The state of Pennsylvania is working to incentivize homes and businesses to go solar. In addition to Federal Programs, they’ve also initiated:
When you own your solar system there can be times when you will be making more electricity than your home needs to use at that moment. With net metering, you are able to deduct from the energy you use from the utility by gaining equal bill credits from the excess energy you sent out to the grid. This process helps ensure that you get value from all of the electricity your system creates and allows you to use the credits in seasons where your home needs the excess power.
State mandates have been put on utility companies that require a certain percentage of the electricity produced on their grid to come from a renewable source. For the electric companies to show proof that they have created the green energy that has been mandated they must purchase their SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Certificates) from the owners that contributed. In addition to getting credit for the energy created, SRECs are a good way for homeowners and businesses to receive income for helping to reduce our carbon footprint. Have one of our representatives create a system design for your home to help give you an idea of the amount of SRECS you could receive in the years to come.
