Solar Services in Burlington County

Residential, commercial, and battery storage solutions designed for Burlington County’s housing market and energy landscape.

Burlington County’s housing stock is dominated by detached single-family homes, from the large colonials and newer construction in Moorestown and Medford to the mid-century ranches and split-levels in Willingboro, Maple Shade, and Mount Holly. These homes typically feature strong roof exposure and support systems sized to offset most or all of a household’s PSE&G bill.

Burlington County’s commercial landscape includes the Route 38 and Route 73 retail corridors, the Moorestown and Mount Laurel corporate campuses, distribution centers along the NJ Turnpike, and industrial facilities in Florence and Burlington Township. Business owners can take advantage of the federal Investment Tax Credit (available through July 4, 2026), accelerated depreciation, NJ SuSI payments, and net metering.

South Jersey sees its share of severe weather, from summer thunderstorms to winter nor’easters that can knock out PSE&G service for days. If your roof needs replacement before solar can be installed, Sunwise offers a bundled roof-and-solar installation that saves time and money compared to handling them separately.

Why Go Solar in Burlington County?

PSE&G serves the majority of Burlington County, and residential customers are paying around 26 cents per kWh, a number that has increased steadily year over year and shows no sign of slowing. New Jersey’s solar incentive stack turns those high bills into a compelling investment case: the SuSI ADI program pays $85 per MWh for 15 years of production, 1:1 net metering with PSE&G credits every excess kilowatt-hour at the full retail rate, solar equipment is exempt from NJ sales tax, and the value solar adds to your home is 100 percent exempt from property taxes. For business owners, the federal Investment Tax Credit remains available through July 4, 2026.

Burlington County Installation Process

Consultation

A Sunwise Energy Specialist evaluates your home’s energy usage, roof condition, and sun exposure. We review your PSE&G billing history to design a system sized to your actual consumption and walk you through projected savings, SuSI ADI income, and net metering credits.

Design & Permits

We create a custom system design and handle all permitting. Burlington County’s 40 municipalities each manage their own building and electrical permits. Sunwise coordinates every submission and inspection so you don’t have to.

Installation

Our in-house crews handle the full installation, typically completing residential systems in less than a day. Every system uses premium panels and microinverters for maximum long-term production and reliability.

Power On

Sunwise coordinates your utility interconnection application and meter swap with PSE&G. Once PSE&G grants Permission to Operate, your system goes live. We activate your monitoring so you can track production in real time.

Serving Every Community in Burlington County

Sunwise Energy installs solar across all 40 municipalities in Burlington County. Whether you're in the established western suburbs along the Delaware River, the growing central townships, or the more rural areas near the Pine Barrens, our team knows the local permitting process, housing stock, and utility landscape. Our Cherry Hill headquarters borders Burlington County directly, making this one of our closest service areas.

Mount Laurel

One of Burlington County's most populated townships, Mount Laurel features a mix of established single-family neighborhoods, newer developments, and a significant commercial base along Route 73 and the NJ Turnpike corridor. Both residential and commercial solar opportunities are strong here.

Moorestown

Consistently ranked among the best places to live in New Jersey, Moorestown features tree-lined streets, larger colonial and contemporary homes, and high energy consumption that translates to strong solar economics. Shade analysis is important in Moorestown's mature neighborhoods, but homes that clear the assessment support larger systems with fast payback.

Evesham Township (Marlton)

Burlington County's most populous municipality, with nearly 47,000 residents. Marlton's suburban developments from the 1970s through 2000s feature large south-facing roof areas with minimal shading, making it an ideal market for residential solar.

Cinnaminson

A Delaware River community directly adjacent to our Cherry Hill headquarters. Cinnaminson's single-family neighborhoods offer strong solar potential, and proximity to our office means some of the fastest response times in our service area.

Maple Shade

A compact township bordering Camden County. Maple Shade's mix of ranches, split-levels, and Cape Cods are well suited for standard residential solar installations. Higher density and smaller lots benefit from high-efficiency panel layouts.

Medford & Medford Lakes

Suburban communities in the central part of the county with a mix of established developments and newer construction. Larger lots and fewer shading constraints create excellent solar conditions, especially in Medford's newer neighborhoods.

Willingboro

A planned community built in the 1950s and 60s. Willingboro's housing stock of ranches and split-levels features consistent roof lines well suited for solar. Rising PSE&G rates make solar increasingly attractive for Willingboro homeowners looking to lock in energy costs.

Mount Holly

The Burlington County seat, with a mix of historic borough homes and surrounding township development. Mount Holly's proximity to major employers and transportation corridors makes it a strong candidate for both residential and commercial solar.

Bordentown, Florence & Northern Burlington

The northern part of the county features a mix of historic boroughs, growing suburban townships, and Delaware River communities. Florence's industrial and residential mix, Bordentown's historic charm, and the surrounding townships all offer solar opportunity.

Pemberton, Southampton & Eastern Burlington

The eastern portion of the county transitions from suburban to more rural character, with larger properties, fewer shading constraints, and excellent solar exposure. Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst occupies a large area in this part of the county, and surrounding residential communities are well suited for solar.

Lumberton, Hainesport & Eastampton

Growing townships in the heart of the county with newer residential construction and excellent roof exposure. These communities represent some of Burlington County's fastest-growing solar markets.

We also provide solar installation throughout the broader New Jersey service area. → View all NJ locations

Frequently Asked Questions in Burlington

The cost of a solar system in Burlington County depends on your home’s energy usage, roof size, layout, and complexity, so there is no single price. New Jersey’s incentive stack significantly reduces the effective cost: the SuSI ADI program pays $85 per MWh for 15 years, PSE&G provides 1:1 net metering, and NJ offers both a property tax exemption and full sales tax exemption on solar equipment. $0-down financing, lease, and PPA options make solar accessible without upfront investment. Commercial property owners can also take advantage of the federal Investment Tax Credit through July 4, 2026. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule a free consultation with a Sunwise Energy Specialist.

PSE&G serves the majority of Burlington County and provides 1:1 retail-rate net metering for all solar customers, with rates currently averaging around 26 cents per kWh. Served municipalities include Mount Laurel, Moorestown, Evesham, Cinnaminson, Maple Shade, Medford, Willingboro, and Mount Holly. When your system produces more than you use, excess energy is credited at the full retail rate on your bill. Credits roll forward month to month and are reconciled annually.

Burlington County homeowners can access four key New Jersey solar incentives: the SuSI ADI program ($85/MWh for 15 years), 100 percent property tax exemption on added home value, full sales tax exemption on solar equipment, and 1:1 retail-rate net metering from PSE&G. This incentive stack is structurally stronger than neighboring Pennsylvania’s, which lacks both property tax and sales tax exemptions for solar. The federal residential tax credit is no longer available to homeowners. Business owners can claim the federal Investment Tax Credit (Section 48E) through July 4, 2026.

Solar installations in Burlington County require building and electrical permits managed at the municipal level, with 40 municipalities each handling their own construction office. Requirements and timelines vary between Mount Laurel, Moorestown, Evesham, Medford, Cinnaminson, and other townships and boroughs. Sunwise handles all permit applications, inspections, and coordination with local building departments on your behalf.

Yes, Burlington County is one of the strongest residential solar markets in New Jersey thanks to its combination of large single-family home rooftops, PSE&G rates at 26 cents per kWh, and the full NJ incentive stack. Burlington County is the largest county in New Jersey by land area, and its western and central municipalities feature detached single-family homes with large roof areas, minimal shading, and high homeownership rates.

Most residential solar systems near Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst install without issue, though homes in close proximity to flight paths may have height or reflectivity considerations. The base occupies a large area in the central part of Burlington County. In practice, surrounding townships like Pemberton, Springfield, and North Hanover have active residential solar installations. Sunwise evaluates any potential restrictions during your consultation and handles all coordination with local authorities.
