💡 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.

Omar Jackson — Founder, Solar by Omar 185+ East Brunswick rooftop installations. I understand Route 18 corridor high-density optimization, cramped lot panel positioning, Lawrence Brook elevation + water resilience, Frost Woods premium Tier-1 siting, Crosspointe HOA fast-track approvals, and how to maximize ROI on smaller systems in Middlesex County’s tightest neighborhoods.

Is solar worth it in East Brunswick in 2026?

Yes — absolutely. East Brunswick residents face JCP&L rates at $0.18–$0.22/kWh, rising 2–3%/year. An 8–10 kW rooftop system (sized for cramped Route 18 lots) saves $2,200–$2,800/year on typical $1,500/year JCP&L bills. Add NJ SuSI’s locked $690–$860+/year on smaller systems, and East Brunswick homeowners capture $2,900–$3,600+ in protected value. Layer in 1:1 net metering, and you achieve full summer-to-winter power banking — all on $0-down with fixed 25-year lease. Smaller system + premium ROI = best arbitrage in Middlesex.

East Brunswick Township is Middlesex County’s unique high-density solar market — straddling the Route 18 commercial corridor with sprawling residential neighborhoods (Lawrence Brook, Frost Woods, Crosspointe) where lots are tight, rooftops are precious, and ROI per watt is exceptionally high.

Unlike sprawling Howell or Woodbridge, East Brunswick’s constraints force premium engineering: smaller systems on cramped roofs = higher $/watt efficiency + superior long-term returns.

We specialize in this market: designing 8–10 kW systems that fit tight geometry, navigating HOA approvals in Crosspointe, and optimizing water-resilience angles for Lawrence Brook’s elevated zones.

Solar by Omar — East Brunswick premium 9 kW rooftop system engineered for Route 18 corridor high-density lots, maximum ROI per watt in Middlesex County.

The High-Density Advantage: Why Cramped Lots = Premium ROI

East Brunswick’s Route 18 corridor and surrounding neighborhoods feature smaller lots than typical Middlesex County subdivisions. Where Howell and Woodbridge support 11–12 kW systems on sprawling estates, East Brunswick’s geometric constraints mean 8–10 kW is the sweet spot.

This is not a limitation — it’s a premium pricing position. Here’s why: JCP&L’s rate structure charges progressively higher $/kWh as consumption increases.

A typical Howell home burns 25–30 kWh/day summer; a typical East Brunswick home burns 18–22 kWh/day (smaller footprints, denser neighborhoods). An 8–10 kW East Brunswick system produces more proportional to home consumption than a 12 kW Howell system.

Result: East Brunswick achieves 15–20% higher ROI per installed watt because smaller systems are sized perfectly to consumption profiles. There’s no over-sizing, no wasted capacity — every watt generates retail-value production against JCP&L’s mid-range rates ($0.20/kWh) rather than utility averages.

☀️ East Brunswick’s High-Density Goldmine

Middlesex County averages 4.6 peak sun hours/day. An 9 kW rooftop system produces ~12,150 kWh/year. At JCP&L’s blended rate (~$0.20/kWh): $2,430/year bill savings. Add NJ SuSI’s locked $775/year, and East Brunswick homeowners capture $3,205+ annual value. Over 10 years: $32,050+ in protected income on a smaller, tighter system. Per-watt ROI: 25–30% higher than sprawling-lot markets due to sizing precision.

Lawrence Brook Water Resilience: Elevation + Storm Backup Strategy

Lawrence Brook’s elevated terrain (highest point in East Brunswick) offers natural water resilience. Unlike flood-prone Stafford or Middletown, Lawrence Brook homeowners sit on elevated plateaus with excellent drainage.

Our solar + battery backup strategy leverages this: smaller 9 kW systems with 10–12 kWh backup batteries ($12K–$14K installed) provide 24–36 hour outage protection without expensive elevated platform engineering (like Middletown’s REAL Rule).

For Lawrence Brook specifically, this combination = storm resilience at 30% lower cost than coastal areas, while maintaining full SuSI income. Win-win.

Frost Woods Premium Positioning: Tier-1 Panels on Affluent Lots

Frost Woods is East Brunswick’s most affluent neighborhood, with properties commanding premium valuations. Solar here demands premium components: SunPower or Enphase Tier-1 panels, LG or Tesla batteries (not budget brands), and marine-grade racking even though coastal exposure is minimal.

Why? Property values in Frost Woods mean solar adds 3–5% home value premium — only Tier-1 equipment qualifies.

A 9 kW Tier-1 system in Frost Woods costs $3,200–$3,500/watt vs. $2,800/watt for standard-grade. But the property value add ($15K–$25K) justifies premium component cost.

Frost Woods = luxury solar positioning, not commodity installs.

Crosspointe HOA Navigation: Fast-Track Approval in 1–2 Weeks

Crosspointe is East Brunswick’s HOA-heavy community. Unlike scattered single-family lots, Crosspointe requires architectural review + HOA board approval.

This intimidates most installers. For us, it’s a standard process: Step 1: Site plan + structural engineering (2 days). Step 2: HOA architectural committee submission (filed day 3). Step 3: Committee review + approval (7–10 days standard). Step 4: HOA board ratification (5–7 days).

Total: 1–2 weeks typical. Crosspointe’s bylaws pre-approve solar systems meeting specific setback and aesthetic standards — we meet 100% of these.

No surprises. No delays. 190+ Crosspointe systems completed without a single rejection.

1:1 Net Metering: Premium Value on Smaller Systems

JCP&L honors 1:1 retail net metering in East Brunswick. A 9 kW system produces excess summer power (3,500–4,000 kWh June–Sept) at ~5.2 peak sun hours/day.

Excess kWh credit at full retail rate (~$0.21/kWh). Banks at $735–$840 for winter heating.

For smaller East Brunswick systems, this summer-to-winter arbitrage is proportionally more valuable than larger systems — seasonal swing amplifies ROI.

NJ SuSI Lock: $775+/Year Guaranteed on 9 kW East Brunswick System

East Brunswick residents qualify for NJ’s Successor Solar Incentive at $85.90/MWh for 15 years. On a 9 kW system producing ~12,150 kWh/year, this locks $775/year guaranteed income, immune to future JCP&L hikes.

Combined with bill savings ($2,430/year), East Brunswick homeowners achieve $3,205+/year in total protected value — a hedge that compounds as JCP&L rates climb over 25-year lease term.

East Brunswick High-Density Solar FAQs

Smaller lots = smaller homes = 18–22 kWh/day consumption. A 9 kW system produces proportionally more value for smaller consumption than a 12 kW system on larger homes. JCP&L’s rate structure charges higher $/kWh as consumption climbs, so smaller East Brunswick systems are sized optimally to consumption — zero over-sizing, 100% efficiency. Result: 15–20% higher ROI per installed watt vs. sprawling-lot towns.
Lawrence Brook sits on elevated terrain (highest East Brunswick plateau). No flood risk. Our strategy: smaller 9 kW systems + 10–12 kWh battery backup ($12K–$14K) provide 24–36 hour outage protection WITHOUT expensive elevation engineering (like coastal REAL Rule). Cost: 30% lower than Middletown/Stafford. Full SuSI income preserved. Win-win.
Frost Woods property valuations demand premium solar. Only Tier-1 panels (SunPower, Enphase) add 3–5% home value premium ($15K–$25K on typical Frost Woods properties). Standard-grade systems don’t qualify. A 9 kW Tier-1 system costs $3,200–$3,500/watt vs. $2,800 standard — but property value add justifies premium component cost. Luxury positioning.
1–2 weeks typical. Crosspointe has pre-approved solar architectural standards. Process: site plan (2 days) → HOA committee submission (day 3) → committee review (7–10 days) → board ratification (5–7 days). Total: 1–2 weeks. Crosspointe bylaws pre-approve systems meeting setback/aesthetic specs — we meet 100%. 190+ Crosspointe systems, zero rejections.
1:1 retail net metering. A 9 kW system produces 3,500–4,000 kWh excess June–Sept at $0.21/kWh = $735–$840 winter banking. For smaller systems, seasonal swing amplifies proportional ROI. Where a 12 kW system in Howell banks $1,000–$1,250, a 9 kW East Brunswick system achieves $735–$840 on proportionally higher efficiency. Per-watt value = higher.
JCP&L grid: ~$33,500 variable costs over 10 years. Solar by Omar: $6,000 lease + $7,750 SuSI = $13,750 total. Savings: $25,750+. Break-even: 3–4 years. After that, pure profit and rate immunity.
Yes. Battery backup (10–12 kWh): ~$120–$150/month lease add-on. EV charger: ~$100–$120/month. Both integrate seamlessly with 9 kW rooftop. Summer production charges EV at near-zero cost; battery provides 24–36 hour outage backup.
JCP&L historical: 2–3%/year rate climbs. Year 1: $3,200 bill. Year 10: $3,900+ (compounding). Year 25: $5,300+ estimated. Solar locks $600 fixed payment for 25 years. Over 25 years, compounding JCP&L inflation = $85K+ grid costs vs. $15K fixed solar. Solar advantage: $70K+.
