Cherry Hill Solar Quick Facts 2026
Why Cherry Hill is One of NJ’s Best Solar Markets
Cherry Hill’s Solar Advantage
Cherry Hill’s housing stock — from the mid-century homes in Barclay Farm to the spacious properties in Erlton, Kingston Estates, and Willowdale — offers ideal south and west-facing roof exposure for maximum solar production. Average monthly electric bills of $376 mean your net metering credits are worth significantly more here than in lower-rate utility territories.
Camden County homeowners on PSE&G benefit from 1:1 retail net metering — every kilowatt-hour your system sends back to the grid is credited at the same retail rate you’d pay for electricity. PSE&G charges ~$0.26/kWh, which is among the higher residential rates in NJ. Higher rates mean higher net metering credit value, faster payback, and stronger total savings.
With PSE&G rates having increased significantly in recent years and further increases expected, Cherry Hill homeowners who lock in a fixed-rate solar program today are insulated from every future rate hike PSE&G files.
PSE&G Solar Grid Status for Cherry Hill in 2026
PSE&G publishes a Solar Power Suitability Map that shows each neighborhood’s circuit capacity in red, yellow, or green. Cherry Hill sits across multiple circuits — some neighborhoods have plenty of open capacity, others are filling up as solar adoption accelerates.
📌 Your specific street matters. A neighbor three blocks away might be on a green circuit while yours is yellow or red. The only way to know your exact status is to have someone with direct PSE&G database access run your address — which Omar does for free before any proposal. Learn what PSE&G map colors mean here.
Even if your circuit shows yellow or red on the map, that doesn’t automatically disqualify you. PSE&G still reviews Level 1 residential applications (under 10kW — which covers most homes) individually on restricted circuits. And getting your application in now means you’re first in line when PSE&G upgrades your area’s infrastructure.
Cherry Hill Solar Incentives in 2026 — What’s Left
⚠️ Federal Tax Credit Update — Important
The 30% federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) was eliminated effective January 1, 2026 by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Cherry Hill homeowners who purchased solar in 2025 can still claim it. In 2026, the only remaining federal pathway is through a $0-down solar lease or PPA — where the installer claims the commercial 48E credit and passes it through as a lower monthly rate. Compare lease vs loan for NJ homeowners here.
The good news: NJ’s own incentive stack remains strong and fully intact:
- NJ SuSI TREC Program — $85.90/MWh for 15 years. Your system earns quarterly payments for every megawatt-hour produced. This is separate from your bill savings — actual income paid directly to you.
- 1:1 Retail Net Metering. PSE&G credits your account at full retail rate for every kWh you export. Credits bank monthly and offset future usage.
- NJ Property Tax Exemption. Solar panels add measurable market value to your home but NJ law prohibits municipalities from raising your property tax assessment because of them.
- 0% NJ Sales Tax. All solar equipment is exempt from New Jersey’s 6.625% sales tax — an automatic saving at point of purchase.
- $0-Down Financing. No upfront cost through a solar lease — immediate monthly savings from day one, with the installer passing through the 48E federal credit benefit.
