PPL Electric Utilities

PPL Electric Utilities serves Pennsylvania with a residential electricity rate of $0.18 per kWh. This is 7% above the national average of $0.168/kWh, meaning solar savings are especially significant for customers looking to reduce their energy costs.

At current rates, a typical PPL Electric Utilities household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $1,944 per year on electricity. An 8 kW solar system can offset most or all of that usage, saving an estimated $1,728 annually and $63,002 over the 25-year life of the system. The estimated payback period is 12.9 years.

PPL Electric Utilities offers net metering for solar customers, with credits applied as Monthly kWh banking with annual cash-out in May; payout based on "price to compare" (wholesale/avoided cost rate), not full retail. If supplier doesn't participate, distribution-portion-only monthly credit is applied.. Heat pump rebates of up to $450 are available.

The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025. State and utility-level incentives are now the primary financial benefits for homeowners going solar. NuWatt Energy handles the entire process from system design through permits and PPL Electric Utilities interconnection, ensuring you receive every available rebate.
