Stop Paying PECO. Start Owning Your Power.
PECO rates are at $0.22/kWh and climbing every year. Solar panels eliminate your electric bill. Battery storage keeps your home running when the grid goes down. Together, they deliver energy independence and long-term savings you can count on.
The Problem
Rising Utility Costs and an Aging, Unreliable Grid
Pennsylvania homeowners face two growing threats to their household budget and comfort.
Your Electric Bill Keeps Going Up
PECO has raised rates consistently over the past decade. At $0.22/kWh today, the average Southeastern PA household spends $2,500-$4,000+ per year on electricity — and that number climbs every year. Over the next 25 years, you could pay PECO $100,000 or more for electricity you could be generating yourself for free.
Solar locks in your energy cost at $0. Instead of renting power from PECO, you own it. SREC income and net metering credits make the economics even stronger.
The Grid Is Less Reliable Than Ever
Severe storms, extreme heat, and aging infrastructure are causing more frequent and longer power outages across Southeastern PA and the PJM Interconnection region. A single multi-day outage can mean spoiled food, no HVAC, lost productivity for those working from home, and risks for anyone relying on medical equipment.
Battery backup keeps your home running when the grid fails. Your solar panels recharge your batteries during the day, giving you potentially unlimited backup duration — not just a few hours like a gas generator.
The Solution
Solar + Battery = Financial Freedom & Energy Security
Solar eliminates your electric bill. Battery storage protects your home. Together, they deliver complete energy independence.
Eliminate Your PECO Bill
A properly sized solar system offsets 80-100% of your electric bill. Stop renting power — own it. PECO's 1:1 net metering credits your account for every kWh you export.

Pennsylvania pays you for every 1,000 kWh your system produces. A typical 10 kW system earns $250-$350+ per year in SREC income on top of your bill savings.
Learn moreNever Lose Power
Battery backup keeps your lights, fridge, internet, and HVAC running during grid outages. Solar recharges your batteries daily for potentially unlimited backup duration.

Solar can reduce or eliminate your electric bill for 25+ years. Every time PECO raises rates, your savings increase. Solar is a hedge against utility inflation.

How Solar Pays for Itself in Southeastern PA
Multiple revenue streams and savings stack up to create one of the best investments available to PA homeowners.
Target: $0 Electric Bill
A properly sized 10 kW system can offset 80-100% of your PECO bill, saving $2,500-$3,500+ per year. Over 25+ years, total savings often exceed $80,000 — far more than the cost of the system.
Earn Additional Income
PA's SREC program pays you for every 1,000 kWh your system produces. A typical system generates 10-12 SRECs per year, adding $250-$350+ in annual income on top of your bill savings.
PECO Net Metering
PECO credits you at the full retail rate ($0.22/kWh) for every excess kWh you send to the grid. Your summer overproduction rolls over to offset winter bills — it's like a savings account for energy.
Grid Resilience
When the Grid Goes Down, Your Home Stays On.
Power outages are becoming more frequent and lasting longer across Southeastern PA. A solar + battery system means you never have to worry about losing power again. Your solar panels recharge your batteries every day, providing clean, quiet, unlimited backup — unlike a gas generator that runs out of fuel.

What Our Southeastern PA Neighbors Say
Real reviews from homeowners who took control of their energy costs.
“My PECO bill went from $280/month to virtually nothing. The SREC income is an added bonus I didn't expect. Mike walked me through the entire ROI — it was a no-brainer financially.”

“We got Tesla Powerwalls along with our solar panels. When our neighborhood lost power for 36 hours last summer, our house never blinked. The peace of mind alone is worth the investment.”
David R.

“Between eliminating our $3,200/year PECO bill and earning SREC income, our system is paying for itself faster than projected. And knowing we have battery backup for outages — priceless.”
