Choosing a solar installer is a big decision, and the company you choose can shape your experience long after installation.

A reliable installer should have a strong track record, experienced in-house staff, clear warranties, responsive service, and a plan for supporting customers over the life of their system.

In our latest blog, we share what homeowners should look for when comparing solar companies, which questions to ask before signing a contract, our partnership with Amicus, and why long-term stability and service matter 👉

If you’re a PECO customer with a home battery, your system may now be able to do more than provide backup power.

PECO’s Flex & Save program rewards eligible residential customers for allowing their batteries to support the grid during periods of high electricity demand. PECO advertises average annual rewards of about $480, though actual payments depend on your battery’s performance and program requirements.

In our latest blog, we break down how the program works, who may qualify, how rewards are calculated, and what homeowners should consider before enrolling 👉 https://link.exactsolar.com/xw109

Conestoga High School is now generating solar energy from its new athletic field house in Berwyn!
Exact Solar recently completed a 59.74 kW solar installation for the Tredyffrin/Easttown School District through Pennsylvania’s COSTARS cooperative purchasing program. The 103-panel system is projected to generate about 80,080 kWh in its first year, equivalent to roughly 73% of the field house’s modeled annual electricity use!

The project is a great example of how Pennsylvania schools and other eligible public organizations can use COSTARS to simplify the purchasing process while still carefully evaluating system design, cost, production, construction requirements, and long-term support.

Read more about the project, how the system was designed, and what other Pennsylvania schools can learn from Conestoga’s experience 👉 https://link.exactsolar.com/WOoZc

The federal residential solar tax credit may have ended, but that doesn’t mean solar stopped making sense.

For homeowners in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the answer depends on the numbers: your electricity use, utility rates, system cost and production, available state incentives, and how you choose to pay for solar.

In our latest blog, we break down what changed, what incentives are still available, and the five questions homeowners should consider when deciding whether solar is still a good fit 👉 https://link.exactsolar.com/mseom

The Philadelphia School is now generating solar energy right from its Center City campus!

Exact Solar recently completed a 43.38 kW rooftop solar installation across the school’s main building and garage. The 78-panel system is expected to generate approximately 46,000 kWh of electricity each year, offsetting about 31% of the school’s annual electricity use.

The system was donated by Exact Solar's President Doug Edwards, with our in-house team handling the design, installation, and PECO approval process. Beyond reducing the amount of electricity the school needs to purchase from the grid, the installation gives students a real-world example of renewable energy at work right on their own campus.

We’re excited to see this project supporting The Philadelphia School for years to come.

Jen Ragen’s solar story started with a mix of energy efficiency, environmental values, and electric vehicles.

After moving from a row home into a single-family home in Philadelphia with a pool, central air, and higher electric bills, Jen and her husband began looking for ways to reduce their household energy use. When they bought their first electric vehicle in 2014, solar became the next logical step.

Ten years later, Jen’s rooftop solar system has generated more than 100 megawatt-hours of electricity and has helped power a home with two electric vehicles, a pool, and work-from-home energy use.

Check out Jen’s tour to hear how solar has helped her household lower costs, reduce emissions, and make EV ownership even cleaner. 👉 https://link.exactsolar.com/qS4SQ
