Why go solar in Delaware
Not only does Delaware ensure you can get net metering, but both large utility companies in the state offer some kind of incentive. Delaware is also one of the few states that offers Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs), another opportunity to get paid for the energy you produce. Right now, may be the perfect time to go solar in Delaware!
Solar incentives in Delaware
Delaware is one of the few states who participate in a Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) program. You can sell your SRECs to participating utilities. This is on top of Delaware’s Net Metering programs that also allow you to sell excess energy to your utility at the retail rate. Delmarva Power is currently offering a Green Energy Grant, $1,000 incentive for qualified customers.
Delaware homeowners are also eligible for the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). The ITC allows you to deduct 26 percent of the cost of installing a solar energy system from your federal taxes.
