Why Go Solar in Bloomsburg, PA?

The best reason to go solar in Bloomsburg is sitting in your mailbox every month. PPL’s electricity rates have climbed for years, and every increase lands on your electric bill. Solar panels let you make a big share of your own power at a cost you know up front.

Why do Pennsylvania rates keep rising? PJM, the company that runs our regional grid, has seen capacity prices jump as data centers add demand, and utilities pass that cost on to homeowners. Our post on why your electric bill is so high in Pennsylvania explains it in plain English.

Here’s what solar can do for a Bloomsburg household.

  • Lower utility bills. You buy less power from PPL, and a well-sized system can offset most of what your home uses.
  • $0 out of pocket for many homeowners. A solar lease or a power purchase agreement (PPA) lets qualified homeowners start with no upfront cost, subject to credit approval. You still make monthly payments. The upfront cost is what goes away.
  • SREC income on owned systems. In Pennsylvania, every megawatt-hour (MWh) your panels produce earns one Solar Renewable Energy Credit, or SREC, which you can sell.
  • Higher property value. Solar homes sell for about $15,000 more on average, and Zillow’s 2019 research found a 4.1% sale premium [confirm source]. The bump varies by market.
