Your electric bill should not go up year after year just because the utility says so. With solar, you can lock in a lower cost of power and take back control of what you pay each month. We are a local Pennsylvania solar and roofing company that does the work with our own crews, so one team is responsible from start to finish.
Your family has not suddenly doubled its electricity use. The bill keeps climbing anyway. Rates rose in 2023, 2024, 2025 and on June 1st of 2026 they rose AGAIN.
Every rate increase quietly becomes part of your monthly budget. Homeowners in Pennsylvania are left paying whatever the utility decides power should cost next.
Homeowners who switched to solar years ago locked in a lower cost of power and have largely sat out the increases everyone else absorbed.
The question is not whether to rush. It is whether you want the utility setting your energy costs for the next decade, or whether you would rather lock in your own. The hard part is not deciding to go solar. It is deciding who to trust to do it right.
The first step is simple. We look at your roof, your usage, and your current bill, then we show you the numbers. For many homeowners a residential solar company can deliver power at a lower cost than they pay their utility today, and with $0 down options there may be no large upfront purchase at all. If solar makes sense for your home, you will know exactly why. If it does not, we will tell you that too.
We received your request and will reach out shortly to schedule your free consultation.
If you are comparing solar companies, you are asking the right question. Here is what to look for, and how Sunwise measures up.
If the roof needs work, we do that too. Most companies cannot.
The people who quote your roof are the people who climb it. We have 50+ years of combined experience.
$0 down options can put your cost of power below what you pay your utility now.

Every PA solar system we install carries Tier 1 premium panels and the most comprehensive warranty stack in the industry. The specifics depend on how you finance the system.
The most comprehensive solar warranty in the industry. Covers your microinverters, panels, and racking for 25 full years, parts and labor included. One number to call if anything goes wrong.
Most lease and PPA financing partners cover the equipment for the life of the agreement. On top of that, we provide a 10 year roof penetration and workmanship warranty on every install we do, with the same 25 year manufacturer and linear performance warranty on the panels.
Real numbers from a real Sunwise customer. He never put in a dollar.
He never bought the system. Our partner owns it, claims the federal credit, and builds it into the rate. He just buys the power his roof produces, at about half what the utility charged him for the same electricity.
Your results depend on your roof, usage, and utility rate, which is exactly what the free design shows you.
Start with who does the work. The best solar companies use their own crews instead of subcontracting your install to whoever is available that week. Ask whether they put the full math in writing before you commit, including system design, production estimate, incentives, and every financing option. Ask whether they also handle roofing, since your roof has to outlast a 25 year system. And ask whether they will tell you no, because a reputable solar company will say so if your roof or shade make solar a poor fit. We are a top rated local solar and roofing company, and those are the same standards we hold ourselves to.
It depends on your roof size, your energy use, and which financing path you choose, so any honest PA solar company gives you a real number only after designing a system for your specific home. What we can tell you up front is that many homeowners who go solar finance with $0 down, through a loan you own or a PPA with nothing out of your pocket at all, where you simply pay for the power your panels produce at a rate set lower than what you pay your utility now. On your consultation you see cash, loan, lease, and PPA laid out side by side so you can compare the real tradeoffs instead of one pressured number.
Look at three things. First, who actually does the install: a trustworthy solar company uses its own crews, not subcontractors. Second, whether they put the full math in writing, including the system design, the production estimate, and every financing option, before asking you to decide. Third, whether they will tell you no when solar is not right for your roof. A 4.7 star rating and reviews from real local homeowners help, but those three questions tell you more than any star count. We are a local PA solar company and we operate on all three.
A local PA solar company installs with its own crews and lives with the result. The team that quotes your roof is the team that climbs it, and the same company answers the phone if you have a question in year three. National companies often hand the actual install to subcontractors, which means the people on your roof never spoke to the person who sold you the system. Local also means we know your township’s permit process and your specific utility’s interconnection rules, which is most of what determines how fast you get switched on.
Yes. We are a solar and roofing company, which matters more than it sounds. Solar panels last 25 years or more, so the roof underneath them has to be sound before anything goes up. Because we do both, we assess your roof honestly as part of the design, and if it needs work first we can handle that rather than installing over a roof that will fail and force a costly removal and reinstall later.
Yes, and a good PA solar company handles the paperwork for you. In Pennsylvania you earn one SREC for every megawatt-hour your system produces, which you sell on the open market for ongoing income, alongside net metering and any utility rebates available in your area. The federal credit still applies too, through a $0 down PPA. The financing partner that owns the system claims that credit, and it is built into the lower rate you are quoted, which is part of why your cost of power comes in below what you pay today. There is no tax paperwork on your end. We confirm exactly which incentives your home qualifies for during the consultation.
The coverage depends on how you finance. If you own the system through cash or a loan, you get a 25 year CertainTeed warranty covering panels, microinverters, racking, parts, and labor, with one number to call. If you lease or use a PPA, the financing partner covers the equipment for the life of the agreement and we add a 10 year roof penetration and workmanship warranty on top, with the same 25 year manufacturer and linear performance warranty on the panels either way.
We focus on residential solar, so yes, this is what we do. As a residential solar panel company we design every system around your specific roof and energy use rather than a one size fits all package, install with our own crews, and back the work with a comprehensive warranty. We are 4.7 star rated and have completed 1,000s of installations across the tri-state area. The best way to judge any solar panel company is to see its proposal, so we put the full design and the numbers in front of you before you decide anything.
The install itself is usually done in a single day once permits are approved. The full timeline from signed agreement to your system producing power is mostly paperwork: township permitting, utility interconnection, and the permission-to-operate approval. A local company that already knows your jurisdiction moves that along faster than a national one learning your township’s process for the first time.
If you have read this far, you are doing your homework. That is the kind of homeowner we love working with. When you request a consultation you talk to a PA solar energy expert who knows your township, your utility, and your incentive program.
You walk away with a satellite design of your roof, a real production estimate, and four financing options costed side by side. If your roof is not a fit, we tell you. If a state program change is coming, we tell you. Either way, you know more about PA solar afterward than you did before.
