New Jersey incentive guide
Review New Jersey solar incentives and related clean-energy programs for homes, businesses and multifamily properties throughout the state.
Verified November 2026; programs and funding can change. Incentives, rebates and tax credits depend on your utility, location, income, equipment, project details and program funding at the time you apply. Quest Solar does not guarantee eligibility or amounts and does not provide tax advice; consult a qualified tax professional about tax credits.
For homeowners
Programs that can reduce the installed price, avoid certain taxes or create ongoing value from the electricity your system produces.
Pays for verified solar production
$77 per SREC-II for residential registrations received on or after July 27, 2026
This is a production incentive—not an upfront rebate. The project must register in an available capacity block and meet program requirements.

Avoids certain state and local taxes
Qualifying system purchases and added property value may be exempt
New Jersey exempts qualifying solar devices and systems from sales tax. A certified renewable-energy system may also receive a limited local property-tax exemption on the value it adds; owners apply with the assessor.

Can improve cash flow
Exemptions and financing vary by project
Qualifying solar systems may receive sales- and property-tax treatment. Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy and other state business programs can help finance eligible projects, but financing is not a rebate.

Heating and cooling
Mini-splits are air-source heat pumps. Rebate eligibility normally depends on the utility account, equipment rating, existing heating system and approved-contractor rules.
Reduces equipment cost
Typically up to $750 per qualifying ducted or ductless unit; enhanced offers may reach $10,000 or 50% of cost
The enhanced cold-climate amount is generally tied to income eligibility. Your electric or gas utility, equipment efficiency and participating-contractor rules determine the actual offer.
