Delaware Solar Incentives

Delaware still has a real cash grant — rare in the Mid-Atlantic after the federal residential credit expired. Delmarva customers who buy the system can stack up to $10,000 from the Green Energy Program. Taking that grant assigns SRECs to the state; skipping it lets you sell credits instead. We walk the tradeoff in the quote. See the full stack on solar incentives and compare payment paths on financing.

Green Energy Program Grant

The headline Delaware benefit for homeowners who buy.

  • $0.80 per watt, up to $10,000, for eligible Delmarva owned systems
  • Current DNREC schedule effective July 1, 2026
  • Grant or SREC sales — not both. Leases do not qualify
No State Sales Tax

A structural Delaware advantage on day one.

  • 0% on equipment and installation
  • Applies to the whole system, not a special solar exemption form
  • Stacks with the grant and net metering
Net Metering That Pays

Retail-rate credit on every Delaware utility.

  • 1:1 retail credit, 25 kW residential cap
  • You choose the annual true-up month

Delaware Solar FAQs

How much does solar cost in Delaware?

Most 8 kW Delaware homes land around $18,000-$24,300 before incentives. Eligible Delmarva buyers can stack the $0.80/W Green Energy Program grant (up to $10,000 — about $6,400 on 8 kW), and Delaware charges no sales tax. Get a free quote for your roof and utility.

What is the Green Energy Program rebate?

DNREC's current Delmarva schedule (July 1, 2026) pays $0.80 per watt, capped at $10,000, for homeowners who buy a qualifying system. You assign SRECs to the state when you take the grant. Leases and PPAs are excluded. DEC and municipal customers have their own grant paths — we quote the one that matches your bill.

Does Delaware have a state solar tax credit?

No tax credit. The cash grant plus zero sales tax is the Delaware stack. Do not add a 'state tax credit' line to anyone's proposal.

Does Delaware have net metering?

Yes. Residential systems up to 25 kW get full-retail credit. Unused kilowatt-hours roll forward. You choose the true-up month so leftover production is less likely to go unused.

Can I take the grant and still sell SRECs?

Not on the Delmarva Green Energy Program path. The grant requires assigning those credits to the state. If you would rather keep SREC income, we run that comparison in the quote.

Do solar panels increase home value in Delaware?

Owned systems typically help at resale. Delaware also has a statewide solar-rights law (25 Del. C. §318) that blocks HOAs from unreasonably banning rooftop solar. Leased systems transfer through the lease, not as owned equity.

How long does installation take in Delaware?

Crews are typically on the roof 1-3 days. Permits and utility interconnection usually bring the full project in around 8-12 weeks. Grant payment, when awarded, can follow later — we do not treat the rebate check as permission to operate.

Is Aduu licensed in Delaware?

Yes. Aduu Solar Engineering LLC holds Delaware Division of Revenue Resident Contractor license 2026709916 and installs across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex.
