Smart Savings for Lehigh County Homes

Rapid Payback

Lehigh County homeowners get a 30 percent tax credit, full-retail net metering and SRECs near $31 each, so a 6 kW system pays itself in nine years.

Lower Energy Bills

Lehigh County gets about 4.4 peak sun hours per day, so a 6 kW system produces roughly 9,600 kWh annually, cutting average household electricity bills by half.

Added Home Value

Solar-equipped homes in Lehigh County sell for about 3 to 4 percent more, adding roughly $10,500 to $14,000 in resale value on a median-priced $350,000 home.

Financing

Solutions

Sunwise Energy makes solar more affordable in Lehigh County with flexible financing options. PPL Electric customers receive full-retail credits for excess power under Pennsylvania’s net-metering rule. Homeowners claim a 30 percent federal Residential Clean Energy Credit and earn SRECs worth about $25 to $32 each, lowering lifetime system costs. We combine these incentives with Sunshine Solar rebates (up to $5,000) and PACE or solar-specific loans so you can spread payments while savings grow. Installing solar in Lehigh County delivers lasting economic benefits.
