Local Solar Tax Credits in Delaware
Delaware homeowners and businesses can take advantage of one of the most rewarding state programs for renewable energy, the Delaware Green Energy Program. This initiative is supported by the Delaware Energy Office and provides direct financial incentives for solar installations through several local utility partners.
Delmarva Power & Light (DPL) Green Energy Grant
Delmarva Power & Light customers may be eligible for rebates of up to $6,000 toward the cost of solar panel installation. Because funding levels can change as participation increases, homeowners are encouraged to apply early to secure the highest available rebate amount.
Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC) Green Energy Grant
The Delaware Electric Cooperative provides cash incentives based on system size. Homeowners receive $0.50 per watt for the first 5 kW of installed capacity and $0.20 per watt for systems larger than 5 kW. The DEC also offers a 20% rebate on approved solar thermal and fuel cell installations, further reducing the cost of renewable energy adoption.
Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC) Incentive
Residents served by the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation (DEMEC), including those in Newark, DE, can receive $1.00 per watt for the first 5 kW and $0.50 per watt for additional capacity. This local incentive makes solar accessible and affordable for city homeowners.
