Federal Solar Tax Credit
The ITC is a driving force behind increased solar adoption in the United States. Since its implementation in 2006, solar installation has grown by over 1600% with an average annual growth rate of 76%.
The tax credit is available for purchased solar systems and is worth 26% of the cost of the system, which is paid back to the homeowner and determined by the amount of the individual’s taxable income that year.

Solar Renewable Energy Certificate
While not as strong of a market as other states, SRECs are still an added perk for switching to cleaner energy in Pennsylvania. One SREC (solar renewable energy certificate) is earned for every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar energy that your system produces, incentivizing carbon-neutral energy in the form of credits that can be sold back to your utility company.

Bidirectional Metering
Net metering is a utility billing system that will credit homeowners for any excess electricity that their solar system produces. The excess power is sent back into the grid for community use through a bidirectional meter. The credits provided are meant to supplement the homeowner’s energy use at night or when it’s cloudy when the system isn’t producing as much.
