SOLAR SAVINGS DATA

In Pennsylvania, net metering rules require electric distribution companies and default service providers to offer net metering to customer-generators that meet program requirements. In practical terms, net metering can credit you for electricity your solar system produces—helping you offset your bill across seasonal swings (when production and usage don’t always line up month-to-month).

​

​Pennsylvania also has an Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards (AEPS) framework where energy credits exist as tradable instruments. Pennsylvania defines an Alternative Energy Credit as representing 1 megawatt-hour (1,000 kWh) of generation, and PennAEPS explains that PJM-GATS is the credit registry selected by Pennsylvania to issue AECs, which can be transferred to buyers once issued. These rules and market dynamics change over time, so we treat incentives as part of a project’s design conversation—not a one-size-fits-all promise.
