Solar is a smart investment. If you choose to purchase your system, the savings from solar typically pay for the upfront cost in about 10 years. After that, you will save significantly on your electricity bill.

Generating on-site solar electricity provides long-term predictability and allows you to more reliably budget your electric bill from year to year.

Residential solar development is labor-intensive, so it creates lots of local jobs. Solar creates 15 jobs for every 100 households that participate. These are good-paying, living wage careers that do not require a college degree.

Participating in Solarize Greater Philadelphia will keep the dollars you spend here in your own city, and will help us train the next generation of solar installers and developers.

Solar energy reduces the need for dirtier, non-renewable energy. It cuts carbon emissions, helping Philadelphia meet its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, and lowers your environmental footprint.

Solar energy reduces our reliance on fossil fuel-generated electricity that contributes to air and water pollution. Shifting to solar energy helps to improve air quality, reducing rates of asthma and other serious health conditions.

Investing in solar energy demonstrates a commitment to environmental and community health, signaling that your organization embodies these values. Going solar also reflects favorably upon your organization in the eyes of your employees and your constituents, clients and/or members and the larger community.
