consult your tax advisor. 

 

Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs)

Beyond the State and Federal incentives, it is important to understand that you will be awarded Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) for the power you produce.  Each time your solar energy system produces 1,000 kWh's (kilowatts hours) of electricity, an SREC is issued which can then be sold or traded separately from the power. 

New Jersey's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requires the State's energy suppliers to acquire a certain amount of SRECs in order to provide a portion of their electricity from solar power.

Most residential and commercial system owners have limited options for selling their SRECs because energy suppliers typicaly do not engage directly with small system owners.  SolarWorks NJ has a partnership with one of the largest  SREC aggregators in the county, SolSystems.  Through our partnership, SolarWorks NJ can offer clients several reliable financing solutions that will make going solar more affordable.
