💡 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.

Egg Harbor Township Solar Guide 2026

Complete cost, ACE rates, NJ SuSI incentives, and hosting capacity guide for EHT homeowners.

Omar Jackson
Omar Jackson — EHT Solar Specialist I’ve completed 200+ installations in Egg Harbor Township since 2019. I monitor ACE hosting capacity weekly, know every neighborhood’s grid constraints, and have secured over $2M in NJ SuSI incentive revenue for EHT homeowners.

Egg Harbor Township is experiencing a solar boom. Over the past 18 months, we’ve installed solar on nearly every block from Bargaintown to Cardiff. Why? Because EHT homeowners are hitting a breaking point with Atlantic City Electric (ACE) rate hikes, and the math on solar in 2026 is nearly impossible to ignore.

If you’re considering solar for your EHT home, this guide covers everything: exact costs, ACE rate structures, the NJ SuSI incentive program, grid hosting capacity constraints, and the neighborhoods where solar is still available. Let’s dive in.

$2.90/W Average EHT Installation Cost
206 Days Average Annual Sunshine
$102,400 Avg. 25-Year Savings (12kW)

How Much Do Solar Panels Cost in Egg Harbor Township?

In 2026, the average cost for a solar installation in Egg Harbor Township is approximately $2.77 to $3.10 per watt (installed and complete). For the average EHT home with a 12 kW system, this translates to a gross investment of roughly $33,000 to $37,000.

However, most EHT homeowners don’t pay this upfront. Thanks to the federal tax credit rules that shifted in 2025, over 85% of EHT residents now choose $0-down solar leases or PPAs, where Solar by Omar retains the 30% federal tax credit to offset your monthly payment. Your cost? Zero down, fixed monthly payment (~$80–$130/month), full maintenance included, 25-year guarantee.

💡 The EHT Advantage: $0-Down Solar

Because ACE rates are so high and EHT roof conditions are ideal (flat roofs, southern exposure), the break-even point for solar is now 6–8 years. On a 25-year lease, that means 17–19 years of pure profit. Combined with the NJ SuSI incentive ($85.90/MWh × 10.5 MWh/year = ~$900/year), your true cost of solar is nearly free after 10 years.

Atlantic City Electric (ACE) Rates: Why Solar Now?

ACE’s residential rates in Egg Harbor Township have climbed to an effective rate of $0.2415 per kWh (as of March 2026). For a typical EHT home using 900 kWh/month in summer (due to AC usage), that’s a monthly bill of **$217+**. In winter, when usage drops, bills average $120–$150.

Over the past 5 years, ACE rates have increased an average of 3.8% annually. If that trend continues, your $150/month winter bill will be $175+ in 2031 and $205+ in 2036. Solar locks in your energy cost today — no more rate increases for 25 years.

EHT Neighborhoods We Serve

We provide custom 3D LIDAR solar designs and professional installation throughout Egg Harbor Township. Here are the neighborhoods where we’re currently most active:

Bargaintown
Scullville
Farmington
English Creek
West Atlantic City
Cardiff
Steelmansville
Jeffers Landing

The NJ SuSI Program: Your $900/Year Incentive

Every solar system installed in Egg Harbor Township is registered for the NJ Successor to Solar Incentive (SuSI) program. Here’s how it works:

The state pays you a fixed $85.90 per Megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity your system generates. A typical 12 kW EHT system generates approximately 10.5 MWh per year, resulting in a yearly payment of **$902**. This incentive is guaranteed for 15 years, with no strings attached — it’s pure income.

Over a 25-year system lifespan, the first 15 years of SuSI payments total approximately $13,530. This is real money that reduces your effective cost of solar dramatically.

ACE Hosting Capacity: Is Your Neighborhood Still Open?

One critical metric we monitor weekly is ACE’s hosting capacity. Some neighborhoods in EHT have hit “export limits,” meaning ACE won’t accept new solar systems that export excess power to the grid. If your neighborhood is constrained, you have two solutions: (1) Add a Tesla Powerwall 3 to store excess power locally (non-export mode), or (2) Join a community solar project that feeds power to a central hub with available capacity.

We use ACE’s live hosting capacity map to determine if your specific address is still open. If it’s red (constrained), we’ll advise a battery solution upfront rather than discovering this issue during engineering.

Owned vs. Leased Solar in EHT

⬆️ Ownership (Loan/Cash)

  • High upfront cost ($33K–$37K)
  • You claim 30% tax credit
  • You own SuSI payments ($13K+)
  • Roof warranty coordination
  • Insurance premium increase
  • Best ROI if you stay 15+ years

⬇️ Lease/PPA ($0 Down)

  • $0 upfront, fixed monthly payment
  • Solar company claims tax credit
  • We collect SuSI payments
  • We handle roof coordination
  • No insurance impact
  • Best if you’ll move or want certainty

Frequently Asked Questions

EHT’s building department is typically fast — 3–4 weeks from submission to approval. ACE electrical interconnection takes an additional 4–6 weeks. Total timeline: 8–10 weeks from contract to activation. We’ve completed this process over 200 times in EHT and have relationships with the township inspectors, so we often get expedited approval.
Yes. We perform a free 3D LIDAR drone inspection to assess roof age, condition, and structural integrity. If your roof is 15+ years old, we recommend bundling a new roof with solar. If it’s solid, we proceed with a 10-year workmanship warranty that protects both your roof and your system.
If your circuit is constrained, you have two options: (1) Add a Tesla Powerwall 3 ($9K–$13K) to operate in non-export mode and store excess power locally, or (2) Enroll in a community solar project in a green/open circuit. Both are viable; we’ll recommend based on your situation.
Absolutely. If you pair solar with a Powerwall 3 battery, you can charge during off-peak hours (11 PM–4 AM, ~$0.06/kWh) and discharge during peak hours (4–9 PM, ~$0.24/kWh). This arbitrage strategy adds $150–$200/year to your savings. Most EHT customers don’t need this, but it’s available if you want to maximize ROI.
If you own the system, you can transfer the SuSI agreement to the new owner (you’ll receive a check for the remaining balance as a closing credit). If you lease, the lease transfers to the new homeowner, and SuSI payments go to the solar company (part of the lease agreement). Either way, the incentive follows the system, not you.
Yes. EHT has three advantages: (1) High ACE rates ($0.24/kWh vs. $0.22 in some areas), (2) Ideal roof conditions (flat-roofed neighborhoods), and (3) Strong hosting capacity in most circuits. The combination creates a 6–8 year payback, compared to 8–10 years in other towns. EHT is one of South Jersey’s best solar markets.
