NJ Solar Rebate Changes
The NJ Clean Energy Program changed some of the rules for the solar PV rebate program. The changes can be found HERE.
One small change is how the rebate is figured. The rebate used to be based on the lesser of $5.50 per watt or 70% of the total invoice from the vendor. Now, it’s based on $5.30 per watt. Supposedly, this is intended to foster price competition among installers. For me, based on my installer’s charges, it would have cost me about $900 more – I guess my installer was more expensive than most. I suspect that my installer will eat the decreased rebate rather than lose business.
They also want an “electric bill showing yearly usage”. Now, PSE&G doesn’t produce that. I suppose you could produce two bills a year apart, but the only way I’ve ever gotten yearly usage from PSE&G is via screen prints from their billing system.

They also want a copy of the Completed Interconnection Agreement before they’ll pay the rebate. In my case, the rebate was paid even though PSE&G forgot to sign and return the agreement. I wonder how this works with the new BPU rules that state that the system can be activated if the utility doesn’t reply within 2 weeks.
They’ve also added an inspection charge beyond the first 2 inspections by the state inspector. My installation only required one inspection, but I guess lower quality work might require multiple inspections.
One Year Later
On June 14, 2004 in the late afternoon we turned on our system for good. We haven’t thrown the breakers since.
Tomorrow I’ll give you statistics on energy produced by the system. I believe that the total is about 6,300 kWh. I don’t have numbers on our home’s usage for the year – the first good meter reading after installation was July 2004 (PSE&G botched the June reading), so I’ll come back with more details later.
The system has been completely maintenance free. We do write down the production numbers every night for our interest, but there’s no reason to do so. The system just hums along in the basement when the sun is shining.

The only minor annoyance is that the system disrupts AM radio. We hear what sounds like R2D2 perking away behind the radio station when the system is active. That is not usually a problem – we only listen to AM radio in the morning – but when production is high it does overpower the station sometimes.
We’ve only had one indirect complaint from a neighbor – a co-worker who knows a neighbor reported that they sometimes get sun reflected onto the front of their house in the morning. They haven’t approached us. I suspect that this will get better over time as the glass on the panels gets less smooth (though we’ll lose some power at that point as well).
Would I do it again? YES. No question about it – this helps the environment and saves us electricity costs in the long run. One unexpected savings is in air conditioning – the panels block the morning sun from reaching our attic and therefore our cooling requirements are lessened. For that reason alone, I’d love to put an array on the back of the roof as well.
