If you're considering solar or already have solar panels installed you've probably heard the term net metering.Net metering is one of the key reasons homeowners are able to significantly reduce their electricity costs with solar energy.Net metering allows homeowners with solar systems to receive energy credits for the extra electricity their system produces.When your solar panels generate more electricity than your home is using, the excess energy is sent back to the power grid. Your utility company then credits your account for the electricity your system contributes.These credits can later be used when your home needs electricity from the grid, helping offset your monthly utility bill.

1. Solar panels generate electricity during sunny days & your solar system may produce more electricity than your home is currently using.2. Extra energy flows back to the grid when production exceeds your usage & the surplus electricity is sent back to the utility grid.3. Your meter records exported energy & your electric meter tracks the amount of electricity your home sends back to the grid.4. Credits accumulate on your account & your utility company provides energy credits for the electricity your system exports.

New Jersey has consistently been one of the best states in the country for solar energy.Higher than average electricity rates combined with strong state incentives have helped thousands of homeowners achieve faster returns on their solar investments.One of the major drivers behind solar growth in the state is New Jersey’s Renewable Portfolio Standard and the Solar Renewable Energy Certificate market.In 2021 the state introduced the SREC-II program, which provides fixed incentive pricing for 25 years. This allows homeowners to calculate solar incentives with a high level of accuracy and better understand their long-term savings.

To protect homeowners & ensure solar systems are installed on structurally sound roofs, every project must meet certain roofing standards.If a roof does not meet these requirements or is nearing the end of its lifespan, qualified homeowners may be eligible for a FREE roof replacement through our roof replacement program.This program was created to help homeowners move forward with solar confidently without worrying about the condition of their roof or the high cost of replacement.For homeowners who qualify, the program installs a GAF roofing system with a 50-year warranty, & the warranty will not be voided by the solar installation.Fewer than 3% of New Jersey contractors are Master Elite certified making us one of only two solar companies with this distinction. This also allows us to offer GAF’s top-tier Golden Pledge lifetime warranties.This can save homeowners thousands of dollars in roofing costs while allowing them to safely install solar.

Net metering allows homeowners to get the maximum value from the electricity their solar system produces. Instead of losing extra energy your system generates, homeowners earn credits that can be used later to reduce their electricity costs.When combined with New Jersey’s strong solar incentives, programs like SREC-II, and initiatives such as the roof replacement program, solar becomes a powerful long-term investment for homeowners.By understanding how these programs work together, homeowners can take advantage of the financial savings, energy independence, and environmental benefits that solar energy offers.
