Is there a solar rebate in Erie?
Yes — the statewide PA Sunshine Solar Program can rebate up to 35% of a residential solar project, capped near $17,500 for PV, first-come first-served, stacking with the 30% federal solar credit.
Do I need to confirm this rebate is still active in Erie?
Yes. Pennsylvania utilities are transitioning from Act 129 Phase IV (closed May 31, 2026) to Phase V (June 2026–May 2031), and not every utility has published new amounts yet. Confirm current status with Penelec (FirstEnergy) before assuming a figure is live.
