The 5 Things That Determine If You Qualify
Here’s exactly what Omar checks when he reviews your address — no mystery, no surprises.
You Own the Home
Homeownership is the only non-negotiable. You need to be on the deed to authorize a roof installation. Renters do not qualify.
Your Atlantic City Electric Circuit Is Open
Atlantic City Electric restricts new solar on overloaded circuits. Your specific street needs available capacity on the Suitability Map — which Omar checks directly.
Reasonable Sun Exposure
Your roof needs enough unshaded area to generate meaningful output. South or west-facing roofs are ideal. Heavy tree cover can be a barrier.
Roof in Workable Condition
Your roof doesn’t need to be new — but it needs to have useful life remaining. If it needs replacement, it can often be bundled into the solar project.
No Minimum Credit Score
NJ’s $0-down programs are broadly accessible. You don’t need perfect credit — most homeowners with a paid-up Atlantic City Electric account qualify.
Atlantic City Electric Account in Good Standing
No significant past-due balance on your Atlantic City Electric account. Current on your bill is all that’s required.
💡 Don’t self-disqualify. Many homeowners assume they won’t qualify because of their roof age, credit, or grid color — and they’re wrong. The only way to know for certain is to check your specific address. Omar has gotten approvals in situations most companies would have walked away from.
What Qualifying Atlantic City Electric Homeowners Actually Get
A $0-down solar program through Atlantic City Electric’s grid isn’t just free panels. Here’s the full picture of what an eligible homeowner receives:
- $0 upfront cost. No down payment, no installation fee, no permits to pull yourself.
- A fixed monthly solar payment replacing your variable Atlantic City Electric bill — protected from future rate hikes.
- NJ SuSI TREC payments for 15 years — a separate income stream on top of your bill savings.
- Full net metering credits from Atlantic City Electric at retail rate for every excess kilowatt-hour your panels produce.
- Roof replacement bundled in if your roof needs work before installation.
- Full in-house installation — no subcontractors, no out-of-state crews.
⚠️ ACE Rate Hikes Are the Highest in New Jersey — And More Are Coming
Atlantic City Electric customers have absorbed some of the steepest rate increases of any utility in NJ — 17–20% over recent years, with an additional 8% hike filed for 2026/2027. South Jersey homeowners are paying among the highest residential electric rates in the state with no end in sight.
Every month you stay on ACE’s grid is another month funding their infrastructure at full retail rates. A fixed-rate solar program locks your energy cost permanently — meaning every future rate hike ACE files hits your neighbors, not you.
