Breaking Down a Jersey Electric Bill
57% is hidden fees and charges!
Delivery Charges...
Random, confusing charges like the “customer charge” and “energy efficiency charge” make up 57% of your bill. Here are a couple key ones explained.
Distribution
Helps to support and maintain the poles, wires, and other infrastructure that gets the power from the main line to your home—makes 27% of your bill
Transmission
What the electric company charges you for transporting power from the supply source to local towers and lines—makes 13% of your bill
Finally—Actual Supply
And at last, we have the actual energy you’re buying. After all the other charges, supply only makes up 43% of your bill.
Solar Eliminates All These Charges
When you go solar, you no longer rely on the utility company to produce electricity—and no longer have to pay their ridiculous charges. Instead, you produce your own power with a low, locked-in solar rate.
Pennsylvania Solar Incentives and Rebates
The keystone state has some of the best solar incentives and state-funded programs around.
With the enactment of the “Big Beautiful Bill” on July 4, 2025, the solar tax credit has changed. Now, instead of homeowners having to qualify for and claim the federal tax credit themselves, the savings are automatically applied through solar leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs).
This means everyone can benefit from the value of the credit without extra steps or stipulations — the savings are built right into your plan. The result is lower monthly payments and a more affordable way to enjoy clean, reliable solar energy.
Homeowners in Pennsylvania don’t just save on bills with solar—they actually get paid for the electricity they produce. Every 1,000 kwH of electricity your system produces earns an SREC, which you can then sell for cash (about $50 each) to electric companies.
Certain parts of Pennsylvania are in special energy communities which qualify for an additional 10% tax credit bonus. These areas typically were invested in fossil fuels, and are now heavily incentivized to move towards a clean energy future with solar.
In Pennsylvania, when your solar panels generate more energy than you use, you earn a credit on your utility bill. You can use that credit later when your system isn’t producing as much, helping to power your home without needing to install batteries.
How to Claim the PA Solar Energy Incentives

Can you get free solar panels in Pennsylvania?
While you can’t technically get “free” solar panels anywhere, they are “free” in the sense that you can expect to pay less for solar than you already do for electricity — and it costs nothing to make the switch.
So you’re swapping out an unpredictable and constantly increasing electric bill for a price protected solar payment that is usually about 35% lower. While it isn’t exactly “free”, it’s about as close as it gets.
