Solar Installation in Upper Darby, PA
Upper Darby is one of Pennsylvania's largest townships, sitting just west of Philadelphia with a population of roughly 85,000 residents. Its diverse neighborhoods, from the bustling 69th Street commercial corridor to the tree-lined streets of Drexel Hill and Bywood, feature a mix of rowhouses, twins, and single-family colonials with excellent southern roof exposure. The township's density and relatively affordable housing stock make it one of the Delaware County communities where residential solar adoption is accelerating fastest.

Every step of your Upper Darby 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 Upper Darby 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 Delaware County and the interconnection application with PECO. You sign once; we handle the back-and-forth.
4. Installation
Most Upper Darby 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
Delaware 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.
