The best solar installers in Pennsylvania are NABCEP-certified, locally based, and transparent about 2026 pricing. NuWatt Energy has installations across PA, holds NABCEP certification, and honestly discloses that the Section 25D tax credit expired.
Solar installation in Pennsylvania costs $2.80-$3.00 per watt in 2026. A typical 10 kW system costs $29,000 before state incentives. The federal residential tax credit (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025. After SREC income, net metering credits, and Keystone HELP financing, payback is typically 9-12 years.
No. The Section 25D residential solar tax credit expired December 31, 2025. If you purchase a solar system with cash or a loan in 2026, your federal credit is $0. The only way to access federal incentives is through a solar lease or PPA where a third-party owner claims the Section 48 commercial ITC.
Pennsylvania offers SRECs that earn additional income based on production, net metering at retail rate with PECO/PPL/Duquesne, Act 129 utility energy efficiency programs, and Keystone HELP low-interest financing. Solar equipment is exempt from the 6% state sales tax.
Most Pennsylvania residential solar installations take 8-12 weeks from contract to power-on. This includes engineering (1-2 weeks), permitting (2-4 weeks), installation (1-2 days), and utility interconnection (2-4 weeks).
