This list may not be comprehensive. If your installer is not listed here, we can still help. Many smaller local companies also close without public notice.
Based on our experience servicing orphaned solar systems in New Jersey, these are the most common issues we encounter:
SREC/SuSI meter communication failures after installer closure
Hurricane and severe storm damage to coastal installations
Inverter failures from summer heat and humidity
Monitoring systems offline after installer portal discontinued
Ground-fault errors from moisture intrusion in junction boxes
Production losses from panel soiling in suburban wooded areas
New Jersey has strong consumer protection under the Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8). Manufacturer product warranties survive installer insolvency. The NJ Board of Public Utilities oversees solar installation standards and maintains records of registered solar installations for SREC and SuSI program tracking.
If you believe your installer performed substandard work before closing, you can file a complaint with:

NuWatt is licensed in New Jersey and can restore your SuSI production monitoring
Shore area systems face unique hurricane and salt-air challenges
Yes, but only if your production meter is working and reporting. The SuSI (Successor Solar Incentive) and legacy SREC programs pay you based on measured production. If your monitoring or production meter has stopped reporting because your installer shut down their monitoring platform, you may be missing out on payments. NuWatt can restore your production monitoring and ensure your SuSI or SREC income is not interrupted.
A typical 8kW system in New Jersey produces about 10,200 kWh per year. Under the SuSI program, that production earns approximately $600-1,000 per year in incentive payments, on top of your net metering savings. If your production meter is not reporting, you could be losing these payments. Getting monitoring restored quickly is one of the highest-priority fixes for orphaned NJ systems.
Our diagnostic is $295 in New Jersey and includes a comprehensive system health report. Warranty-covered repairs may cost nothing beyond the diagnostic. Out-of-warranty repairs range from $850 to $3,200. Monitoring restoration runs $250, and annual maintenance plans start at $399/year. Given the value of SuSI payments and net metering savings combined, most repair costs are recovered quickly.
Solar panels attached to your roof are typically covered by your homeowner insurance policy as part of your dwelling coverage. If your system was damaged in a storm, file a claim with your insurance company. NuWatt can provide a detailed damage assessment report to support your claim and handle the repair work once your claim is approved.
Yes. NuWatt handles all the administrative requirements for transitioning your system to a new service provider in New Jersey. This includes updating your interconnection agreement, ensuring your SuSI or SREC registration reflects the new service provider, and coordinating with your utility for any necessary meter or billing changes.
Yes. Shore-area installations face salt air corrosion, higher wind loads from coastal storms, and potential flooding. Orphaned systems in these areas are especially vulnerable because corrosion damage accelerates without regular maintenance. NuWatt inspects for salt air damage as part of our standard diagnostic and can install protective measures like corrosion-resistant hardware and enhanced weatherproofing.
Your solar panels are built to last 25-30 years. Just because your installer did not does not mean your system has to stop working. Let NuWatt get your New Jersey system back to full production.
