Why North Jersey Is a Strong Solar Market

Highest electricity rates in NJ — strongest solar ROI per kWh
PSE&G territory: efficient interconnection and established net metering process
Dense suburban counties (Bergen, Essex, Union) with high homeownership rates
Affluent communities in Montclair, Ridgewood, Summit, and Livingston are top solar adopters
High property values mean solar adds meaningful resale value
