🔵 Delaware⚡ GEP Grant + SRECs + Full NEM — America's First Triple Incentive State

Delaware
Solar Permit Plans.
NEC 2020. GEP Grant.
SRECs $30/yr. No Sales Tax.

Delaware stacks three solar incentives that few states match: a cash grant through the Green Energy Program, ongoing SREC income for 25 years, and full 1:1 retail net metering. The critical installer decision: DPL customers who take the $6,000 GEP grant must surrender their SRECs to the state. DEC and DEMEC customers who take grants keep their SRECs. The right structure depends on system size, tenure, and SREC value assumptions.

Delaware Solar Permits — 2026

Delaware's Triple Incentive Stack: GEP Cash Grant + SREC Income + Full Retail Net Metering.

Permit Design builds Delaware solar permit plan sets for solar installers, EPCs, and roofing companies across all three Delaware counties. Delaware's electrical code is NEC 2020 under the Delaware Board of Electrical Examiners. Structural codes are the 2021 IBC and 2021 IRC. Delaware is one of a small number of states that offers installers a genuine triple-incentive stack: the Green Energy Program cash grant paid by the customer's utility, ongoing SREC production income through Delaware's Renewable Portfolio Standard, and full 1:1 retail-rate net metering. Delaware has no state sales tax — solar equipment carries zero sales tax, saving $1,000 to $1,800 versus neighboring Maryland, Pennsylvania, or New Jersey.

The most consequential decision in a Delaware solar proposal is understanding which incentive programs apply and how the GEP grant interacts with SREC ownership. Delmarva Power and Light (DPL) customers who apply for the GEP grant — up to $6,000 cash — must assign their Solar Renewable Energy Credits to the state as a condition of the program. Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC) and DEMEC municipal utility customers who receive grants keep their SRECs. Since SRECs generate approximately $30 per certificate for the first 10 years (and $10 per certificate for years 11 through 25), the math on DPL grant versus retained SRECs is not always obvious and should be modeled for each customer's system size.

Last updated: June 2026 · Delaware GEP grant rates, SREC values, NEM policy (including SJR 1 study), and NEC 2020 adoption confirmed as of June 2026.

Green Energy Program — Three Sub-Programs

DPL $6K Grant but You Lose SRECs. DEC and DEMEC Grant and You Keep SRECs. The Right Call Depends on System Size.

Delaware's Green Energy Program is administered by the Delaware Energy Office (DNREC) through three separate utility-specific sub-programs. The incentive amounts differ — and so does the SREC assignment requirement. This is the single most important distinction in Delaware solar proposals.

Delmarva Power (DPL)
$0.70/W — Max $6,000
$6,000 max
For systems up to ~8.5 kW at $0.70/W
⚠️ SRECs assigned to state — you lose SREC income
DPL is Delaware's investor-owned utility serving most of the state. The GEP grant is $0.70 per watt of installed capacity, capped at $6,000 for residential systems. The catch: DPL grant recipients must assign all SRECs generated by the system to the state for the duration of the grant agreement. For a 10-year SREC income stream of ~$30 per certificate and a typical 8 kW system generating ~10 SRECs per year, the surrendered SRECs are worth approximately $2,400 over 10 years at current prices. DPL grant total value: $6,000 upfront minus $2,400 in surrendered SRECs = net ~$3,600 effective incentive, versus taking no grant and keeping all SREC income over 25 years.
Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC)
$0.50/W first 5 kW · $0.20/W beyond
~$2,500–$3,500
For qualifying residential systems in Kent + Sussex co-op territory
✅ SRECs — you keep them
Delaware Electric Cooperative serves rural members primarily in Kent and Sussex counties. The DEC GEP sub-program provides $0.50 per watt for the first 5 kW and $0.20 per watt for capacity above 5 kW, up to approximately $2,500 to $3,500 depending on system size. DEC grant recipients retain full ownership of their SRECs — the grant and SREC income can both be earned from the same system. Note that DEC has interconnection restrictions in some areas that may affect eligibility for new rooftop solar — verify grid eligibility before committing to a DEC-territory project.
DEMEC Municipal Utilities
$1.00/W first 5 kW · $0.50/W beyond
Up to ~$3,500
Newark, Milford, Lewes, Middletown, Smyrna, others
✅ SRECs — you keep them
DEMEC (Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation) represents municipal utilities in Newark, Milford, Lewes, Middletown, Smyrna, and others. DEMEC offers the highest per-watt rate in the program — $1.00 per watt for the first 5 kW and $0.50 per watt beyond, up to approximately $3,500. DEMEC grant recipients keep their SRECs. Important exception: customers of Dover, New Castle, Clayton, Lewes, Middletown, Milford, Smyrna, and Seaford city utilities are not eligible for the GEP rebate. Verify municipal utility participation status before proposing GEP incentives to DEMEC-area customers.
How to model the DPL grant vs SREC decision. For a DPL customer with an 8 kW system: the GEP grant pays $5,600 upfront. The surrendered SRECs are worth ~$2,400 over 10 years at $30 each (~10 SRECs/year × 10 years). Net effective grant: ~$3,200. If the customer keeps the SRECs instead and sells them at $30 each for 10 years plus $10 each for years 11-25, the total SREC income is approximately $3,600. In this scenario, forgoing the grant and keeping SRECs delivers a similar total dollar amount — but the timing differs (upfront grant versus spread over 25 years). For larger systems where the grant is capped at $6,000 but SREC income scales with production, skipping the grant may be better. Model both paths.
Delaware Net Metering

Full 1:1 Retail NEM — Across All Delaware Utilities. SJR 1 Cost-Benefit Study Could Trigger Policy Changes.

Delaware requires all electric utilities to offer net metering at the full retail rate. The program structure is consistent statewide, but Senate Joint Resolution No. 1 (2025) mandated a cost-benefit review that could lead to legislative changes.

Current NEM Structure — All DE Utilities
Full 1:1 Retail Rate · 12-Month Window · 25 kW Cap
Delaware law requires all electric utilities — DPL, DEC, and DEMEC members — to offer net metering at the full retail rate. Residential systems up to 25 kW are eligible (S.B. 111 of 2023 raised the farm customer cap to 150 kW). Credits are tracked in kilowatt-hours, not dollars, and roll forward monthly within a 12-month window. At the annual true-up, unused credits expire — but homeowners may elect to receive a check for any remaining surplus at the full retail rate. Homeowners choose their own true-up month once; March or April is the conventional choice to ensure summer production is captured within the annual window. Systems may be sized up to 110% of the previous 12 months' electricity use.
SJR 1 — NEM Under Review
January 2025 Study Mandate · Results Published April 2025
Delaware Senate Joint Resolution No. 1, passed in January 2025, required all Delaware electric utilities to commission and participate in a net metering cost-benefit study. The study was published in April 2025. Legislative action based on the study findings is possible — potential outcomes include adjustments to the retail-rate credit structure, changes to the annual true-up rules, or caps on total net-metered capacity. As of June 2026, Delaware's full retail-rate NEM remains in effect. Installers should monitor the Delaware General Assembly for any net metering legislation introduced in 2026 based on the study findings.
Delaware Code Structure

NEC 2020 Statewide · 2021 IBC + IRC · Coastal Sussex Wind Exposure

Delaware's code structure is straightforward — statewide NEC and IBC/IRC editions with no local variation. Wind is the primary structural variable, with coastal Sussex County carrying Atlantic storm exposure.

Electrical
NEC 2020 — Statewide
✓ Delaware Board of Electrical Examiners
✓ Delaware amendments apply
✓ §690.12: rapid shutdown
✓ NEC 2023 not yet adopted
Structural
2021 IBC + 2021 IRC
✓ Delaware amendments apply
✓ ASCE 7 wind per county
✓ Coastal Sussex: elevated wind
✓ Snow loads: modest statewide
Sales Tax
0% — No Delaware State Sales Tax
✓ Delaware has no state sales tax
✓ Solar equipment: $0 tax
✓ vs MD 6%, PA 6%, NJ 6.625%
✓ Saves $1,000–$1,800 vs neighbors
Delaware's structural load profile: wind-dominant, snow-modest. Sussex County's coastal beach communities — Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island, Lewes, Ocean City adjacent areas — carry elevated ASCE 7 wind exposure from Atlantic storm tracks. Northern New Castle County near Wilmington carries lower design wind values than the southern coast. Ground snow loads across all three Delaware counties are modest relative to neighboring states — Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey all carry higher snow design loads for similar latitudes. Wind is the primary structural engineering variable in Delaware solar installation design.
What's Included

Delaware Solar Permit Plan Set Contents

Every Delaware plan set references NEC 2020, 2021 IBC or IRC with county ASCE 7 wind values, and DPL or DEC interconnection documentation — with GEP program type and SREC assignment status noted throughout.

NEC 2020 with Delaware Board of Electrical Examiners amendments. 2021 IRC (residential) or 2021 IBC (commercial) with Delaware provisions. Utility confirmed — DPL, DEC, or DEMEC municipal utility. GEP sub-program identified: DPL grant type with SREC assignment noted, or DEC/DEMEC grant type with SREC retention noted. County identified for ASCE 7 wind lookup — coastal Sussex County carries elevated Atlantic storm wind design values.
Sheet 02
Site Plan
Dimensioned property plan with parcel boundaries, DPL or DEC meter location, interconnection point, and wiring path from array through inverter to the electrical panel. County noted for ASCE 7 wind lookup. Sussex County coastal communities (Rehoboth, Bethany, Lewes, Fenwick Island) receive their own confirmed coastal wind exposure category — the ASCE 7 design wind speeds in beachfront Sussex County differ from inland Delaware north of Dover.
Sheet 03
Roof Layout
Array layout with module count, roof pitch, azimuth, setbacks, and attachment point spacing per 2021 IRC framing chapters. Fire setback pathways per local AHJ. System sized up to 110% of prior 12 months' electricity use per Delaware NEM sizing rules. Sizing note references the selected GEP sub-program — DPL-grant customers have SREC production assigned to state, while DEC and DEMEC customers retain SREC income from the sized production.
Sheet 04
Single-Line Diagram
NEC 2020 Article 690 wiring diagram — rapid shutdown per §690.12 NEC 2020 format, bidirectional net meter shown per DPL or DEC interconnection requirements.

FAQ

Delaware Solar Permit Design — Frequently Asked Questions

NEC 2020. Delaware's Board of Electrical Examiners administers the statewide electrical code, which references the 2020 National Electrical Code with Delaware-specific amendments. Delaware has not adopted NEC 2023 as of 2026. Solar permits across all three Delaware counties — New Castle, Kent, and Sussex — reference NEC 2020 Article 690 rapid shutdown requirements.
Delaware's Green Energy Program provides cash grants through three utility sub-programs. DPL customers receive $0.70 per watt up to $6,000 but must assign their SRECs to the state. DEC customers receive $0.50 per watt for the first 5 kW and $0.20 per watt beyond and keep their SRECs. DEMEC customers receive $1.00 per watt for the first 5 kW and $0.50 per watt beyond (up to ~$3,500) and keep their SRECs. The DPL grant versus SREC retention decision should be modeled for each customer's system size and SREC income assumptions over the 25-year program period.
Delaware requires all utilities to provide net metering at the full retail rate. Residential systems up to 25 kW are eligible. Credits track in kilowatt-hours and roll forward monthly within a 12-month window. At the annual true-up, unused credits expire — but homeowners can elect to receive a check for the surplus at the full retail rate. Homeowners choose their own true-up month; March or April is the conventional recommendation. Systems may be sized up to 110% of prior 12 months' usage. Senate Joint Resolution No. 1 (January 2025) required a cost-benefit study published April 2025 — policy changes to NEM are possible but have not been enacted as of June 2026.
Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) are certificates issued for every megawatt-hour of solar energy generated. Delaware's RPS requires utilities to source a percentage of power from solar, creating ongoing SREC demand. Delaware SRECs trade on the PJM-EIS GATS platform at approximately $30 each for years 1-10 and $10 each for years 11-25 under the fixed-price program. A typical 8 kW Delaware system generates approximately 10 to 11 SRECs per year — about $300 to $330 annually for the first decade. DPL Green Energy Program grant recipients must assign SRECs to the state; DEC and DEMEC grant recipients keep them.
Delaware references the 2021 IBC and 2021 IRC. Structural calculations use ASCE 7 wind values for the specific county. Coastal Sussex County — Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island, and Lewes — carries elevated Atlantic storm wind exposure. New Castle County near Wilmington carries lower design wind values. Ground snow loads are modest statewide. Wind is Delaware's primary structural engineering variable for solar racking design.
Delaware has no state sales tax at all — the statewide sales tax rate is 0%. Solar equipment and installation services carry no sales tax in Delaware. This is a direct cost advantage compared to neighbors: Maryland charges 6% sales tax, Pennsylvania charges 6%, and New Jersey charges 6.625%. On a $20,000 solar system, Delaware's zero sales tax saves $1,200 to $1,325 versus those states. See DSIRE Delaware for the current statewide solar incentive listing.
Delmarva Power and Light (DPL), an Exelon subsidiary, serves most of Delaware's population including Wilmington, Dover, Newark, and coastal Sussex County. Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC) serves rural members in Kent and Sussex counties. DEMEC represents municipal utilities including Newark, Milford, Lewes, Middletown, Smyrna, Seaford, and Clayton. Important: customers of Dover, New Castle, Clayton, Lewes, Middletown, Milford, Smyrna, and Seaford are not eligible for the Green Energy Program rebate.
Possibly. Senate Joint Resolution No. 1 (January 2025) required all Delaware utilities to participate in a net metering cost-benefit study, with results published in April 2025. Legislative action based on those findings is possible in the 2026 General Assembly session but had not been enacted as of June 2026. Delaware's full retail-rate NEM is currently intact. Installers should monitor Delaware General Assembly activity for any net metering bills introduced following the study.
Permit Design delivers Delaware solar permit plan sets within 24-48 hours. Every plan set references NEC 2020 with Delaware Board of Electrical Examiners amendments, 2021 IBC or IRC with county ASCE 7 wind values, and DPL or DEC interconnection documentation. GEP sub-program type and SREC assignment status noted. Free revisions until the Delaware AHJ approves.
Delaware Solar Market — 2026

Delaware Solar by the Numbers

$6,000
DPL Green Energy Program — Max Grant
Delmarva Power's GEP sub-program pays $0.70 per watt up to $6,000 — the highest cash grant cap in the state. The trade-off: DPL grant recipients must sign over their SRECs to the state. For a typical 8 kW system, the $5,600 grant minus the ~$2,400 in surrendered SREC value (at $30 per SREC over 10 years) nets approximately $3,200 in effective incentive. Model the full 25-year SREC income stream against the upfront grant before recommending which path to take.
~$30/SREC
Delaware SREC Price — Years 1-10
Delaware SRECs trade at approximately $30 per certificate for the first 10 years under the state's fixed-price program, then $10 per certificate for years 11 through 25. A typical 8 kW Delaware residential system generates approximately 10 to 11 SRECs annually — about $300 to $330 per year in SREC income for the first decade. DEC and DEMEC grant recipients earn SREC income alongside their grant. DPL grant recipients surrender SRECs as a grant condition.
0%
Delaware State Sales Tax
Delaware is one of five US states with no state sales tax. Solar equipment and installation labor carry zero sales tax. On a $20,000 solar installation, Delaware's zero sales tax saves $1,200 compared to Maryland or Pennsylvania (6%) and $1,325 compared to New Jersey (6.625%). This is a direct incentive that requires no application, no approval, and no paperwork.
SJR 1
NEM Cost-Benefit Study — April 2025
Senate Joint Resolution No. 1 (January 2025) required all Delaware utilities to commission a net metering cost-benefit study. Results were published April 2025. The study could lead to changes in Delaware's full retail-rate net metering structure. As of June 2026, full retail NEM remains in effect. Delaware solar customers who install in 2026 are encouraged to monitor General Assembly activity for any net metering legislative response to the study.
25 kW
Residential NEM System Size Cap
Delaware net metering covers residential systems up to 25 kW. S.B. 111 of 2023 raised the cap for farm customers on residential rates to 150 kW. Systems must be sized at no more than 110% of the prior 12 months' electricity use. Homeowners choose their own annual true-up month — once — with March or April the standard recommendation for optimal summer credit capture.
~9 yrs
Estimated Payback — With GEP + SRECs
Delaware solar payback periods run approximately 8 to 10 years for DPL customers who take the GEP grant, when the surrendered SREC value is accounted for and prior to the end of the federal 25D tax credit. Without the federal credit (ended December 31, 2025), payback extends to approximately 12 to 15 years depending on system size, utility, and GEP program participation. Delaware remains one of the stronger mid-Atlantic solar markets given the stacked GEP + SREC + NEM incentive combination.
Delaware AHJ Rejections

Top 3 Reasons Delaware Solar Permits Get Rejected

Three issues generate most Delaware plan set corrections at county and municipal building departments.

01
NEC 2023 Format on a Delaware Permit
Delaware is on NEC 2020 — not NEC 2023. Multi-state installers who maintain NEC 2023 plan set templates for other mid-Atlantic or New England states will generate NEC edition mismatches when submitting to Delaware building officials. NEC 2023 §690.12(D) labeling and single-device formatting do not match the NEC 2020 requirements that Delaware AHJs are reviewing against. Delaware and neighboring Maryland are both on NEC 2020, but New Jersey and some Connecticut jurisdictions are on NEC 2023 — the distinction requires installer template discipline.
NEC 2020 · Delaware Board of Electrical Examiners
How we prevent it: Delaware plan sets reference NEC 2020 under the Delaware Board of Electrical Examiners. NEC 2023 formatting is not carried from other-state templates into Delaware documentation.
02
System Oversized Above 110% of Annual Use
Delaware net metering rules cap system sizing at 110% of the previous 12 months' electricity use. Utility interconnection applications for systems that exceed this threshold are returned. This is a common error when installers use a single national sizing methodology — perhaps 120% or 130% coverage — without applying Delaware's specific 110% rule. The issue affects the interconnection application at DPL or DEC, not just the building permit, creating two-stage delays.
Delaware Net Metering Rules · DPL/DEC Interconnection Application
How we prevent it: System sizing notation on the roof layout and single-line diagram references the 110% cap and confirms the proposed system is within the customer's eligible size based on prior 12-month usage provided at order.
03
Coastal Sussex Wind Values Underspecified
Sussex County's beachfront communities — Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island — carry ASCE 7 wind exposure values above inland Delaware or New Castle County. Structural calculations using statewide averages or northern Delaware wind values for a coastal Sussex installation are flagged by structural plan reviewers. The difference between Wilmington's ASCE 7 wind speed and Rehoboth Beach's is meaningful for racking attachment engineering.
ASCE 7 · 2021 IRC Ch. 3 · Coastal Sussex County
How we prevent it: ASCE 7 wind speed and exposure category are confirmed per the specific county — coastal Sussex County beach community addresses receive their own confirmed design values, not averaged with inland Delaware figures.
