Solar Rebates in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (2026)
Philadelphia — in PECO Energy service territory — accesses the Pennsylvania Sunshine Solar Rebate plus the strong Pennsylvania SREC market (historically $50–$120/MWh). PECO offers 1:1 retail-rate net metering. Combined with federal 25D (30%) and Pennsylvania property tax exclusion (solar value not added to assessment), Philadelphia solar delivers reasonable economics despite a modest solar resource. SREC revenue over 15 years adds $9,000+ on a typical 8 kW install, making the long-term return strong even with modest upfront subsidies.
