Pennsylvania residents across 460 towns and cities are served by 11 electric utilities, with residential rates ranging from 14.0¢ to 20.0¢ per kWh. The state average of 16.4¢/kWh provides a competitive environment for solar adoption. At this rate, a typical 8 kW solar system saves approximately $1,571 per year.
The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025. This means homeowners who buy solar with cash or a loan no longer receive a federal tax credit. However, Pennsylvania state incentives of $400 are still available, bringing the net cost of an 8 kW system to $24,368. Third-party owned systems (leases and PPAs) still qualify for 30% under Section 48/48E.
100% of Pennsylvania utilities offer net metering, allowing solar homeowners to earn bill credits for excess energy.Browse the towns below to see exact rates, incentives, and savings estimates for your specific location.
