$0-Down Solar for Penelec Customers
If Penelec is your electric company, you may qualify to pay a lower rate for solar power made on your own roof, with no money down.
Lower what you pay for power without buying panels
Electric rates in Pennsylvania are reset on a regular schedule, and every increase shows up on your Penelec bill. With the solar savings program, Axia Solar owns the panels on your roof and you buy the power they produce at a lower rate than you pay Penelec. There is no system to buy, so it is $0 down for qualified homeowners.
You stay connected to Penelec
Your home stays connected to the Penelec grid. When the panels produce more than you use, the extra power is credited to your Penelec account at the retail rate under Pennsylvania net metering. At night or on cloudy days you draw power from the grid as usual.
How to tell if you are a Penelec customer
Your utility's name is printed at the top of your electric bill. Penelec is one of the FirstEnergy Pennsylvania utilities. If your bill says West Penn Power, see our West Penn Power solar page.
