How much will your solar project cost?
What determines the cost of a solar project?
Mostly two things: how much electricity you use, and how much space we have to work with. After a quick survey of your property, we’ll price out the racking, panels, inverters, and a battery if you want one.
How will we provide a quote?
We’ll email you a clear proposal and pair you with a dedicated solar designer who takes it from there. One point of contact, start to finish.
On a dual-mission since 2008.
Solar States is a B-Corp founded with a dual-mission to install solar and educate the next generation. It’s been a fun ride: Jim Gardner said our name, our website crashed during a free March Madness ad, an Eagles legend joined our team for an installation on his own home, we won Best for the World: Community for our commitment to the region, and we’ve designed and installed (we do everything in-house) over 2,000 solar projects of every kind, saving our clients over $14,000,000 in avoided utility costs.
Read our 2025 Power Report!
In 2025, we trained 132 students, brought on 27 interns, and hired 10 full-time employees — expanding our workforce development programs into Chester County and Harrisburg. Our crews completed nearly 300 installations, including a stretch where we packed a full year’s worth of solar into just three months. We lobbied in DC, rallied at City Hall, and when policy changes opened the floodgates, we answered — working nights and weekends to meet the moment. After 18 years, we’re just getting started!
Lately at Solar States:
Mayor Parker visited our installation at Universal Audenried!
We were selected to install solar on the Liberty Bell Center — in time for America’s 250th!
Solar States won Impact Business of the Year!
