Community Solar is a local energy option that makes solar power available to renters and homeowners with no up-front costs or expensive solar panels. Our local community solar farms in Hamilton, NJ, generate power from the sun and feed it into the PSE&G utility grids.
Community Solar is part of New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program, which is administered by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU). Modern Renewables is one of the Community Solar projects approved by the NJ BPU, which requires that we offer our customers 21% savings on their solar credits. Learn More.
It’s simple. Your PSE&G electric account will be linked to Modern Renewables. They’ll allocate a share of our solar energy to match your electricity usage. This generates solar credits on your utility bill, reducing the amount you owe PSE&G. Then, Modern Renewables will discount those credits by up to 21%.
You’ll continue to receive a bill from PSE&G each month for your electricity costs. As a Modern Renewables member, solar credits will be applied to your electric account, reducing what you owe PSE&G.
Then, you’ll receive a second bill from Modern Renewables for the value of those solar credits, minus your 21% discount.
Nope! Renters and homeowners alike have access to savings with our solar energy; and remember—there will be no disruption to your PSE&G electricity service and no solar panels needed at your residence.
No solar panels are needed at your residence. Provide your PSE&G electric account number and we’ll take care of the rest.
No, it’s free to enroll and you can cancel with 30 days notice for any reason without fees, as required by the BPU.
You’ll save up to 21% on the solar credits applied to your monthly electricity bill.
Nothing. PSE&G remains your electricity provider. The only change you’ll notice is a lower PSE&G electric bill every month.
Yes, you’ll see a credit for renewable energy on your PSE&G bill. Every month you’ll receive a statement from Modern Renewables listing your discounted cost of electricity and how much money you’ve saved each month. The total amount of both bills will always be less than what you’d pay PSE&G without Modern Renewables.
No, we are a community solar developer, which is not the same as a third-party retail energy supplier. Instead, Modern Renewables provides solar electricity to PSE&G and you get a credit for the value of the solar electricity allocated to your utility account.
Community solar is part of the BPU’s program to incentive solar developers to build renewable energy projects in New Jersey and pass the savings on to you!
There is none. PSE&G will continue to be your electric company. You get a discount because our solar power is going into their utility grid. Sign up is easy—it’s free and takes minutes. It’s a win-win for all!
