Why Elizabeth Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
Elizabeth's energy landscape presents exceptional opportunities for solar adoption. With PSE&G electricity rates among the highest in the nation and New Jersey offering the country's most lucrative solar incentive programs including valuable SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits), homeowners and businesses across Union County are discovering outstanding financial returns from solar energy paired with battery storage for summer storm resilience throughout the NYC metro region.
💰
High New Jersey Energy Costs
PSE&G (Public Service Electric and Gas) residential electricity rates in Elizabeth average 16-18 cents per kWh—among the highest in the nation. Commercial rates average 12-14 cents per kWh plus demand charges. New Jersey electricity costs have increased dramatically over the past decade. Solar systems lock in energy costs for 25+ years while New Jersey's exceptional SREC (Solar Renewable Energy Credit) program provides ongoing revenue—Elizabeth solar owners earn $80-$150 per SREC with typical systems generating 4-6 SRECs annually worth $320-$900 extra income. Combined with Elizabeth's good solar resources (4.5-4.8 peak sun hours daily, 205 sunny days annually, 1,200-1,350 kWh per installed kW), federal 30% Investment Tax Credit, New Jersey property tax exemption, sales tax exemption, and PSE&G net metering at retail rates (16-18 cents/kWh), Elizabeth installations deliver 6-9 year residential and 5-8 year commercial payback periods—among the Northeast's best returns thanks to New Jersey's exceptional solar economics throughout Union County and NYC metro area.

Summer Storms & Grid Reliability
Elizabeth experiences New Jersey's Mid-Atlantic weather patterns including frequent summer thunderstorms, occasional tropical storm remnants, heat waves, and winter weather events that periodically disrupt PSE&G power across Union County. Battery storage systems provide essential backup for home comfort, medical equipment, and business continuity during outages. Average Elizabeth home experiences 2-4 power outages annually lasting 2-8 hours each—battery systems bridge these gaps seamlessly during severe weather. Summer thunderstorms with lightning and high winds threaten reliability during peak cooling season when air conditioning represents 35-45% of annual energy consumption. Battery backup maintains life-safety cooling during hot, humid summer outages when temperatures exceed 90°F, medical equipment, refrigeration, and essential circuits—critical for Union County residents requiring backup power resilience throughout NYC metro area's humid subtropical climate with frequent summer severe weather throughout Northern New Jersey.
