What is Community Solar?

Community Solar is an easy way for you to help reduce New Jersey's energy dependence on fossil fuels. It enables residents to tap into solar energy without the hassle or cost of installing panels. Instead, through the use of community solar projects, solar power is delivered to your local power grid, and you receive solar credits on your utility bill.

Subscribers are eligible to join Community Solar projects in their home town, or in nearby town or county, depending on how the project is categorized by the NJ Clean Energy Office. The good news is that there are always multiple project options throughout the state that will be offered to new Subscribers as long as you live in PSEG’s service region. Subscribers can only receive their solar credits from one project and can not join multiple projects.

This is a statewide program and other utility companies are set to participate, so if you don’t live in PSEG’s service region contact your utility company to inquire about how to sign up for Community Solar.

ALL RESIDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE, INCLUDING RENTERS, TO RECEIVE A 31% SOLAR ENERGY CREDIT APPLIED TO THEIR ELECTRICITY BILLS.

SPACE ON THESE PROJECTS ARE LIMITED AND ONCE PROJECTS CLOSE OUT FOR 2025 INTERESTED RESIDENTS WILL BE PLACED ON A WAITLIST TO BE ADDED TO 2026 PROJECTS ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVED BASIS.
