Sussex Rural Electric Cooperative offers net metering for solar customers. Third-party ownership through solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs) is available, which can qualify for the 30% commercial Investment Tax Credit under Section 48.
The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025. State and utility-level incentives are now the primary financial benefits for homeowners going solar.
