Why Camden Homeowners Go Solar
Camden homeowners served by PSE&G are paying around 26 cents per kWh for electricity, and that number has gone up consistently year over year. For a city where rowhomes and smaller single-family homes dominate the housing stock, solar offers a real path to locking in energy costs and keeping more money in the household.
New Jersey’s SuSI ADI program pays $85 per MWh for 15 years, and 1:1 net metering means every excess kilowatt-hour your system produces gets credited back at full retail rate. New Jersey’s SuSI ADI program, property tax exemption, and sales tax exemption create a structurally stronger incentive stack than Pennsylvania’s, making Camden a compelling market for residential solar.

Residential & Commercial Solar in Camden
From rowhome rooftops in Cramer Hill to flat-roof warehouses on Admiral Wilson Boulevard, Sunwise designs systems for Camden’s real built environment.
Residential Solar
Camden’s housing stock is dominated by brick rowhomes, bungalows, and smaller single-family homes. Sunwise uses premium high-efficiency panels to maximize production on compact roof areas where every square foot matters.
Commercial Solar
Camden’s institutional and commercial base includes warehouse and retail buildings along Broadway, Kaighn Avenue, and Admiral Wilson Boulevard. Business owners can lock in energy costs and capture the 30% federal ITC (available through July 4, 2026) plus accelerated depreciation.
Battery Storage & Roofing
Power outages hit urban areas hard, and Camden is no exception. For homes that need a new roof before panels go up, Sunwise handles both as a single project.
Camden Installation Process
Consultation
A Sunwise Energy Specialist visits your home to assess your roof, review your PSE&G usage history, and calculate projected solar production and savings. We design around your actual energy consumption, not a generic estimate.
Permitting
Solar installations in Camden require permits through the City of Camden’s Bureau of Construction and Building at City Hall on Market Street. Sunwise handles the full permit application, plan submission, and inspection coordination.
Installation
Our in-house crews install your system, typically in under a day for a standard residential project. Every installation uses premium high-efficiency panels and microinverters, and our team manages all electrical work, racking, and wiring to meet NJ code.
Power On
Sunwise coordinates your PSE&G interconnection application and meter swap. Once PSE&G grants Permission to Operate (PTO), your system goes live, producing power, earning net metering credits, and generating SuSI ADI payments.

Frequently Asked Questions in Camden
How much does solar cost in Camden?
Solar cost in Camden depends on your home’s energy usage, roof size, and system complexity, so there is no single price that applies to every home. New Jersey’s incentive stack significantly reduces the net investment: the SuSI ADI program pays $85/MWh for 15 years, PSE&G provides 1:1 net metering, and NJ offers both a property tax exemption and sales tax exemption on solar equipment. $0-down financing is available, meaning many Camden homeowners go solar with no upfront cost. Schedule a free Sunwise consultation for an exact quote based on your home.
How does the City of Camden handle solar permits?
Solar permits in Camden are issued through the City of Camden’s Bureau of Construction and Building at City Hall on Market Street. Both building and electrical permits are required for solar installations. Sunwise handles the entire permit application and inspection process on your behalf, so you don’t need to visit City Hall or manage any paperwork.
Can I install solar on a rowhome in Camden?
Yes, solar is viable on Camden rowhomes. Rowhomes make up the majority of Camden’s housing stock, and the key is using high-efficiency panels to maximize production on a smaller roof area. Sunwise uses premium high-efficiency panels specifically because they deliver more output per square foot, which matters on compact rowhome roofs where every panel counts.
Is commercial solar available for businesses in Camden?
Yes, Camden has significant commercial solar potential on flat-roof warehouse, office, and institutional buildings along corridors like Broadway, Kaighn Avenue, and Admiral Wilson Boulevard. Business owners can take advantage of the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (available through July 4, 2026), accelerated depreciation, and NJ net metering to significantly reduce operating costs. Camden’s Opportunity Zone and Enterprise Zone designations can provide additional financial benefits for commercial projects.
Are there any Camden-specific programs or incentives for solar?
Most Camden rowhomes and smaller single-family homes need between 4 and 8 kW systems, depending on roof area and energy usage. Because Camden is in PSE&G territory at around 26 cents per kWh, even a smaller system generates meaningful savings. A Sunwise consultation includes a full energy usage review and custom system sizing based on your actual home.
