Heads up on timing: Pennsylvania's federal HEAR/HOMES rebate program (Penn Energy Savers, $258.9M allocated) has not launched publicly yet as of this writing — DEP is finalizing program design and expects activation in Q3–Q4 2026. Most utility Act 129 rebates also just transitioned from Phase IV (closed May 31, 2026) to Phase V, and not every utility has published new amounts. Everything below reflects the most recent confirmed figures — always confirm current status with your utility before assuming a number is live. Source: PA DEP – Inflation Reduction Act

Quick Questions

Which utility do I have?

FirstEnergy's four Pennsylvania utilities (Met-Ed, Penelec, Penn Power, West Penn Power) cover Erie, Reading, and most of the rest of the state.
Is Pennsylvania's federal HEAR rebate available yet?
Not yet as of this writing. DEP is finalizing its Penn Energy Savers program design after new federal guidance in June 2026, with activation expected Q3–Q4 2026. Check DEP's page for the current status before counting on it.
Are utility Act 129 rebates still open?
Most Pennsylvania utilities closed their Phase IV Act 129 rebates around May 31, 2026 and are transitioning to Phase V (June 2026–May 2031). As of this writing, not every utility has published new Phase V rebate amounts — confirm directly with your utility.
What's the Pennsylvania solar rebate?
The PA Sunshine Solar Program can cover up to 35% of a residential solar project, capped near $17,500 for PV and $5,000 for solar thermal, on a first-come first-served basis — separate from and stackable with the 30% federal solar tax credit.
