Jersey City averages 4.3 peak sun hours a day. A well-oriented kilowatt of panels produces roughly 1,255 kilowatt-hours a year here. A typical 9 kW residential system therefore produces around 11,295 kWh annually. At PSE&G’s rate of ~26¢, that production is worth roughly $2,936 a year before any incentive.
Those are pre-shading numbers. Trees, roof pitch and orientation move them, sometimes a lot, which is why an installer looks at your specific roof rather than quoting from a city average.

New Jersey pairs strong incentives with some of the nation's highest electric rates. The Successor Solar Incentive (SuSI) program lets eligible systems earn SREC-II credits, and New Jersey provides full-retail net metering plus exemptions from sales tax on solar equipment and property tax on the value solar adds. 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 New Jersey, net metering runs through utilities like PSE&G, JCP&L, and Atlantic City Electric. Full detail on our New Jersey solar page, or learn why your bill keeps rising.
