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 PSE&G Circuit Is Open
PSE&G 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 PSE&G account qualify.
PSE&G Account in Good Standing
No significant past-due balance on your PSE&G 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 PSE&G Homeowners Actually Get
A $0-down solar program through PSE&G’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 PSE&G 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 PSE&G 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.
⚠️ PSE&G Rate Hikes Make This More Urgent in 2026
PSE&G has historically filed for rate increases every 2–3 years, and 2026 is no exception. Every month you stay on the grid at full PSE&G rates is a month you’re paying for electricity you could be generating yourself — at a locked-in cost that doesn’t change regardless of what PSE&G does next.
Homeowners who went solar in 2023 are already insulated from the increases that happened since. Homeowners who go solar in 2026 will be insulated from everything that comes after.
