solar systems in delaware
Going solar gives you control over your energy for decades.
Solar panels will give you access to clean energy and help you reduce your grid dependence and carbon footprint.
By installing a rooftop or ground mount solar system in your Delaware home or business, you can shield yourself from rising energy costs, boost your property’s value and save thousands in electricity over 25 to 35 years.
Rooftop Solar in Delaware
Electricity prices are rising nationwide while solar panels are about 50% cheaper and 40% more efficient than in 2010. Switching to solar energy will help you save on electricity and contribute to a healthier, more sustainable future for your community. Here is why going solar in Delaware in 2025 is the right option for your energy needs:
Net Metering
Net metering is a billing system designed to benefit solar energy owners by providing credits for any surplus solar energy they send back to the grid.
With net metering, every kilowatt-hour of excess energy you contribute to the grid earns you valuable credits. These credits not only offset your electric costs, but also cover both delivery and supply charges for each kilowatt-hour.

30% Federal Tax Credit
The federal tax credit that allows you to claim 30 percent of your system’s cost, helping you lower your federal income tax return for the year. For instance, if your system costs $20,000, you could receive a tax credit of $6,000. Keep in mind that this tax credit may disappear after 2025 if the Senate decides to discontinue it!
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs)
A SREC is a financial incentive that helps homeowners earn money from the sale of extra energy produced by their rooftop panels. They can earn 1 SREC for every 1 MWh or 1000 kWH of electricity their solar system generates.
The Delaware Green Energy Program
The Delaware Green Energy Program provides homeowners with rebates to help them reduce their installation costs for renewable energy tools (including solar panels)!
Under this initiative, the following rates are offered to customers of these utilities:
– Delmarva Power– $0.70/watt ($6000 maximum)
– The Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC)-$0.50/watt for the first 5 KW and $0.20/watt for each additional kilowatt.
– Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC)– $1 per watt for the first 5 KW and $0.50 for each additional kilowatt installed (only available to Newark residents).
Equipment Warranties
Warranties for panels typically cover 25 years and come with power performance warrantees! Inverters come with 15-25 year warranties, and our installers guarantee their work and provide roof penetration warranties of 5-10 years.
If you choose a lease agreement versus a purchase agreement, everything is guaranteed for the lifetime of the 25 year lease, including maintenance, insurance and performance (at the cost of lower lifetime savings).
