Why Solar
Utility rates can change. A solar agreement's rate is known ahead of time, that's the real win, and the reason most of our customers go solar.
Electricity rates keep climbing. A solar agreement locks in a lower, predictable rate set ahead of time, so your monthly power cost stops being a surprise. Many Pittsburgh homeowners see up to ~40% lower combined electricity costs, depending on the home.
Solar can boost your home's value and curb appeal. Lower energy bills are a real selling point, and a clean, modern install tells buyers the home is built for what's next, so resale offers tend to come faster and stronger.
Solar is a renewable energy source that runs on Pittsburgh sunlight, no fuel, no emissions. Going solar shrinks your home's footprint and keeps Western PA air cleaner without changing how you live.
With a Power Purchase Agreement, there’s $0 upfront. You don’t buy the system, you buy the power it produces, at a rate set ahead of time. The utility’s rate can keep climbing. Yours doesn’t have to.

Illustrative example. Solar replaces most of what you buy from the utility, you don’t pay your old bill plus a solar payment. Actual numbers depend on your home, usage, utility rate, and agreement terms.
For context, Duquesne Light’s all-in rate runs roughly 23-25¢/kWh and can keep changing. A solar agreement locks in a lower, predictable rate set ahead of time. (Utility rates vary by territory and change over time.)
A flat rate that never increases, maximum predictability.
Best for homeowners who value a locked, fixed rate.
A lower starting rate with a small, planned yearly increase.
Best for the lowest starting payment, known in advance.
Prefer to own your system? Cash and loan options are available, and we can walk through a prepaid PPA if it fits, just ask during your solar review.
