Residential & Commercial Solar in Gloucester County
From Washington Township colonials to Woolwich new builds to Route 322 warehouses, Sunwise designs systems for Gloucester County’s built environment.
Residential Solar
Gloucester County’s housing stock includes established colonials and ranches in Washington Township, Mantua, and Deptford, Victorian-era homes in Woodbury and Pitman, and newer construction in Woolwich, Harrison, and Monroe townships. Sunwise uses premium panels and microinverters and handles permitting across all 24 municipalities.
Commercial Solar
Gloucester County has become a logistics and warehouse hub, with large flat-roof distribution facilities along Route 322, I-295, and the NJ Turnpike corridor. The 30% federal ITC (available through July 4, 2026), MACRS depreciation, and NJ SuSI ADI payments make commercial solar a high-return investment.
Battery Storage & Roofing
Summer storms and grid stress create outage risk, and a grid-tied solar system shuts down during outages by default. A battery keeps critical systems running. For homes needing a new roof, Sunwise bundles both into a single project.
Gloucester County Installation Process
Consultation
A Sunwise Energy Specialist assesses your roof, reviews your PSE&G or ACE usage, and models projected production and savings based on your actual energy consumption.

Gloucester County has 24 separate municipal permitting authorities. Whether you’re in Washington Township, Deptford, Glassboro, or Woolwich, Sunwise manages the full application from submission through approval.

Sunwise Energy installs solar across all 24 municipalities in Gloucester County. Whether you're in an established township or one of the county's fast-growing communities, our team knows the local permitting, utilities, and housing stock.
Washington Township
The largest municipality in Gloucester County with nearly 49,000 residents. Washington Township's housing includes colonials, ranches, split-levels, and newer construction across neighborhoods like Sewell and Turnersville. Both PSE&G and ACE serve portions of the township.
Deptford Township
A major retail and commercial hub along Route 41 and Almonesson Road, Deptford also has substantial residential areas with a mix of established homes and newer subdivisions. Strong commercial solar potential on the township's large retail and industrial buildings.
Monroe Township & Williamstown
A growing residential community in the eastern portion of the county, Monroe features a mix of established homes, newer developments, and rural properties. Larger lots and open exposure create strong solar conditions.
Woolwich Township & Swedesboro
Woolwich is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in New Jersey, with newer residential construction that is ideal for solar. Clean roof lines, modern electrical panels, and minimal shading make these homes straightforward to design and install.
Glassboro & Pitman
College-town energy (Rowan University) and classic South Jersey borough character define this area. Glassboro's mix of older homes and newer student housing creates varied solar opportunities. Pitman's tree-lined streets require shade analysis, but many homes have strong potential.
Harrison Township & Mullica Hill
One of the county's more affluent and rural communities, Harrison Township features larger homes on spacious lots with excellent solar exposure. The historic village of Mullica Hill anchors the area.
Woodbury, West Deptford & Delaware River Communities
Woodbury is the county seat with an older, walkable downtown and compact housing stock. West Deptford, Paulsboro, and National Park line the Delaware River and include a mix of residential neighborhoods and industrial waterfront.

Frequently Asked Questions in Gloucester County
What utilities serve Gloucester County and what are current rates?
Gloucester County is served by PSE&G (~26¢/kWh all-in) and Atlantic City Electric (~27-30¢/kWh all-in), depending on your municipality. Both utilities have seen significant rate increases, and further adjustments are expected through 2026. Sunwise will confirm your utility and model your specific savings during consultation.
What solar incentives are available in Gloucester County?
Gloucester County homeowners can access four key New Jersey solar incentives: the SuSI ADI program ($85/MWh for 15 years), a 100% property tax exemption on solar value added to your home, a full sales tax exemption on solar equipment, and 1:1 net metering from PSE&G or ACE. New Jersey’s SuSI ADI program, property tax exemption, and sales tax exemption create a structurally stronger incentive stack than neighboring Pennsylvania’s, making Gloucester County one of the best markets for residential solar in the region.
How does solar permitting work across Gloucester County?
Each of Gloucester County’s 24 municipalities handles its own building and electrical permits independently, so requirements, fees, and timelines vary from Washington Township to Woolwich. Sunwise manages the full permitting process for every municipality in the county.
Is solar a good fit for newer construction in Gloucester County's growing townships?
Yes, newer construction homes are among the best solar candidates in Gloucester County. Woolwich Township, Harrison Township, and Monroe Township are some of the fastest-growing municipalities in New Jersey, and their homes typically have favorable roof angles, modern electrical panels, and minimal shading. All of these factors simplify solar installation and improve production. Sunwise designs systems to match your home’s actual energy consumption.
Is commercial solar available for Gloucester County businesses?
Yes, Gloucester County has become an East Coast epicenter for logistics and warehouse construction, with major distribution facilities along the Route 322 and I-295 corridors.
