Why Go Solar in New Jersey?
New Jersey is one of the top solar states in the Northeast with over 220,000 installations and more than 5 GW of capacity. Strong state incentives, including property and sales tax exemptions and the SuSI program, make going solar in New Jersey an attractive long-term investment.
Most New Jersey homeowners see their solar systems pay for themselves in about 9-11 years on new 2026 installations, with shorter payback periods for systems that qualified for the federal tax credit or have higher-than-average electric bills. Costs and payback periods updated for 2026. Federal tax credit for new residential purchases is no longer available, but New Jersey offers strong state incentives including property and sales tax exemptions and production-based SuSI credits.
