5 Best Solar Companies in Pennsylvania

• Why We Picked It: Sunrun has flexible financing, including two options for lease customers: a full lease and a monthly lease. Both plans come with free maintenance, monitoring, and insurance.

Sunrun begins the installation process with a virtual consultation that includes the company’s Automated Site Modeling tool. This program can design a system that fits your home perfectly while maximizing solar energy production.

Sunrun doesn’t provide much information about its products online, other than it offers the popular Tesla Powerwall battery. However, you can use the website’s product selector to look at options that may work with your home.

One of Sunrun’s unique offerings is its comprehensive bumper-to-bumper warranty, which covers parts and labor if anything breaks within the first 10 years of ownership. This guarantee also covers roof leaks or holes. The company’s leases come with insurance coverage for theft or damage.

• Why We Picked It: Palmetto Solar has excellent customer service and comprehensive offerings. In addition to solar panel installation, Palmetto provides pest abatement, panel cleaning, and roofing services.

Palmetto Solar offers an online calculator that allows you to estimate your potential solar savings by inputting your address and average electric bill. The company claims its Pennsylvania customers save an average of $13,455 over 25 years.

Palmetto has multiple customer support options via phone, email, or online chat. It provides a 12-year product warranty and a 25-year performance guarantee. Though the company doesn’t include pricing on its website, it says its Pennsylvania systems are available for as little as $85 per month via loan.

Palmetto also offers a unique Protection Plan to customers and non-customers alike. The plan comes with system monitoring, detailed performance reports, regular inspections, and support.

• Why We Picked It: Green Home Systems offers a variety of high-quality solar panels, inverters, batteries, and optimizers. The company specializes in solar roofing systems.

Green Home Systems designs state-of-the-art residential solar systems backed by strong warranties anywhere from 10 to 25 years. In addition to solar panels, the company offers high-tech solar roof shingles and tiles, which function as solar panels but blend in more seamlessly with your roof. It also sells backup generators to keep your home’s electrical system up and running.

Though Green Home Systems has only been around since 2017, it has many positive customer reviews on the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

• Why We Picked It: Trinity Solar has 28 years of experience in the solar industry, the longest of any company on our list. It has installed more than 77,000 solar power systems across nine states.

Trinity Solar has a decades-long history of serving solar customers. It offers high-quality solar panels from Q Cells plus dependable solar panel batteries from top-name brands, including Tesla and Generac. It also performs installations directly.

Trinity Solar offers different warranties for each of its four payment options. Customers who purchase their systems receive a 5-year workmanship warranty. Those who select a lease get workmanship coverage through the end of their contract. All customers get a 25-year equipment warranty.

• Why We Picked It: Momentum Solar is user-friendly, making it perfect for homeowners new to solar. The company has a full-service, in-house installation process and takes care of everything from design to applying for incentives.

Momentum Solar designs, installs, monitors, and maintains solar energy systems. A representative will walk you through every step of the process, including handling permitting paperwork and helping you apply for cost-saving solar incentives.

The company also frequently updates its blog with educational information and provides an interactive mobile app for system monitoring. It offers a 25-year warranty on its panels and four financing options: full purchase, loan, lease, and power purchase agreement (PPA).

Most companies offer at least two of these options. A full purchase means buying your system in one lump sum, while a loan involves paying a monthly rate toward ownership, including interest. A lease allows you to rent your system, while a PPA allows you to pay for only the energy you use, similar to an electric bill. Both a lease and PPA have little to no up-front costs but disqualify you from accessing incentives.
