Answers to common questions about solar installers in New Jersey.
The best solar installers in New Jersey are NABCEP-certified, locally based, and transparent about 2026 pricing. NuWatt Energy has completed thousands of installations across NJ, holds NABCEP certification, and is one of the few NJ installers that honestly discloses the Section 25D tax credit expiration. Look for installers who handle ADI/SREC-II enrollment and net metering as part of the installation.
Solar installation in New Jersey costs $2.85-$3.05 per watt in 2026. A typical 10 kW system costs $29,500 before state incentives. The federal residential tax credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025, so there is no federal credit for cash or loan purchases. After ADI income ($85.00/MWh for 15 years), net metering credits, and NJ tax exemptions, payback is typically 7-10 years.
No. The Section 25D residential solar tax credit expired December 31, 2025. If you purchase a solar system with cash or a loan in 2026, your federal credit is $0. The only way to access federal incentives is through a solar lease or PPA where a third-party owner claims the Section 48 commercial ITC and passes savings to you as lower monthly payments. NuWatt offers this through our Propel financing program.
New Jersey has strong state solar incentives: the ADI/SREC-II program pays $85.00/MWh for 15 years, full net metering at retail rate with PSE&G/JCP&L/ACE, 100% sales tax exemption on solar equipment and labor, and 100% property tax exemption for the added value of your solar system.
From signed contract to system power-on, most New Jersey residential solar installations take 8-12 weeks. This includes engineering and design (1-2 weeks), permitting (2-4 weeks), installation (1-2 days), electrical inspection, and utility interconnection with Permission to Operate (2-4 weeks). NuWatt handles all permitting and utility paperwork.
NuWatt Energy serves all of New Jersey including North Jersey, Central Jersey, the Shore Region, South Jersey, and Northwest Jersey. We install in PSE&G, JCP&L, ACE, and RECO utility territories.
When you buy solar (cash or loan), you own the system and keep all production value including ADI income, but the federal 25D tax credit is $0 in 2026. When you lease through NuWatt's Propel program, a third-party financing company owns the system, claims the Section 48 commercial ITC (30%), and passes those savings to you as a lower monthly payment. You get $0 down, immediate savings, and a 25-year warranty.
