|---|---|---|
| Delmarva Power | supply 12.09¢ | Serves most of Delaware |
| City of Dover Electric | municipal | Dover runs its own municipal utility |
Delaware is one of roughly eight states with an active SREC market. Certificates belong to whoever owns the panels, so under a lease or power purchase agreement the system owner keeps that income rather than the homeowner.
Rates as published August 2026, drawn from Delaware Public Service Commission filings, utility tariffs, PJM market data and U.S. Energy Information Administration figures. Utilities reset on their own schedules — check your own bill for the rate on your account.
Delaware's Green Energy Program has historically provided grants for residential solar, the state has an active SREC market, and net metering is available through utilities like Delmarva Power and Delaware Electric Cooperative.
Net metering credits you for the surplus solar power your system sends to the grid: when your panels make more than you use, you bank a credit; at night you draw it back — for a lower, more predictable monthly bill.
In Delaware, net metering is offered through utilities like Delmarva Power and Delaware Electric Cooperative. Learn why your electric bill keeps rising →

Your system earns one certificate per megawatt-hour generated, sold to entities with renewable portfolio obligations. As in every SREC state, the certificates belong to whoever owns the panels — under a lease or PPA that is the system owner rather than the homeowner.
Delaware also offers net metering through Delmarva Power, crediting exported generation against what you use.
Program terms and SREC procurement are revised periodically and published figures go stale quickly. We would rather point you at the source than quote a number that may have changed — check the Delaware Division of Energy and Climate for current terms, and ask any installer to show you where their numbers come from.

The 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit under Section 25D ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025. If you buy a system with cash or a loan in 2026, you cannot claim it. Any site still advertising a 30% federal credit for a homeowner purchase is running outdated information.
What remains is Section 48E, the commercial investment credit. It applies to third-party-owned systems — leases and power purchase agreements — where the system owner claims it rather than the homeowner. That is precisely what makes $0-down possible: the credit stays with whoever owns the equipment.
We would rather tell you that plainly than let you find out at tax time. EnergyPros does not provide tax advice — confirm your situation with a tax professional.
