There has never been a better time to go solar in Lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania than right now and Exact Solar is the PA solar installer to call. Across PA, the economics are especially favorable for solar energy systems that create electricity, also called solar PV (photovoltaic) systems, because the price of panels continue to drop and the price of SRECs in PA is still relatively high. And until December 31, 2022, the 26% federal tax credit is still available on the retail price of the system. After then, it begins a scheduled reduction for the next few years.
At current electricity rates in Lower Bucks County, Pennsylvania it generally takes about 8 – 10 years for a solar electric (PV) system to pay for itself — that’s a 10%+ return on your investment!. After that, your own solar “power plant” creates electricity for you using a free and abundant energy source, forever offsetting your energy expenses, and producing electricity that never goes up in price…no mining, drilling, transporting, or re-fueling required.
Residential solar energy systems typically cost $2.50 to $4.00 per watt (installed, before the federal tax credit). An average system in Pennsylvania is designed with approximately 30 panels. Such a system will generate around 13,000 kwh/year and will cost between $32-$38,000 before the 26% federal tax credit is applied, or between $24-$28,000 after the tax credit.
