Going Solar and Staying Connected

When you choose to install solar panels in New Jersey, you stay connected to the electric grid. Staying connected to the grid means that if, for any reason, your home solar system can’t produce the energy you need during the day, like on a stormy day, you can continue using your devices and appliances as you normally do.

But there’s a bright side to this, see, with the New Jersey’s net metering (NEM) program, every time your panels create more solar energy than you need, the excess is sent back to the grid, and you get a credit to use on your next billing cycle.¹ With NEM, you make the most of your home solar system because you’re never leaving energy on the table.
