New Jersey’s solar energy rebate program is somewhat fickle, to say the least. In recent months, the state’s Renewable Energy Incentive Program (REIP) has been switched off, then on, then back off again.

If the solar rebate is reduced from current [...]

New Jersey, one of the strongest solar markets in the country, has been troubled by a budget freeze imposed by new Governor Chris Christie. Among the frozen assets are $158 million from the New Jersey’s Clean Energy Fund. If these funds are not released back into operation, the CEF predicts lower solar rebate levels for [...]
