Why Edison Homeowners Are Going Solar in 2026

If you’re a homeowner in Edison, Middlesex County, there’s never been a better time to go solar. Electricity rates from PSE&G have been climbing — the current average is 18.48¢ per kWh, and most Edison households pay around $185/month. That’s money going to the utility with nothing to show for it.

A typical Edison home needs a 10 kW system to offset most electricity usage. Over 25 years, that’s estimated savings of $52,500+ — before the 30% Federal Tax Credit (~$10,500 back).

Edison has a long history of innovation — Thomas Edison pioneered electric power here. Today, Edison Township homeowners continue that legacy by adopting solar at one of the highest rates in Middlesex County. The township’s single-family homes with south-facing roofs make it ideal for solar.
