Delaware Solar Incentives — Complete Guide
Pennsylvania SREC (AEC) Market Access
While Delaware does not operate its own SREC market, Delaware solar owners are eligible to register their systems in Pennsylvania's Alternative Energy Credit (AEC) market.
How It Works
- You can earn AECs for every MWh your system produces
- Sell them to PA utilities and electricity suppliers meeting the Pennsylvania AEPS
- AEC prices fluctuate with market conditions
How to Participate
Venture Home can assist with GATS registration to enable AEC creation for Delaware customers.
No Sales Tax
Delaware has no general state sales tax on any purchases — so solar equipment and installation are automatically free from sales tax.
This is not a solar-specific incentive but represents real upfront savings compared to neighboring states.
Property Tax
Delaware generally does not impose property taxes on personal property, and in practice solar panels installed on residential properties are treated as personal property equipment.
As a result, solar installations in Delaware typically do not increase property taxes, though this can vary by county.
⚠️ Consult your local assessor for your specific situation.
