Solar Companies in Delaware

Delaware's mid-Atlantic location provides moderate solar resources with approximately 4.2 peak sun hours daily. The First State has been proactive in supporting residential solar through grant programs, favorable net metering rules, and its Renewable Portfolio Standard requiring 25% renewable energy by 2026.

Delmarva Power, the state's primary electric utility, offers net metering at full retail rates. Delaware's Green Energy Program has provided grants of up to $3,000 for residential solar installations, and the state exempts solar equipment from property taxes. Delaware also does not charge sales tax, which reduces installation costs further.

Wilmington, Dover, and Newark are the main residential solar markets. With electricity rates around $0.14/kWh and solid state incentives layered on top of the federal tax credit, Delaware homeowners can achieve payback periods of 8-11 years.
