PSE&G serves Jersey City with 1:1 retail net metering. New Jersey's SuSI Program ($85/SREC for systems registered before March 13, 2026), property tax exemption, and sales tax exemption provide significant value.
Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G)
Average Rate: $0.31/kWh
New Jersey has strong net metering laws. PSE&G customers receive full retail credit for excess solar energy sent to the grid.
The average 6.8kW system costs approximately $25,160 in Jersey City (higher than state average due to urban market conditions). While the federal tax credit for cash/loan purchases expired December 31, 2025, you can still access it through solar leases or PPAs. State incentives include SuSI ($85/SREC, dropping to $76.50 on March 13, 2026), property tax exemption (~$1,000/year), and sales tax exemption ($1,660 saved).
Jersey City residents qualify for New Jersey's SuSI program ($85/SREC for 15 years if registered before March 13, 2026), 100% property tax exemption, sales tax exemption (6.625%), and 1:1 retail net metering through PSE&G. The federal tax credit is available through leases/PPAs until end of 2027.
With current incentives, most systems pay for themselves in 8-11 years for cash purchases, or 5-7 years if using a lease/PPA with passed-through tax credit benefits. Higher Jersey City installation costs are offset by continued electricity rate increases.
