Local Incentives & Regulations
How does current net metering work in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania's net metering policy allows you to bank excess solar energy as credits on your utility bill. For every kilowatt-hour (kWh) your system sends back to the grid, you receive a 1-to-1 credit that offsets the power you pull when the sun isn't shining.
What are SRECs and how can I earn from them?
Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) represent the environmental value of the electricity your system produces. In PA, homeowners who own their system can sell these credits on the open market, providing an ongoing source of passive income for the life of the system.

The Basics
Common Solar Questions
How does solar work?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity that powers your home. Any excess energy can be sent back to the utility grid through net metering.
What happens on cloudy days?
Solar panels still produce electricity on cloudy days, though at a reduced level compared to bright sunny conditions.
Will solar work during a power outage?
Grid-tied solar systems automatically shut down during an outage for utility worker safety. If you need power during an outage, we can design a system with integrated battery storage like the Tesla Powerwall.
Does solar work in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Pennsylvania receives enough sunlight to make solar a worthwhile investment. Solar panels produce electricity year-round, including during winter months.
What happens when it snows?
Most solar panels shed snow naturally as they warm up and the snow melts. Production may temporarily decrease while panels are covered.
