Financial Incentives for Solar Installations

Several great incentives for solar systems are available from the State of New Jersey and the Federal Government.

How Solar Panels Reduce Your Net Electric Use - Your solar array will make electricity that you would otherwise buy from your utility company. This electricity has a "blended rate" (supply and delivery) of about $0.19 or $0.20 per kilo watt-hour today. Your system can be sized to make all the electricity you use on an average annual basis. To make this work, the electricity make when the sun shines but don't use is sent to the electric utility grid. You keep track of this with your electric meter by turning it backwards.  You can have this electricity  back at night when the sun is down.  Turning your electric meter backwards during the day and forward at night is like having a invisable battery to use, therefor eliminating the old solar hassal of electric storage with batteries.

Residential Solar Incentives

• Federal Tax Credit is 30% of out of pocket costs
• State of New Jersey SREC Program

Commercial Solar Incentives

• Federal Tax Credit is 30% of out of pocket costs
• State of New Jersey SREC program
• Equipment Depreciation: 5 Years accelerated

SREC Value

Every month, your system earns you valuable SRECs or energy "credits". These credits are the financial backbone of the NJ rebate approach and the hardest to understand at first. Given to you monthly, they return a portion of your financial investment based on electric production from your system. More information about Solar Renewable Energy Credits is available on this website.

Sungevity’s Solar Lease allows you to go solar without the upfront cost. For no money down, we will design and install a system customized for your home, then lease the panels to you for a low monthly rate.

Solar Equipment Options

Solar Connections LLC is an independant solar electric installation company.  Privatly owned and operated, we have the freedom to offer you several equipment options unlike some of the big box suppliers that may be required to sell one particular brand of equipment.

We have developed our installation approach by offering several types of equipment from strong, proven manufactures which include well-known, established, American made, name brands  and the latest microinverter-modual-racking combination. We have divided them into three different catagories to provide you with several options.  They are all good choices and we are comfortable discussing them with you.

• Microinverter-panel-Racking System
  Westinghouse Solar comes complete with Enlighten.  The Enlighten service provides an unprecedented level of intelligence to solar power system owners and installers. Unlike conventional monitoring systems, which only monitor the inverter, Enlighten is continuously monitoring the health and performance of every solar module and microinverter in the array. Enlighten's cloud-based analytics will identify and alert owners and installers to any deviation in performance, allowing for quick and hassle-free maintenance.
