PSE&G Net Metering + NJ SuSI — One of the Strongest State Solar Incentive Stacks in the US
PSE&G Full Retail Net Metering. NJ SuSI Pays a Fixed Per-kWh Rate for 15 Years on Top. New Jersey Has One of the Most Active Solar Markets East of the Mississippi.
PSE&G (Public Service Electric and Gas) serves Newark and most of northern and central New Jersey with net metering at the full retail rate under NJBPU rules. New Jersey's Successor Solar Incentive (SuSI) program provides a fixed per-kWh payment over 15 years for qualifying new installations — layered on top of net metering. New Jersey has historically maintained one of the most robust solar incentive environments in the US, supported by a strong Renewable Portfolio Standard solar carve-out. The NJ market spans many municipalities each with its own building department: Essex County, Hudson County, Union County, Bergen County, and all their incorporated cities. We confirm AHJ per address before building every New Jersey plan set.
PSE&G Net Metering · Full Retail Rate · NJBPU Rules
✅PSE&G net metering: credits solar exports at full retail electricity rate
✅New Jersey BPU rules require PSE&G to offer net metering for residential solar
✅PSE&G interconnection: submit simultaneously with building permit
⚠️Some NJ areas served by JCP&L, Atlantic City Electric, or RECs — confirm per address
✅NJ property tax exemption for solar energy systems — permanent
NJ SuSI · 15-Year Fixed Incentive · Many Municipal AHJs
✅NJ SuSI: fixed per-kWh payment for 15 years for qualifying new installations
✅SuSI incentive is on top of net metering — two financial benefits simultaneously
⚠️Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, Elizabeth, and dozens of NJ cities each have own building depts
⚠️Essex County and Hudson County cover different addresses — confirm AHJ per address
✅NEC 2020 under New Jersey state adoption — consistent across all NJ AHJs
⚠️ New Jersey has many municipalities each with its own building department. Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, Elizabeth, Paterson, Irvington, and dozens more each maintain separate permit offices. Routing to the wrong municipality results in rejection. We confirm the AHJ per address before building every NJ plan set.
Why NJ Installers Outsource
NJ SuSI Docs Missing. Wrong Municipal Building Dept. PSE&G vs JCP&L Territory Confusion.
NJ SuSI Documentation Not Included in Plan Set Package
NJ SuSI requires specific project registration and documentation through the NJBPU portal. Installers who don't include NJ SuSI documentation guidance in their project delivery package leave 15 years of per-kWh incentive income at risk of delayed registration. We include NJ SuSI registration notes in every Newark plan set deliverable.
Routing a Jersey City or Hoboken Address to Newark Building Division
Newark Building Division covers only Newark city-limit addresses. Jersey City, Hoboken, Elizabeth, Paterson, and dozens of NJ municipalities have completely separate building departments. A plan set addressed to Newark for a Jersey City address is rejected immediately. AHJ confirmation is mandatory before any plan set work for every NJ project.
PSE&G vs JCP&L vs Atlantic City Electric — NJ Utility Territory Matters
PSE&G serves most of northern and central NJ. JCP&L (Jersey Central Power & Light) serves parts of central and western NJ. Atlantic City Electric serves southern NJ. Submitting a PSE&G interconnection application for a JCP&L address results in rejection. We confirm utility per address before building every New Jersey plan set.

Four Things That Define Solar in Newark.
NJ SuSI
New Jersey SuSI — Fixed 15-Year Per-kWh Incentive on Top of Net Metering
New Jersey's Successor Solar Incentive program provides a fixed per-kWh payment for solar generation over 15 years, paid through the utility bill. SuSI replaced the legacy SREC market and is administered by the NJBPU. New Jersey has maintained one of the most active solar incentive environments in the US for over a decade, driven by a strong RPS solar carve-out. NJ SuSI layered on top of PSE&G full retail net metering creates one of the strongest combined solar financial packages on the East Coast.
PSE&G NEM
PSE&G Full Retail Net Metering — One of the Largest East Coast IOU Territories
PSE&G serves approximately 2.3 million electric customers in New Jersey as one of the largest investor-owned utilities in the region. Full retail net metering credits every exported solar kilowatt-hour at the full retail electricity rate. Rising PSE&G rates improve solar ROI year over year. NJ electricity rates are among the highest in the Mid-Atlantic, making solar self-consumption especially valuable.
NJ Market
New Jersey — One of the Top 5 US States for Solar Installations Per Capita
New Jersey has consistently ranked among the top US states for solar installations relative to its land area and population. The combination of high electricity rates, strong state incentives, dense population, and flat to shallow-pitched suburban rooftops creates an extremely active residential solar market. New Jersey's proximity to New York City also creates large commercial and industrial solar opportunities.
Many AHJs
Northern New Jersey Has Hundreds of Municipalities — AHJ Confirmation Is Critical
New Jersey has one of the highest concentrations of incorporated municipalities per square mile in the US. Essex County alone has 22 municipalities. Hudson County has 12. Each municipality maintains its own building department with separate permit portals, fee schedules, and review timelines. We confirm the exact building department for every NJ address before building the plan set.
