Pennsylvania homeowners can use the Department of Environmental Protection's residential solar hub and Public Utility Commission resources to research home suitability, financing, permitting and interconnection. A project still requires address-specific review of the roof, utility, usage and agreement.
Research before investing or leasing
Pennsylvania consumer guidance encourages homeowners to evaluate efficiency, suitability, permits, zoning and utility interconnection before buying, leasing or entering a PPA.
Utility territory shapes the process
Interconnection, billing and export treatment depend on the serving utility and current rules. Confirm the specific account and tariff assumed in a proposal.
