Solar Installation for Dayton Homeowners
AES Ohio (formerly DP&L) serves much of the Dayton area. Ohio net metering applies to eligible systems. Ranch and split-level homes built after mid-century dominate many neighborhoods, offering simple roof planes for efficient arrays.
We handle AES Ohio applications, Montgomery County and township permits, and HOA documentation when required. Dayton-area customers get the same transparent timelines and quality standards we deliver throughout our service territory.
Solar Installation for Dayton's Miami Valley
Dayton housing covers Oregon District historic homes through Centerville's modern suburbs, each calling for different solar approaches. We engineer around the Miami Valley's solar resource and the flat-to-moderate roof pitches common across Montgomery County. AES Ohio handles the interconnection, and we manage Dayton-area building permits.
Your Utility: AES Ohio
AES Ohio is outside our four primary utility territories (Duquesne Light, Penelec, FirstEnergy Ohio, AEP Ohio). We do review one-off projects in Dayton on a case-by-case basis. If you're interested, reach out and we'll discuss your specific situation.
Every step of your Dayton solar installation
From the first visit to the day your system turns on, here is what actually happens.
1. On-site assessment
We visit your Dayton property, walk the roof, check the electrical panel, and review 12 months of your AES Ohio bills. No charge, no obligation.
2. Engineered system design
Our engineers size the array to your actual usage and design panel placement around shading, roof orientation, and structural load. You see the plan before anything is ordered.
3. Permits and interconnection
We file the local building permit with Montgomery County and the interconnection application with AES Ohio. You sign once; we handle the back-and-forth.
4. Installation
Most Dayton installs are completed in one day on the roof. Larger or complex systems may take additional time. Our crew is in and out the same week we start.
5. Inspection and activation
Montgomery County or city inspectors sign off, AES Ohio swaps or reprograms your meter, and the system turns on. We are there for both steps.
6. Monitoring setup
Before we leave, your phone is connected to the production app. You can see daily kilowatt-hours, panel-level performance, and any alerts the moment they appear.
