Solar Installation for Philadelphia Homeowners
PECO serves the city and many surrounding communities. Pennsylvania’s net metering policy supports bill credits for exported energy. Historic districts and tight lots may require careful fire-setback and structural planning. We’re experienced with urban installs.
Lifestyle Solar brings regional expertise to Philadelphia homeowners, coordinating PECO interconnection, City of Philadelphia permits, and any HOA requirements. You get one team accountable for production estimates, equipment quality, and code compliance.
Solar Installation Across Philadelphia's Rooftops
Philadelphia's rooftop landscape includes flat-topped rowhouses in South Philly, pitched roofs in the Northeast, and suburban-style homes in Roxborough and Chestnut Hill. Our urban install team handles fire-setback requirements, structural assessments for older rowhomes, and custom racking for every roof geometry. PECO handles the interconnection, and we coordinate City of Philadelphia permits and Historic Commission reviews where they apply.
Your Utility: PECO
We work directly with PECO on interconnection, net metering, and all required paperwork for Philadelphia homeowners.
Every step of your Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia property, walk the roof, check the electrical panel, and review 12 months of your PECO 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 Philadelphia County and the interconnection application with PECO. You sign once; we handle the back-and-forth.
4. Installation
Most Philadelphia 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
Philadelphia County or city inspectors sign off, PECO 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.
Why Philadelphia Homeowners Choose Us
Philadelphia homeowners pick between solar companies on the things that only matter after the sale: which installer shows up on installation day, who picks up the phone six months later, and who knows PECO's interconnection paperwork by heart. Here's what Philadelphia customers tell us when they explain why they chose Lifestyle Solar over the other solar companies in PA.
