Pennsylvania receives about 4 peak sun hours per day on average — comparable to Germany, which is the world leader in solar adoption. South-facing roofs and modest shading produce strong results year-round, with peak production April through September.
Pennsylvania offers net metering for residential solar (you get bill credits for excess production), AEPS (Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards) SREC sales, and pairs with Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) financing for $0-down installation. The state also has a Sales Tax Exemption on solar equipment.
Most sites won’t show you a number. Here is what each Pennsylvania utility charges all-in — supply plus delivery plus riders, not the supply rate on its own. That is the figure solar has to beat.
| Utility | All-in rate | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| PPL Electric Utilities | 19.2¢ | Price to Compare 13.147¢, reset June 1 2026 |
| PECO | 20.0¢ | Price to Compare resets quarterly |
| Duquesne Light | 23.1¢ | Highest all-in rate in the state |
| Met-Ed | 19.0¢ | PTC 13.951¢, up 7.6% June 1 2026 |
| Penelec | 21.1¢ | PTC 13.142¢, up 11.9% June 1 2026 — largest PA increase |
| West Penn Power | ~19¢ | PTC 12.075¢, up 10.3% June 1 2026 |
| Penn Power | ~20¢ | PTC 13.477¢, up 6.9% June 1 2026 |
Every Pennsylvania utility buys wholesale power through PJM, which is why rates rose together on June 1 rather than one utility at a time. Pennsylvania offers 1:1 retail net metering, so your utility rate is also the value of every kilowatt-hour your roof exports.
Rates as published August 2026, drawn from Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission filings, utility tariffs, PJM market data and U.S. Energy Information Administration figures. Utilities reset on their own schedules — check your own bill for the rate on your account.
Net metering rules, interconnection requirements, and rebate availability vary by utility. Our installer network in Pennsylvania works with all major providers:
The 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit under Section 25D ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025. If you buy a system with cash or a loan in 2026, you cannot claim it. Any site still advertising a 30% federal credit for a homeowner purchase is running outdated information.
What remains is Section 48E, the commercial investment credit. It applies to third-party-owned systems — leases and power purchase agreements — where the system owner claims it rather than the homeowner. That is precisely what makes $0-down possible.
EnergyPros does not provide tax advice — confirm your situation with a tax professional.
Pennsylvania's mix of housing stock — from 100+ year-old urban rowhomes to suburban ranches — means roof condition varies dramatically. We typically recommend a roof assessment before solar to ensure the panels last the full 25-30 year warranty period.

For most homeowners in Pennsylvania, going solar locks in lower, more predictable power and helps offset rising Pennsylvania utility rates. Actual savings depend on your roof, energy usage, and utility — a free, no-obligation estimate shows your specific numbers.
Pennsylvania offers net metering, and may offer state incentives or tax exemptions for going solar. Programs and eligibility vary by utility and change over time — consult a licensed tax professional.
