    I'm very satisfied with the choice that I made with PA Solar. The owner is very professional and helpful & always available to answer questions when I call. The installation crew were very professional & friendly. They worked well with my roofers for an outstanding installation experience. I highly recommend this company & its product.

    My solar panels from Pennsylvania Solar have now been on my roof for more than two years and its been a very positive experience. They kept me informed on the schedule for my work and got it done within the timeline promised. They handled all the permitting, inspections, and coordinated the final connections with Duquesne Light I didnt have to worry about any of it. The install went pretty much as expected. Most of the work was completed in one day with a few minor follow-up items the next day. It took another couple of weeks for the electric utility to complete their part. The only installation surprise had to do with vent pipe from my kitchen sink that was cut down and rerouted under the panels. What they did worked fine I just wasnt aware they were going to do it. But they were able to locate all the panels on the back side of my roof (which is south-west facing), so the whole install is almost invisible from the street. In almost two years of use, the system has required no maintenance. In the first full year of use, I spent about 90% less on electricity compared to the last full year before the install. In the second year, I improved my homes insulation and ended the year with $25 more in solar credits than what I spend on electricity. And thats with added electric consumption from working at home full time. The only days I dont get any production are winter days when they are covered by snow. Usually, the snow slides off within a few hours to a day or two. Just beware down below when that wet, heavy snow starts to slide! Im considering switching some of my gas appliances to electric. If I eventually decide to add more panels or battery storage, I would certainly consider PA Solar first.

    Professional, timely and efficient. They installed a 35.5 kW solar array and a 30 kW battery backup at my home. Permitting, installation and inspection went smoothly. Everything was handled by Pennsylvania Solar from start to finish and completed sooner than originally expected. The installation technicians were efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. They took the time to answer my many questions and the overall installation is attractive with experience being evident in their work. We have had the system installed and producing for roughly 10 months now. The power has gone out a number of times and we are glad we have the battery backup. Half of the time we didn't know the power was out until our neighbors came knocking at our door. After trimming some trees back as suggested we are on track to exceed estimated production with a few months left as a bonus. I would highly recommend Pennsylvania Solar! We chose them based on a referral from a friend who had a great experience at their properties.

    The system they installed produces less than half of the energy they guaranteed, and it took 13 months longer than they quoted us. They had to outsource 75% of the installation to another company. That company had to come in and remedy all the errors that PA Solar had made. Then PA Solar wouldn't pay the sub-contractor, which I only found out when the sub-contractor had to notify me that they couldn't continue the install due to PA Solar's not paying them and the additional time required to fix PA Solar's mistakes. When the system was finally installed, it loses power whenever the grid power is interrupted. And contacting them is almost impossible. Do not trust this company. They do not know their business, and they do not care about their customers' needs and timelines.
