Solar Energy Incentives . . .
Many states as well as the Federal Government offer incentives and tax breaks for the installation, maintenance and use of solar energy systems.

The most attractive incentive however are the pay-backs that home owners and commercial businesses receive from utility companies.

A rebate received by a homeowner in a residential context usually does not have to be reported as income to the federal government when the rebate is received from the local utility. 

Solar system and system components are exempt from New Jersey sales tax and are exempt from NJ property tax assessments as well.
