NEW JERSEY
Going Solar in New Jersey
New Jersey has long been one of the busiest solar states in the country. It offers full retail net metering and a state program that pays for the clean energy home systems produce.
Aurica helps New Jersey homeowners compare home solar and battery storage with full transparency. There are two ways to pay: cash or a solar PPA. We look at your roof, your bills and your utility before we suggest anything.
UTILITIES
New Jersey Electric Utilities
New Jersey’s main electric utilities are PSE&G, Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), Atlantic City Electric and Rockland Electric. A few towns run their own utilities.
NET METERING
Net Metering and Export Rules
New Jersey net metering gives you a full retail credit on your bill for extra solar power, netted over a year. Anything left at the end of the annual period is credited at the wholesale value of electricity, which is lower.
WAYS TO PAY
Cash or a Solar PPA
Aurica offers two ways to pay. You can pay cash and own the system. Or you can choose a solar power purchase agreement (PPA), where you pay for the power the panels produce, with either a 0% yearly rate (the contracted per-kWh rate stays flat) or a 3.5% yearly increase. Qualifying PPA offers can be $0 upfront. PPA availability and terms depend on your address, and your signed agreement sets the details. Savings are not guaranteed.
BATTERY STORAGE
Q.HOME CORE and Tesla Powerwall 3
Aurica offers two home batteries: Q.HOME CORE from Qcells and Tesla Powerwall 3. A battery stores solar power for the evening and can keep your essentials running during an outage. How long backup lasts depends on battery size and what you run. We help you compare the two for your home.
A battery lets you keep essentials running in an outage and use more of your own solar power in the evening.
FAQ
New Jersey Solar FAQ
Does New Jersey have net metering?
Yes. Extra solar power earns full retail credits netted over a year. Anything left at the end of the year is credited at the lower wholesale rate.
What are SREC-IIs in New Jersey?
They are credits for the clean energy a solar system produces. For residential registrations from July 27, 2026, the ADI program pays $77 per SREC-II for 15 years. Projects must register before construction.
Who gets the SREC-II payments with a PPA?
Usually the system owner. Under a PPA, the provider typically owns the system. Your agreement spells it out.
Can I still get the 30% federal solar tax credit?
No. The IRS says the Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) can’t be claimed for expenditures made after December 31, 2025.
