Most Common customer questions:

What are the standard residential payment terms?

  • Cash – 3 payments: 10% deposit, 70% at installation, 20% at completion
  • Loan – as little as $0 down, $500 security deposit, 100% financing

How much is it gonna cost?

  • For every $100/month ($1,200/year) spent on utility bill PECO approx $15,000 net cost. (8-9 years till payback)
  • Most solar arrays range from $15,000-$30,000 net cost. Some are more, some are less
  • We can help homeowners qualify for loans, $0 down, market interest rates, low monthly payments

Are there any incentives for Solar?

  • ITC (Investment Tax Credit) – Federal tax credit to get money back off the cost of a solar/battery installation – 30% back off total cost.  
  • IRA – Inflation Reduction Act – passed by Biden is largest Environmental Legislation in history of USA
  • SRECS (Solar Renewable Energy Credit) – State incentive that is in addition to Federal Tax Credit and money saved on utility bill.  PA and NJ both have programs.  NJ is a little better than PA.  Money comes in a little bit at a time.  The more renewable energy you generate the more money you get.  Kinda like a “your doing good” reward.  Typically between $500-$1,500/year

How does it work, does the Utility Company buy the electricity or the excess?

  • Net Metering- Utility bill credits on overproduction of solar energy

What is the benefit, Why should I go solar?

Not only is it great for the planet but you are also supporting local jobs and you will own your power.  You will have energy independence and know where your electricity is coming from.
