How did New Jersey Become a Leader in Solar?
New Jersey’sClean EnergyProgramTM was established in 2001. That year there were only six solar installations in the state. Since that time, New Jersey has established a model program and an integrated approach to solar development that includes:
A strong Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) with a dedicated carve-out for solar generated electricity that has helped create sustainable demand and investor confidence in the market. Learn more.
Excellent interconnection and net metering standards that have made it easier for projects to connect to the distribution system and be compensated for their contribution. Learn more.
A SREC financing model that provides energy certificates and additional long term financing for those who invest in solar.
