Philadelphia Solar Incentives for Homeowners

Net Metering in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania’s net metering program is one of the most homeowner-friendly in the country. It allows you to earn credits on your electric bill for any excess energy your solar panels produce and send back to the grid.

Unlike most states, Pennsylvania requires utilities to issue an annual payout if you generate more electricity than you use over the course of a year. This ensures you get the full value of your energy production, both monthly and annually.
