Why New Jersey property owners are turning to community solar
The Garden State has become one of the nation’s leaders in clean energy policy. With the recent 2025 New Jersey community solar expansion, property owners can generate predictable income streams from unused rooftop space while contributing to the state’s carbon reduction goals.
Benefits of commercial rooftop solar leasing in New Jersey
New Jersey commercial property owners can earn guaranteed rental income of $3–$7 per square foot annually by leasing their rooftops for solar. Adding solar doesn’t just generate steady revenue—it can also increase property values by 4–10%.
With no upfront cost, solar developers cover all equipment, installation, and long-term maintenance. Tenants benefit too, as community solar credits lower energy bills and improve satisfaction.
For landlords focused on ESG, rooftop solar helps meet sustainability requirements and attract green-minded tenants. And with NJ-specific solar incentives like SRECs, returns are even stronger.
