One of the goals of the state's comprehensive Energy Master Plan is to supply 30 percent of New Jersey’s electric needs from renewable energy sources by 2020.  To do this, we need to invest in innovative clean energy technologies and businesses to stimulate growth and continue to build a green collar workforce in New Jersey.

New Jersey’s Renewable Energy Manufacturing Incentive (REMI) program provides incentives to New Jersey residential, businesses, local governments, and non-profits that purchase and install solar panels, inverters, and racking systems manufactured in New Jersey.

To become a certified New Jersey manufacturer under this program, companies must supply products manufactured with at least 50 percent of the product cost – including the labor, overhead, components, and raw materials – from facilities located in New Jersey.  Products must also comply with applicable Underwriters Laboratory standards and be commercially available to the public.  A yearly manufacturing audit will be performed to ensure continued manufacturing compliance.  Learn more about eligibility requirements and complete the Manufacturing Cost worksheet.

Organizations awarded a grant under the New Jersey Economic Development Authority's (EDA) Clean Energy Manufacturing Fund (CEMF) are automatically certified as a New Jersey manufacturer.
