Solar vs. Atlantic City Electric: Which Saves You More in South Jersey?
With Atlantic City Electric bills doubling or tripling for many South Jersey homeowners, you might be wondering if there’s a better way to power your home. Should you stick with Atlantic City Electric, or switch to solar with Solar by Omar? Let’s compare the two to see which saves you more.
Cost Comparison
Atlantic City Electric: The current rate is 23.36 cents per kWh, and a 17.2% rate hike is coming in June 2025. For a typical South Jersey home using 1,000 kWh per month, that’s $233.60 now, increasing to $273.80 after the hike. Over a year, you’ll pay $2,803-$3,286, with rates likely to rise further.
Solar by Omar: With our no-cost solar programs, you pay nothing upfront and only for the electricity you use—at a rate 30-50% lower than Atlantic City Electric. That’s $116.80-$163.52 per month, or $1,402-$1,962 per year—a savings of $1,401-$1,884 annually.
