💡 What is Efficient Partner Pricing (EPP)? ▼
Save Even More

Efficient Partner Pricing (EPP) rewards homeowners who help us operate efficiently. It's the same idea insurance companies use with non-smoker discounts — people who cost less to serve get better rates.

Here's how it works for you:

  • You set aside time to go through all the information and upgrade to solar in one visit
  • That saves us from making a second trip to your home
  • Each home we don't have to revisit lets us help one additional homeowner that month
  • We pass those efficiency savings back to you as a lower monthly rate

To lock in your EPP rate today, we just need three things:

  • ✅ Sign the agreement — get your solar journey started right now
  • ✅ Schedule your Engineering Visit — we send a specialist to finalize your custom system design
  • ✅ Set up autopay — enroll in automatic bank draft (ACH) to waive the monthly billing fee and lock in your lowest rate

It's a win-win. You get a better price today, and we get to help more families switch to solar. That's why the EPP rate you see above is lower than our standard pricing.

📄 Your Solar Lease — What You're Signing Up For

▼
1. Who Is This Agreement Between? ▼

This agreement is between you (the homeowner) and IGS Solar, LLC (the company that owns and maintains the solar system).

IGS Solar leases the equipment to you. You pay a monthly amount to use the system and keep the power it generates. IGS handles installation, insurance, repairs, and monitoring for the full 25 years.

All obligations start on the "Transaction Date" listed on your agreement — that's the day you sign.

2. How Long Is This Agreement? ▼

This is a 25-year lease — 300 months total. Think of it like leasing a car, but for solar panels.

The clock starts on the first day of the month right after your system gets turned on and connected to the grid. We call that the "Interconnection Date." Every year after that is a "Contract Year."

What this means for you: You're locking in your solar rate for 25 years. No renegotiating, no surprises. After 25 years, you choose what happens next — renew, buy the system, or let us remove it for free.

3. Your Monthly Payment ▼

You pay one fixed monthly amount for using the solar system. That's it. No equipment costs, no installation fees, no maintenance bills.

When you sign up, you'll set up automatic payment by credit card, debit card, or bank transfer (ACH). If you set up auto-pay through your bank (ACH), we usually waive the small monthly billing fee — so it's basically free to pay.

You'll get an email invoice every month. If a payment bounces, there's a standard returned-check fee (same as any other bill). If you're late, the fee is 1.5% per month on the past-due amount.

Sales tax may apply to your monthly payment, just like it does on your utility bill. That's normal.

Bottom line: Set it and forget it. One predictable payment. No utility bill roller coaster.

4. What Each Side Handles ▼

What IGS handles (so you don't have to):

  • Installation and construction start to finish
  • A revenue-grade meter that tracks every kilowatt-hour your system produces
  • Insurance on the system against damage or loss
  • All repairs if something breaks
  • No lien on your house — your home title stays clean. We may file a simple equipment notice (like a car loan notice) just to show we own the panels, but that's it

What we ask from you:

  • Keep trees and bushes trimmed so they don't shade the panels
  • Don't clean or modify the system yourself — call us if something looks off
  • Tell us ASAP if you see damage or something missing
  • Sign permit and inspection paperwork within 7 days when we send it
  • Keep your internet on — the monitoring system needs a connection to track performance. We can use your WiFi or install a cellular gateway
  • Get HOA approval if your neighborhood requires it
  • Don't use the system to heat a pool or hot tub
  • Share utility bills when we ask — helps us verify your savings

Roof work: If you're getting a new roof or doing construction that affects the panels, give us 30 days' notice. We'll coordinate removal and reinstallation. You keep paying your lease during any brief downtime.

Access: We need to get on your roof occasionally for maintenance or monitoring. We'll always try to give you reasonable notice. Access continues for 90 days after the lease ends, just in case we need to remove the system.

Bottom line: IGS handles the technical stuff. You handle basic homeowner stuff. Fair trade.

5. Before We Install ▼

Before installation day, we do our homework:

  • Engineering site audit to make sure your roof is solid
  • Final system design customized for your home
  • Real estate due diligence
  • All city permits, zoning, and building approvals
  • We claim any available rebates and renewable energy credits

You just need to return any paperwork we send you and get HOA approval if it applies.

If for some reason your roof can't support solar or the city won't approve it, we can cancel the agreement — but that's rare and protects both of us.

6. Changes to This Agreement ▼

The only way this agreement changes is if both of us sign a written amendment. No handshake deals, no verbal promises. We can fix utility paperwork to match the lease terms, but nothing changes your rate or your obligations without your signature.

7. Your Warranties ▼

Your protection comes from two documents:

  • The Limited Warranty (Exhibit 2) — covers defects, workmanship, and materials for 25 years
  • The Production Guarantee (Exhibit 3) — makes sure your system performs

Those two documents cover everything that matters. IGS doesn't make promises beyond what's in those exhibits — but honestly, they cover all the important stuff.

8. Can IGS Sell This Lease to Someone Else? ▼

Your lease may be transferred to a qualified financing partner — just like your mortgage gets sold to another bank. This is standard for solar leases.

Your rate, your terms, your warranty — nothing changes for you. The new company takes over the backend, and the old company is off the hook. Same as when your mortgage gets sold.

9. Who Owns the Equipment? ▼

IGS owns the panels, inverters, and equipment. It's considered personal property — like a leased car, not a built-in appliance. It doesn't become part of your house.

You can't let anyone put a lien on the equipment. If a contractor you hire separately tries to file a lien on the panels, you have 30 days to clear it.

Bottom line: You get all the benefits of solar without the headaches of ownership.

10. Who Owns the Power? ▼

You do. Every kilowatt-hour that hits your roof is yours. That's what you're paying for — the power, not the hardware.

11. Tax Credits & Incentives ▼

Since IGS owns the equipment, we claim the federal tax credits, state rebates, and renewable energy credits (SRECs). That's how we can offer you such a low monthly rate. We take the tax benefits on the front end, you take the savings on the back end. Win-win.

You'll need to sign some utility paperwork so we can process the incentives, but that's standard and takes two minutes.

Bottom line: The tax credits are baked into your low monthly payment. You're already getting the benefit — just in the form of savings instead of a tax form.

12. Can You Buy the System Later? Yes. ▼

Starting at year 5, you can buy the system outright if you want. The price is based on whichever is more fair:

  • Your remaining payments at a discount: All remaining lease payments, discounted at 5% per year. Basically "pay off the lease early at a discount."
  • What the system is actually worth: An independent appraiser figures out the fair market value. IGS pays for the appraisal.

If you buy it, you get any remaining manufacturer warranties and a bill of sale. From that day on, you're responsible for maintenance and repairs — just like you own it.

Bottom line: You have an exit ramp. Most people don't buy because the lease savings are already great, but the option is there if your situation changes.

13. What If You Sell Your House? ▼

You have three easy options. Most buyers love taking over a solar lease because it means lower electric bills from day one.

Option 1: Transfer the lease. Give us 30 days' notice, we run a quick credit check on the buyer. If they qualify, they take over the payments. This is the most common route — buyers see solar as a selling point.

Option 2: Prepay the lease. Pay off the remaining payments in a lump sum. The new owner pays nothing but still gets the solar power. Great for cash buyers.

Option 3: Buy the system (only if you're past year 5) and include it in the home sale. Now the buyer owns the panels free and clear.

Bottom line: Solar doesn't trap you in your house. It's a selling point. And if none of these work, talk to us — we want to help, not punish.

14. What Happens After Year 25? ▼

About 3 months before your lease ends, we mail you renewal forms. You have three choices:

  • Renew — sign the forms and keep going
  • Decline — sign the forms saying you're done, and the lease ends
  • Do nothing — your lease continues year-to-year at the same low rate, and you can stop anytime with 30 days' notice

If you don't renew or buy, we can remove the system for free at a time that works for you. Or we may transfer ownership to you as-is at no charge, and the system becomes yours to keep.

Bottom line: No cliff at year 25. You have options, and if you want out, we clean up after ourselves.

15. System Removal ▼

If you don't renew or buy after 25 years, we can remove the system for free and schedule it at your convenience. We'll take the panels off, seal the roof penetrations, and leave your roof as close to original as possible.

Or we may transfer ownership to you as-is at no charge, and the system becomes yours to keep.

16. Storms, Damage & Insurance ▼

Unless you intentionally damage the panels or are grossly negligent, IGS covers everything — hail, wind, fire, theft, you name it.

Your lease payment stays the same during repairs, but remember — you're still getting power from the grid, so your lights stay on while we fix the system. The repair is on us, not you.

Bottom line: Sleep easy. A tree falls on your roof? Not your wallet. Lightning strikes an inverter? We replace it.

17. Liability Limits ▼

If something goes wrong, IGS is only on the hook for direct damages — not lost profits, emotional distress, or other indirect stuff. Your liability to IGS is capped at what you'd owe under the default section.

Standard lease language. Every contract has it.

18. When Would This Go Bad? ▼

You're in default if:

  • You miss a payment and it's 30+ days late
  • You break a major rule and don't fix it within 14 days of us notifying you
  • You alter the system without permission
  • You give us false info on the application
  • You try to sell or transfer the lease without our okay
  • You go into bankruptcy or foreclosure

Bottom line: Pay your bill, don't mess with the equipment, and be honest. Do that, and you'll never think about this section. 99% of customers don't.

19. What Happens If Things Go South? ▼

This is the worst-case scenario section. If you default, we can try to fix the situation, take the system back, ask for the remaining value, or report it to credit bureaus.

This almost never happens because most people just pay their bill and enjoy the savings. If you're struggling, call us before you miss a payment — we'd rather work with you than against you.

20. Credit Check ▼

We run your credit when you apply. We report your payment history to credit bureaus.

Pay on time, build credit. Miss payments, it can hurt — just like any other bill. Standard stuff.

21. Photos of Your System ▼

We might take pictures of the panels on your roof for our website or marketing materials. Your name, address, and personal details stay private.

Your house might be a solar model home. No big deal.

22. Waivers ▼

If we don't enforce a rule one time, that doesn't mean we can't enforce it later. Standard contract language.

23. Legal Stuff ▼

This agreement follows the laws of your state. If there's a dispute, it gets handled in your local courts. No jury trials, no class actions — just straightforward resolution.

Standard legal boilerplate. Every contract has it.

24. Notices ▼

Important stuff has to be in writing — email, mail, or hand delivery. No "he said, she said."

25. The Whole Deal ▼

This document is the whole deal. No side agreements unless both of us sign them. If a court says one part doesn't work, the rest still stands.

26. Your Right to Cancel — 7-Day Safety Net ▼

You have 7 business days to change your mind. Zero cost. Zero hassle.

Sleep on it. Talk to your spouse. Google us. If you're not 100% in, cancel within a week and it's like it never happened. We'll refund any payments within 10 business days.

To cancel, just send a written notice to:

IGS Solar, LLC
6100 Emerald Parkway
Dublin, Ohio 43016
Email: SolarSupport@igs.com

Before You Sign ▼

By signing, you're saying:

  • "I've read this agreement and I understand it's legally binding"
  • "I know utility rates change over time, so savings can vary month to month — but over 25 years, the math is strongly in my favor"

Don't sign if there are blank spaces. Everything should be filled in before you put pen to paper.

Bottom line: You're making an informed decision. No pressure, no rush. You have 7 days to back out. Let me make sure every blank is filled and every question is answered before you sign.

Your 25-Year Warranty ▼

System Warranty: Professional install, free from defects in workmanship and materials for 25 years under normal use.

Roof Warranty: All roof penetrations are watertight for 5 years. If we put a hole in your roof, we seal it right.

Operation: The system will operate within manufacturer specs. If not, we repair or replace defective parts and restore operation.

Monitoring: Free monitoring for the full 25 years (unless you buy the system). We watch your production remotely. If something's off, we know before you do and we fix it.

Claims: Email SolarSupport@igs.com, call 888.974.0114, or mail overnight to 6100 Emerald Parkway, Dublin, OH 43016 — ATTN: IGS Residential Solar.

What's NOT covered: Damage you cause, unauthorized repairs, new tree growth shading the panels, or failures not caused by a system defect. Acts of God (hurricanes, earthquakes) — but remember, IGS still insures the system against those.

Bottom line: You're covered for 25 years. If the system breaks, underperforms, or leaks — we handle it. That's the whole point of leasing instead of buying.

Deptford Township, NJ — ACE Territory

Solar Panels in Deptford, NJ:
2026 Gloucester County Guide

Atlantic City Electric rates keep rising in South Jersey. Deptford and Sewell homeowners are locking in $0-down solar — and the state just approved 14.1 MW of new solar projects right here in Gloucester County.

Is solar worth it in Deptford, NJ in 2026?

Yes — Deptford is served by Atlantic City Electric at approximately $0.24/kWh with consistent rate increases making solar increasingly compelling. A typical 8kW system eliminates 80–100% of your ACE bill on a $0-down lease. NJ SuSI TREC payments add $815+/year for 15 years. The key local considerations are your ACE hosting capacity map status — some Gloucester County circuits are approaching limits — and the March 2026 NJBPU approvals for 14.1 MW of new solar projects specifically in Deptford, which signals strong local grid infrastructure investment. Solar by Omar checks your exact address against the live ACE eligibility map before any proposal.

Deptford Township sits in the heart of Gloucester County — a growing South Jersey community anchored by one of the region’s largest retail corridors, strong suburban housing stock, and direct access to Routes 42 and 55. It’s also now a focal point for NJ’s clean energy buildout, with the state choosing Deptford specifically for two of its most significant March 2026 solar project awards.

Why Deptford is at the Center of NJ’s 2026 Solar Buildout

In March 2026, the NJBPU approved its third Competitive Solar Incentive solicitation — and two of the three winning projects are right here in Gloucester County. The state chose Deptford for significant solar infrastructure investment, validating what local homeowners already know: this is one of South Jersey’s best solar markets.

📰 NJBPU March 2026 — Deptford Gets 14.1 MW of State-Approved Solar

The NJBPU approved Court at Deptford Solar (4.1 MW) and Deptford Landfill Solar (10 MW) as part of its third Competitive Solar Incentive program solicitation — totaling 14.1 MW of new solar generation specifically in Gloucester County. These utility-scale projects feed clean energy into the ACE grid serving Deptford homeowners. Meanwhile, homeowners don’t have to wait for utility-scale projects to benefit — a rooftop system delivers immediate, measurable savings on your personal ACE bill starting day one.

☀️ Deptford’s Solar Production Profile

Gloucester County averages approximately 4.5 peak sun hours per day. A typical 8kW Deptford system produces approximately 10,200 kWh per year. At ACE’s $0.24/kWh net metering rate that’s $2,448/year in bill savings plus $815+/year in SuSI TREC income — over $3,200 in total annual value. Deptford’s suburban housing stock — primarily colonials, ranches, and split-levels — typically offers good south and west-facing roof exposure with minimal commercial shading.

ACE Hosting Capacity Map — What Deptford Homeowners Need to Know

Atlantic City Electric uses a Hosting Capacity Map that shows each distribution circuit’s current solar capacity in green, yellow, or red. Deptford spans multiple ACE circuits — and circuit status matters more than your zip code when determining your interconnection timeline and eligibility.

A green circuit means straightforward interconnection with standard timelines. A yellow or red circuit means ACE may require additional review, upgraded equipment, or system size adjustments. Getting your application filed now — before a circuit fills — is one of the most important timing decisions a Deptford solar buyer can make.

Deptford Solar Incentives in 2026

⚠️ Federal Tax Credit Expired — Important Update for 2026

The 30% federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) was eliminated January 1, 2026. Deptford homeowners who purchase solar with cash or a loan receive zero federal tax benefit in 2026. The only remaining federal pathway is through a $0-down lease or PPA — where Solar by Omar claims the commercial Section 48E credit and passes it through as a lower monthly rate. For most South Jersey homeowners this is actually the better structure regardless. See our updated lease vs loan analysis here.

New Jersey’s incentive stack remains fully intact for Deptford homeowners:

  • NJ SuSI TREC Program — $85.90/MWh for 15 years. Quarterly income payments for every MWh your system produces. On an 8kW Deptford system — approximately $815/year totaling $12,225 over the full term.
  • ACE 1:1 Net Metering at $0.24/kWh. Full retail rate credit for every kWh exported to the ACE grid. Credits bank monthly and offset your bill automatically.
  • NJ Property Tax Exemption. Solar adds real market value but NJ law prohibits Deptford Township from raising your assessment because of it.
  • 0% NJ Sales Tax. All solar equipment exempt from NJ’s 6.625% sales tax at purchase — automatic, no application needed.
  • $0-Down Lease. No upfront cost. Immediate monthly savings. Section 48E commercial credit reflected in your rate.

Battery Backup & EV Charging for Deptford Families

As a major South Jersey retail and commuter hub — with direct access to the Atlantic City Expressway and Routes 42 and 55 — Deptford is seeing rapid EV adoption. A Level 2 EV charger integrated with your solar system means charging your vehicle from your own panels instead of paying ACE’s grid rate for every charge.

A Tesla Powerwall 3 or similar battery backup system keeps your Deptford home powered through storm outages — protecting your home office, medical devices, and critical appliances. Battery can be bundled into your solar project at no additional upfront cost on a lease structure.

Deptford Township Solar FAQs

Deptford Township is served by Atlantic City Electric (ACE), an Exelon subsidiary. ACE charges approximately $0.24/kWh and offers 1:1 retail net metering plus access to the NJ SuSI TREC program. ACE uses a Hosting Capacity Map showing circuit availability by area — Solar by Omar checks your exact address before any proposal. Read our full ACE solar guide here.
The NJBPU approved two Gloucester County solar projects as part of its third Competitive Solar Incentive solicitation: Court at Deptford Solar (4.1 MW) and Deptford Landfill Solar (10 MW) — totaling 14.1 MW of new utility-scale solar feeding the ACE grid. These are commercial grid-supply projects, separate from residential rooftop solar. Homeowners benefit from cleaner grid supply but should install their own rooftop system to directly reduce their personal ACE bill.
On a $0-down lease, Deptford homeowners pay nothing upfront with immediate monthly savings from day one. Purchased systems range from $18,000–$28,000 before NJ incentives. The 30% federal tax credit expired December 31, 2025 for direct purchases — leases access the commercial 48E credit indirectly. See full NJ solar cost breakdown.
Deptford spans multiple ACE circuits with different hosting capacity levels. Some circuits are fully open, others are approaching limits as South Jersey solar adoption accelerates. Your specific street determines your status — not your zip code. Solar by Omar checks your exact address against the live ACE Hosting Capacity Map for free before any proposal. Learn about the ACE hosting capacity map here.
NJ SuSI TREC payments ($85.90/MWh for 15 years), ACE 1:1 retail net metering at $0.24/kWh, NJ property tax exemption, and 0% NJ sales tax on all solar equipment. The federal 30% residential ITC expired December 31, 2025. See the full 2026 NJ incentives guide.
