If you’ve been considering solar, now is your moment—and the clock is ticking.
The Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is under threat, and a proposed bill in Congress could significantly reduce or eliminate this crucial incentive for residential solar. If you wait, you could lose 30% of your solar savings overnight.

But that’s not the only reason to act fast—especially if you live in New Jersey, where the cost of buying electricity from the utility is dramatically higher than the cost of generating your own power with rooftop panels.

That’s often a savings of $6,000 to $10,000 or more, instantly cutting the cost of your solar system and significantly reducing your payback period.
But that 30% savings? It’s not guaranteed to last. A bill in the U.S. Senate could reduce or even eliminate the ITC entirely—and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

What’s Changing—and Why Time Is Running Out
Congress is actively debating legislation that would cut or phase out the ITC for residential solar projects. That means homeowners who delay could be locked out of one of the biggest financial incentives ever offered for clean energy.
**If you wait just a few months too long, your solar project could cost thousands more—for the exact same system. You’d also miss out on months (or years) of savings on your electricity bills.

New Jersey: Stop Paying Full Price for Power
If you’re a homeowner in New Jersey, you’re already paying some of the highest utility rates in the region—and those rates are rising.
Here’s the truth:

Utility companies like PSE&G and JCP&L charge you full retail price for electricity—often 18–22 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) or more.

When you install solar, you can generate that same electricity for as little as 4–6 cents per kWh—or even less, depending on your system and financing.
That’s up to 75% cheaper just by producing your own power.

What Happens If You Wait?
Delaying your switch to solar could cost you big:

• Lose 30% in tax credit savings
  
• Longer payback period and lower ROI
  
• Higher utility bills for years to come
  
• Lower home resale value, since future buyers won’t get the same tax break

What You Lock In By Going Solar Today

✔️ 30% Federal Tax Credit (before it’s reduced or eliminated)
✔️ Huge savings—produce power for pennies vs. buying at retail
✔️ Predictable monthly energy costs, not surprise rate hikes
✔️ Access to New Jersey SREC-II incentives (extra income for the solar you produce)
✔️ A boost to your home’s resale value and long-term energy independent

The Window Is Closing—Act Before It’s Too Late
New Jersey is one of the best states in the country to go solar thanks to strong sunlight, high electricity rates, and excellent state-level programs. But none of that matters if the federal tax credit disappears.
If you wait until Congress acts, it will be too late. The smartest move is to lock in your savings now—before demand surges and installer availability dries up.
