NEDES: The Leading Solar Installation Company in PA

Why Trust Us For Solar Installation in PA?

Licensed PA HIC & Electrical Contractor

We’re fully registered PA Home Improvement Contractors and hold all the required local electrical licenses. This means before we ever sign a contract with you, you can rest assured knowing your installation is legal, insured, and completely up to code. Additionally, our electricians carry journeyman or master licenses under the PA Uniform Construction Code, and every crew member completes OSHA 30 fall-protection training before stepping on a roof. Don’t just take our word for it; you can look us up anytime in the PA Attorney General’s HIC database.

UCC & NEC Article 690 Compliant

When it comes to code, we don’t cut corners. Every solar system we design follows the 2018 PA UCC and NEC Article 690, covering things like rapid shutdown, conductor sizing, and where disconnects go. We also prepare stamped engineering drawings for each county we work in, since every building department has its own process. At NEDES, we follow IFC Section 1204 fire setback rules, too. It’s a bit more legwork on our end, but it’s exactly why our customers don’t get stuck waiting on failed inspections.

NABCEP-Certified Solar Installers

Our lead solar panel installers are NABCEP certified, which is the gold standard in this industry. It takes real field experience and a tough proctored exam to earn it, and as of 2024, fewer than 15% of solar techs in the U.S. actually have it. Our crews are also trained on IEEE 1547 interconnection standards, which PA utilities require, so we run into fewer inspection hiccups and get approvals faster.

PECO, PPL & Duquesne Interconnection

Speaking of utilities, we handle all the interconnection paperwork for you, whether that’s PECO, PPL, Duquesne Light, or another provider. Pennsylvania’s PUC rules require utilities to respond to smaller systems (under 10 kW) within 10 business days, though larger systems take a bit longer to review. We stay on top of every application and resubmit anything a utility asks for, so you’re not the one chasing down approvals.

Go Solar with Confidence!

Why Do You Need to Switch to Solar in PA?

Rising PA Electricity Rates

Pennsylvania’s electricity rates have increased to 20.92 cents per kWh in 2026, falling roughly 11% above the national average, with PJM capacity prices surging and utility rate hikes continuing. Costs aren’t leveling off anytime soon. That’s why more homeowners are considering solar installation services in Pennsylvania, as locking in your own generation protects you from rate increases for 25–30 years. Our team models your savings before you sign anything.

Full Retail Net Metering

Every Pennsylvania utility, including PECO, PPL, and Duquesne Light, must offer net metering on systems up to 50 kW, crediting your excess solar at the full retail rate. Generate more than you use? The credit simply rolls into next month. As a trusted solar installation company in Pennsylvania, NEDES confirms your exact credit structure with your utility before installation, so there’s no guesswork once your system’s live.

SREC Income Potential

Beyond bill savings, PA homeowners can earn extra income through SRECs, credits that utilities are required to buy under the state’s Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard. Every 1,000 kWh you generate equals one sellable SREC, tracked through PJM’s GATS system. We help you register your system automatically, so you can start listing credits without extra paperwork, which is a true added income, on top of your monthly electric bill savings.

PA Sun Hours

Does Pennsylvania Get Enough Sun for Solar Installation Services to Make Sense?

Pennsylvania Gets 4 Peak Sun Hours

The state averages 4 peak sun hours daily, which is enough for cost-effective solar installation services in Pennsylvania, especially with net metering. Plus point is our team accounts for seasonal dips when sizing every system.

Snow Load? We've Got It Covered

Our solar installers mount panels at tilt angles that shed snow naturally. Our racking meets Pennsylvania's county-specific snow load codes, 20 to 40 PSF, and carries a 25-year structural warranty.

Shading Studied Before Every Install

Trees nearby? Our Pennsylvania solar installation service providers run a full shading study before designing your system. For partially shaded roofs, we recommend microinverters, isolating any output loss to one panel, not your whole array.

Our Partnership

What Brands and Equipment Do We Install?

We only install equipment we'd put on our own roofs. When you choose us for solar installation services in Pennsylvania, we use monocrystalline panels rated 400–450 watts, which is the most common class in new U.S. residential systems. Inverter selection, string or microinverter, is based on your roof's shading study. Battery storage ranges from 10 to 30 kWh, enough to cover essential circuits through a full 24-hour outage. All racking carries UL 2703 certification, and every inverter meets IEEE 1547 standards that Pennsylvania utilities require. Standard contracts include a 25-year panel warranty and 10-year inverter coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pennsylvania offer a solar tax credit?

Pennsylvania has no state solar tax credit, and the federal 30% residential ITC expired on December 31, 2025. Solar equipment and installation labor are still exempt from Pennsylvania’s 6% sales tax, though.

How does net metering work in Pennsylvania?

Every kilowatt your system sends back to the grid gets credited at the full retail rate. Credits roll forward each month, and PECO, PPL, and Duquesne Light all operate under the same PUC framework.

What is an SREC and how does it generate income?

Every 1,000 kWh your system generates creates one sellable SREC. Pennsylvania utilities are required to buy them, giving you income on top of your regular bill savings. Our team handles GATS registration at no extra cost.

Do I need a permit to install solar panels in Pennsylvania?

Yes, every grid-tied system in PA requires a UCC permit covering structural, electrical, and fire code compliance. We submit and manage every permit application as part of your installation contract, which means nothing falls on you.
