Detailed Profile

Sun Up Zero Down has built one of the larger residential solar practices on the southern Jersey Shore since founding in 2013, and the trajectory has been deliberate rather than explosive. Headquartered at 6105 West Jersey Avenue in Egg Harbor Township, the company operates under New Jersey Electrical License #34EB01555500 and Home Improvement Contractor License #13VH07927500, with a service area that covers New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the surrounding region. The team reports more than 50 years of combined industry experience and has installed thousands of solar systems for residential and commercial clients across the state.

What stood out to our research team is the structural decision to keep installation in-house. Unlike many of the higher-volume firms operating in New Jersey, Sun Up Zero Down does not subcontract its installation work — a choice confirmed in third-party reviews and on their own company page. The engineer on staff holds NABCEP certification, and the construction foreman has been actively installing solar since the inception of the New Jersey Clean Energy Program, giving the team firsthand familiarity with the state's specific incentive workflow and SREC II registration process.

The numbers behind their customer satisfaction reinforce that operational choice. Sun Up Zero Down maintains a 4.9-star Google rating across 249 reviews and has been BBB-accredited since May 2025 with an A-plus rating. The company has received three Gold Medal awards in the 'Best of the Press' regional competition and earned recognition on the INC 5000 list of fastest-growing companies in the United States. Customer testimonials repeatedly note professionalism across the sales, coordination, installation, and tree-removal phases — a level of polish that is harder to achieve when crews change between projects.

Prospective customers should know the scope and limits. Sun Up Zero Down concentrates on residential rooftop and small-commercial work primarily across South Jersey and the Atlantic County corridor, with extension into PSE&G and Atlantic City Electric territory. Homeowners in northern New Jersey should confirm coverage before scheduling. The company offers cash, loan, and PPA-style financing structures matched to system size.

With a composite score of 78.6 out of 100, Sun Up Zero Down holds the second-ranked position in New Jersey for 2026.
