Solar Panels in Vineland, NJ

Vineland, New Jersey residents are served by Vineland Municipal Electric Utility, which charges $0.17 per kWh for residential electricity. This is 1% above the national average of $0.168/kWh. At this rate, a typical household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,836 per year on electricity—money that could be going toward building equity in a solar system instead.

An 8 kW solar system in Vineland can offset most or all of a typical home’s electricity usage, saving approximately $1,632 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the system, that adds up to $59,502 in total savings. With New Jersey state incentives of $7,200, the net system cost drops to $18,816, resulting in a payback period of just 11.5 years.

As a municipal utility, Vineland Municipal Electric Utility sets its own rates and rebate programs independently. Net metering is available, meaning excess solar energy you produce earns bill credits from Vineland Municipal Electric Utility. The utility offers a solar rebate of $0.50 per watt up to $5,000. Heat pump rebates of up to $2,000 are also available for Vineland homeowners.

The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025, making state and utility incentives more important than ever.
