The costs of rooftop solar panels2 and battery storage systems have plummeted in Pennsylvania.4 What’s more, Pennsylvania is one of the few states that offers a Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) program. This performance-based incentive could let you earn one SREC for every megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity your home solar energy system produces. You can later sell your SRECs to your utility and earn some extra cash each year.5,6
