Pennsylvania’s Top-Rated Solar Installer
If you’re a PA homeowner, you already know the frustration of high electric bills. Rates in Pennsylvania have been climbing steadily, and they’re not slowing down anytime soon. That’s exactly why hundreds of families across the state have partnered with National Renewable Energy Partners to take back control of their energy costs.
Our experienced crew has installed high-performance systems on every kind of home you can think of — row houses in Philadelphia, farmhouses in Lancaster County, split-levels in the Pittsburgh suburbs. We live and work in these same communities, so we know firsthand how PA’s weather, building codes, and utility rules affect your project.
Custom Systems for PA Homes and Businesses
Pennsylvania families pay more for electricity than the national average. As of early 2026, residential rates hover around 18–20¢ per kWh depending on your utility, compared to the national average of about 18¢. That gap means PA homeowners have even more to gain by switching to panels that generate power right from their own roof.
If you run a business, farm, or manufacturing operation in Pennsylvania, we design larger commercial systems too. Just reach out and we’ll walk you through how it works for your specific property.

Why PA Families Choose NREP
When you’re looking for a reliable solar company in Pennsylvania, the difference really comes down to the details. Here’s why so many of our customers tell their neighbors about us:
Systems Designed Around Your Home
Every house is different. Your roof faces a certain direction. You’ve got trees in certain spots. You use more power at certain times. Our design team looks at all of that — sun exposure, roof angle, shade patterns, local weather — and builds a system that will produce the most energy your property can handle, even during the gray winter months PA is known for.
Panels Built for Northeast Weather
We pick equipment that holds up in real-world PA conditions — not just sunny test labs. That means panels and inverters rated for temperature swings, humidity, and snow. The result is faster payback for you and more savings over the life of your system.
Zero-Waste Installation Practices
Going clean with your energy should mean a clean job site too. Our crews recycle all packaging, order exactly what’s needed so nothing goes to waste, and make sure your yard looks the same as it did before we showed up. Most homeowners tell us they’re surprised how tidy everything stays.
Battery Backup for Power Outages
PA gets its fair share of summer storms and winter ice. When the grid goes down, a battery backup (link to /solar-energy-company/solar-battery-backup-installation/) keeps your lights on, your fridge running, and your family comfortable. It also stores extra power your panels make during the day so you can use it at night when rates tend to be higher.
PA Incentives That Lower Your Cost
Pennsylvania homeowners can still take advantage of several programs that bring down the upfront price of going solar. Here’s what’s available right now in 2026.
What Happened to the Federal Tax Credit?
For years, the federal government offered a 30% tax credit to homeowners who bought and installed panels. That program expired at the end of 2025 for homeowner-purchased systems. If you’re buying a system with cash or a loan in 2026, the residential credit is no longer available.
However, if you go with a lease or power purchase agreement (PPA), the company that owns the system may still be able to claim the commercial credit and pass those savings on to you through lower monthly payments. Ask our team which financing option makes the most sense for your situation.
Even without the federal credit, panels still pay for themselves through the savings on your electric bill. PA’s high electricity rates actually make the math work faster here than in many other states. You can explore Pennsylvania’s full incentive landscape (link to https://pennsylvania.statesolar.org/) for more details, or visit the PA Department of Environmental Protection’s solar resource hub (link to https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dep/residents/solar-energy-resource-hub/residents) for official state guidance on going solar.
Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs)
This is where PA homeowners have a real advantage. Every time your system produces 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, you earn one SREC. You can sell those credits to utility companies for cash. It’s extra money that comes in regularly for as long as your system is running.
Your Return on Investment
Most PA homeowners see their system pay for itself within several years, and then enjoy decades of low-cost electricity after that. With PA rates running above the national average, your savings only grow as utility prices keep climbing.
Here’s what our PA customers typically see after going solar:
- Monthly electric bills drop by 70–90%
- Protection from future rate increases
- Higher home resale value
- Steady SREC income as long as the system produces power
During your free consultation, we’ll build a custom savings report showing your projected numbers over both 5 and 25 years, based on your actual electric bills and the current PA rate structure.
How We Install Your System, Step by Step
From First Call to Clean Power in Six Steps
1. Free Home or Business Assessment
We start by looking at your property’s potential. Our PA-based consultants check your roof’s direction, shade coverage, and structure. We also pull your last 12 months of electric bills so we can see exactly how much power you use across all four seasons.
2. Custom System Design
Our design team builds a plan that fits your specific home. We factor in local weather, the angle of the sun throughout the year, and PA building codes. You’ll get 3D pictures showing what the panels look like on your roof, plus month-by-month production estimates.
3. Permits and Paperwork
Every PA town has its own permitting rules. We handle all the paperwork with your local building department, your utility company, and state offices. Because we’ve worked with permitting officials all across the state, the approvals usually move faster.
4. Professional Installation
Our PA-based crews show up on time and finish most home installs in just one or two days. We use heavy-duty mounting hardware rated for PA snow loads and wind. All the electrical work is done by licensed electricians who know PA codes inside and out.
5. Utility Connection and Inspection
Once the panels are up, we schedule all inspections and handle the connection to your utility. We work directly with your provider to get everything hooked up under PA’s renewable energy programs.
6. System Activation and Monitoring
After final approval, we turn your system on and set up your monitoring app. You’ll be able to see how much power you’re making in real time, right from your phone.
The whole process usually takes 4–8 weeks from start to finish, though it can vary depending on permit wait times and utility schedules. You’ll have a dedicated project manager keeping you in the loop at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do panels still produce power when it’s overcast outside?
Yes. Your panels don’t need direct sunshine to work. They generate electricity from daylight, not just from bright sun. On a cloudy day in PA, your system will still produce power — just less than on a clear day. Most well-designed systems account for this and are sized to cover your annual needs even with PA’s gray stretches.
Q: What’s the typical price for panels on an average-sized home?
For a typical 2,000-square-foot home in Pennsylvania, a system usually costs between $20,000 and $30,000 before incentives. The actual price depends on your roof, your energy use, and the equipment you choose. During your free consultation, we’ll give you an exact quote with no hidden costs.
Q: Can snow and ice block my panels from working?
Snow can temporarily reduce output, but it usually slides off pretty quickly because panels are mounted at an angle and their dark surface absorbs heat. A light dusting melts on its own within hours on most days. Heavy snow may need to be cleared, but overall, PA’s snow doesn’t prevent your system from producing strong annual totals. Our systems are designed with PA winters in mind.
Q: Will my system generate electricity after the sun goes down?
Panels need daylight to produce power, so they don’t generate electricity at night. But that doesn’t mean you’re stuck paying full price after dark. If you have a battery backup, it stores the extra power your panels made during the day and uses it at night. Without a battery, PA’s net metering program gives you credits for the excess power you send to the grid during the day, which offsets what you pull from the grid at night.
Q. Do panels perform better during summer or winter months?
Your system will produce more electricity in the summer because the days are longer and the sun is higher in the sky. But winter isn’t a washout — panels actually work more efficiently in cold weather than in extreme heat. The shorter days mean less total output, but the per-hour performance can actually be better. A good system is sized to balance production across all seasons.
