Three verified installers cover Camden, two based in the county and one 3 miles across the Ben Franklin Bridge. The Camden-specific truth: New Jersey still pays real money for solar, PSE&G credits your exports at full retail and the state’s SuSI program adds income per unit of production, but older city roofs decide whether a quote is honest. The paperwork is generous here; the roof survey has to be serious.
Camden gets skipped by the door-knock circuit that blankets its suburbs, which is backwards: the same New Jersey incentives that make Cherry Hill quotes work apply on every block of the county seat, and the installers that serve the county are minutes away. What changes in the city is the housing: rowhomes, duplexes and roofs that have seen a few decades, where attachment work and roof condition deserve more attention than the sales pitch usually gives them. These 3 companies cleared our checks, with the county’s own installers leading.
What Camden Homeowners Actually Collect: Credits Plus SuSI
- PSE&G credits exports at full retail. New Jersey net metering keeps the meter math simple and favors owning the system. The one PSE&G-specific mechanic worth having in writing is how any year-end surplus settles.
- SuSI pays on production. The state’s solar incentive program issues payments per unit of electricity your system generates, on top of bill savings. Enrollment runs through your installer, so the proposal should show the current program terms with a date, and the payback math with SuSI stripped out as the stress test.
- The price anchor is $2.92 per watt. New Jersey’s competitive installed price per the EcoGen Solar Cost Index puts a 7 kW system near $20,400 before incentives. Older-roof work can add honest line items; with the federal residential credit ended for installations completed after December 31, 2025, the state layers plus a fair price carry the case.
The Camden Bench Comes From Both Sides of the River
EMT Solar & Roofing
The county pick with the right second trade: based on Hollywood Avenue in Cherry Hill, in Camden County itself, with its home improvement registration 13VH10238500 and electrical licence 34EB01565500 printed on its own site. Solar plus roofing under one roof matters on Camden’s older housing, where the honest answer is sometimes a re-roof first; its GAF Master Elite standing backs that side of the work.
Impact Solar
The disclosure standard-setter: an 11-year New Jersey installer that names Camden County in its stated 15-county coverage and prints three credentials on its site, home improvement registration 13VH08519600, electrical business permit 34EB017770300 and a NABCEP installation professional certification. Ask for its most recent city-of-Camden addresses to turn county coverage into block-level proof.
Solar States
The cross-river option: a Certified B Corp headquartered in Philadelphia since 2008, closer to downtown Camden than most of the county’s own suburbs, with its New Jersey registration 13VH07951800 printed alongside its Pennsylvania licence. Two decades of rowhome and flat-roof work travels well across this particular river; confirm its recent New Jersey installs and who handles your permit.

Frequently Asked Questions
EMT Solar & Roofing, Impact Solar and Solar States make up our vetted Camden network for 2026. EMT leads from Cherry Hill in Camden County itself, with its registration and electrical licence printed on its own site and roofing capability that matters on the city’s older housing.
New Jersey’s competitive installed price is $2.92 per watt before incentives, per the EcoGen Solar Cost Index, which puts a 7 kW system near $20,400. Full retail crediting and the state’s production incentive then work that number down over time.
SuSI pays a set amount per unit of electricity your system produces, on top of your bill savings, with enrollment handled through your installer. Terms are set by the state and evolve, so insist on the current terms, dated, inside your proposal.
Yes, exports are credited at the full retail rate under New Jersey net metering, which strongly favors owning your system. Get the year-end surplus treatment in writing, since that is the one detail proposals leave vague.
Usually yes, and the deciding factor is the roof itself: age, decking and attachment method matter more than the panel brand. Favor bidders who inspect and photograph before pricing, and treat an honest re-roof recommendation as a point in their favor.
