Solar Built Around How Your Home Actually Uses Power
Most solar quotes start with your roof size. We start with your electric bill.
Impact Solar has handled residential solar panel installation in New Jersey for 11+ years, and every system we design is sized to what your home actually uses. That means your roof, your utility, and a full year of kilowatt-hour history, not an estimate off square footage.
Your utility matters more here than most homeowners expect. Interconnection timelines, net metering credits, and application requirements all differ across PSE&G, JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric, and Rockland Electric. We handle that side of it so you are not chasing approvals on your own.
Why New Jersey Homeowners Are Switching To Solar
With the right solar panel system, you can lower your bills, protect your budget, and make your home more energy-efficient for years to come.
Reduce Monthly Electric Bills
New Jersey carries some of the highest residential electric rates in the country. A correctly sized system offsets a large share of what you currently buy from the grid, and that offset starts the month your system is activated.
Gain More Control Over Rising Utility Costs
Net metering credits the excess your system sends back, and SREC-II pays you for the power you produce on top of that. Together they turn a rate increase from something that costs you more into something your system partly earns against.
Increase Long-Term Home Value
An owned solar system transfers with the home, and New Jersey exempts the added value from your property tax assessment. You get the resale benefit without a higher tax bill for it.
A Custom Solar System Designed For Your Roof & Usage
No two roofs in New Jersey collect the same sun. Pitch, orientation, tree cover, roof age, and panel capacity all change what your system should look like and what it should cost.
Design decisions we make with you:
- Panel and inverter selection matched to your roof space and production target
- Rail-free mounting with hidden conduit, which keeps the array low-profile and the exterior clean
- Roof age and condition, so you are not paying to remove panels for a reroof in three years
- Battery backup for homes on circuits that go down often in storm season
- EV charger installation wired in during the same project
- Room to expand if you add a heat pump, a pool, or a second vehicle later
Solar Financing Options For Homeowners
Most New Jersey homeowners do not pay for solar up front. We walk you through financing options including cash purchase, solar loans, and lease or PPA structures, and we are direct about the tradeoffs.
Ownership matters here. Purchased and financed systems keep the SREC-II earnings and available tax incentives in your name, while a lease or PPA moves those to the provider in exchange for a lower entry cost. We show you both sets of numbers side by side.
Our Process
How We Take a New Jersey Home From First Bill to Permission to Operate
Six stages, from the first statement we read to the day your meter starts running backward. Most of the middle is paperwork we handle for you, and you hear from us at every handoff.
01.
Free Solar Consultation
We ask for 12 months of statements, not a monthly average. PSE&G, JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric, and Rockland Electric each report usage differently, and the real bills show your rate class, your seasonal peak, and whether solar clears the bar. If it does not, we say so.
02.
On-Site Survey and Solar Design
A NABCEP-certified member of our team measures the roof, records pitch and orientation, maps shading, and opens your electrical panel. Older housing stock across Camden County and Burlington County often needs a service upgrade first, and we would rather flag that now than on install day.
03.
Proposal Review and Contract Approval
You get panel and inverter models, system size, projected annual production, expected SREC-II earnings, and every payment path we offer, including the zero out of pocket option. Nothing is presented without the numbers sitting underneath it.
04.
Applications, Permits, and Utility Paperwork
New Jersey runs on home rule, so we file to your township under the state Uniform Construction Code, submit the interconnection application to your utility, and register the system for SREC-II through the SuSI program. This is the longest stretch of the project, and we track all three so you do not have to.
05.
Solar Installation and Inspections
Most installs run one to two days. We mount rail-free and run conduit inside the home wherever the framing allows, because rails and exterior conduit are the two things homeowners regret looking at. Building and electrical subcode inspections follow.
06.
System Activation and Long-Term Support
Your utility swaps in the net meter and issues Permission to Operate, then we commission the system and set up production monitoring on your phone. Our crew handles solar panel repair and maintenance from there, including systems other companies installed.

What Homeowners Are Saying
Questions Homeowners Ask Before Going Solar
Will my system still produce during a New Jersey winter?
Yes. Panels run on light, not heat, and cold weather actually improves output efficiency. Production drops with shorter days, which is why we size systems against your full-year usage rather than a summer peak.
Can my HOA stop me from installing solar in New Jersey?
New Jersey law limits how far a homeowners association can go in restricting solar on a home you own. Associations can set reasonable placement conditions, but a flat prohibition generally does not hold up.
What happens to my SREC-II earnings if I sell the house?
With an owned system, the registration transfers to the new owner along with the home. If your system is leased or under a PPA, the agreement has to be assigned to the buyer, which is one more reason we walk through ownership before you sign.
My roof is 15 years old. Should I replace it before installing solar?
Usually yes. Removing and reinstalling an array later costs more than replacing shingles first, so we assess roof condition during the site survey and tell you straight if you should wait.
Will my panels keep the lights on during a storm outage?
Not on their own. Grid-tied systems shut down during an outage for lineworker safety, so backup power requires a battery. Homes on outage-prone circuits usually add one.
Ready To Power Your Home With Solar?
Every bill you pay buys power you will never own. A system sized to your home turns that same money into an asset on your roof, with the paperwork, permits, and utility coordination handled for you.
We will pull your usage, run the numbers, and tell you honestly whether solar makes sense for your property.
