Solar systems in Pennsylvania
Own a power plant and produce free electricity for decades.
With solar panels for your home, you can protect your household from unpredictable energy prices and help reduce your carbon footprint.
Owning a rooftop or ground mount solar system in Pennsylvania will boost your home’s value and give you full ownership over your electricity production, saving you thousands with solar over 25 to 35 years!
Did you know – in some states, you can get paid for your solar energy through SRECs!
Rooftop Solar in Pennsylvania
Solar panels are about 50% cheaper and 40% more efficient than in 2010, while electricity prices and the cost to deliver electricity has surged, which is why so many more of your neighbors are going solar! With all the following incentives, here is why going solar has never been easier for Pennsylvania homeowners in 2025:

Net Metering
Net metering is a billing system designed to benefit solar energy owners by providing credits for any surplus solar energy they send back to the grid.
Imagine enjoying the energy you generate on sunny summer days while using those credits to power your home during the winter months or any time your system produces less energy than you need.
With net metering, every kilowatt-hour of excess energy you contribute to the grid earns you valuable credits. These credits not only offset your electric costs, but also cover both delivery and supply charges for each kilowatt-hour.

Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs)
A SREC is a financial incentive that helps homeowners earn money from the sale of extra energy produced by their rooftop panels. They can earn 1 SREC for every 1 MWh or 1000 kWH of electricity their solar system generates.
For example, if a homeowner in Pennsylvania has a system that generates 6 MWh (6,000 kWh) in a year and SRECs in that state sell for around $31, they could earn 6x $31= $186 per year!

PECO Rebate
If you reside in PECO’s service territory (ie. Philadelphia) you are eligible for a $500 rebate from PECO once the system is connected to their grid!
Other Local Incentives
The Solar Panel Incentive Program * from the City of Philadelphia offers a $0.20/watt rebate for new systems. If you install a 6kW system, that would get you a $1200 rebate. (* Currently closed but accepting applicants to be placed on a waiting list and funds will be distributed once the funding restarts in the order applications are received)
Check with your municipality and local utility to see if there are any additional incentives such as:
- Property tax exemptions
- Low income energy efficiency incentives
- Municipal rebates for solar, electric vehicles, main panel upgrades or batteries
Equipment Warranties
Warranties for panels typically cover 25 years and come with power performance warrantees! Inverters come with 15-25 year warranties, and our installers guarantee their work and provide roof penetration warranties of 5-10 years.
If you choose a lease agreement versus a purchase agreement, everything is guaranteed for the lifetime of the 25 year lease, including maintenance, insurance and performance (at the cost of lower lifetime savings).
What does this mean for you?
A home renovation that puts money back in your pocket over time, increases the value of your home with the help of the federal and state incentives, and provides clean energy for us while reducing your carbon footprint by 2.5+ tons of carbon dioxide annually! Check out this case study on a recent install we did, on a flat roof home in the Millbrook section of Philadelphia. Going solar for this customer will result in a payback period of about 6 to 6.5 years.
