Roof under 20 years old
Panels are built to stay up for decades, so the roof under them needs plenty of life left. Nobody wants a tear-off a few years after install.
Pennsylvania homes only · PA net metering
Every month, your house writes a check to someone else.
Pennsylvania homeowners: your electric bill keeps climbing. Your roof could help push back.
Your meter right now: 0.000 kWh illustrative
Solar panels on a qualifying Pennsylvania home produce your own electricity, and under PA net metering the extra power you send to the grid shows up as credit on your utility bill. Take the 2-minute eligibility check, then talk it through with a specialist by phone or video. No door knocking, and no pressure.

Why homeowners are looking at solar
You can't control the rate on your bill. You can control where your power comes from.
If your PPL, UGI, Met-Ed or Penelec bill feels higher every season, you're not imagining it. Utility rates and supply prices change, and you pay for every kilowatt-hour your home pulls from the grid. Customers of PECO, Duquesne Light and West Penn Power deal with the same thing.
Rooftop solar lets a good-fit home make a share of its own electricity. Pennsylvania also has net metering: state law requires electric utilities to offer it to eligible homeowners who generate their own power. When your panels make more than you use, the extra goes to the grid and is credited on your electric bill.
How much it helps depends on your home: your roof, your sun, your usage and your utility's rules. That's exactly what the eligibility check and consult are for.
To be clear, this is not a "free solar" program. Net metering is a billing rule, not a giveaway. Solar systems cost money, and you'll see the real price, financing or lease terms before anything is signed.
The 4 qualifications
Four things decide whether your home is a good fit
These are the same checks the specialist and installer use. If your home meets all four, it's worth a conversation.
Over 4,000 kWh a year
Solar makes the most sense when your home really uses electricity. Your annual total is usually printed on your bill's usage history.
Clear southern exposure
A south-facing roof without heavy shade from big trees or nearby buildings. That's where panels catch the most sun.
Both homeowners on the consult
If the home is jointly owned, both owners join the phone or video consult, so everyone hears the same numbers and decides together.
Not sure about one of these? That's fine. Fill out the form and we'll help you check. Start the check →

Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
Is this a free solar program?
No. We aren't offering free panels. Solar systems cost money, whether you buy, finance or lease. What we offer is a free, no-obligation check of whether solar makes sense for your home, plus a clear explanation of the real costs from Momentum Solar before you decide anything.
What is net metering in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania law requires electric distribution utilities to offer net metering to eligible customers who generate their own electricity, like homeowners with rooftop solar. When your system produces more than your home is using, the extra goes to the grid and is credited on your bill. When your system produces less, at night for example, you draw from the grid as usual.
The details, like how credits roll over and how any leftover credit is handled at year-end, follow your utility's tariff and Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission rules. Your specialist will walk you through how it works for your utility.
I'm a UGI customer. Does this apply to me?
Solar lowers your electric bill. If UGI is your electric utility (UGI Electric serves parts of northeastern PA), this applies directly. If UGI supplies only your natural gas, solar won't change that bill, but it can still help with your electric bill from PPL or whichever utility serves you. Pick your electric utility on the form.
How much will I save?
We won't guess before we've looked at your home, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Savings depend on your usage, roof direction and shading, system size, your utility's rates and net metering rules, and how you pay for the system. The consult is where you'll see numbers based on your real bill.
Are there tax credits or rebates?
Incentives change over time, and some have recently ended or changed. We don't promise any specific credit. Ask during your consult what currently applies to your home, and confirm tax questions with your tax professional.
Does someone have to come to my house?
Not at first. The check is online and the consult is by phone or video. An in-person roof assessment by Momentum Solar only happens if you both want to move forward, because the installer has to confirm the roof and design in person.
Why do both homeowners need to be on the consult?
Going solar is a real financial decision for the household. Having both owners on the call means everyone hears the same costs and terms and can ask their own questions, with no surprises later.
What if my roof is older than 20 years or my home is shaded?
Then solar may not be a good fit right now, and we'll tell you so. An older roof usually needs replacing before panels go on, and heavy shade cuts production. You can still submit, and we'll give you an honest answer.
What happens to my information?
Your details go to , your solar consultant, and Momentum Solar, only to check eligibility and contact you about solar for your home. You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time.
