What Media homeowners actually pay for power
Media homeowners in Delaware County are typically served by PECO. PECO customers pay about 20.0¢ per kilowatt-hour all-in — supply plus delivery plus riders, not the supply rate alone. That number is the reason most Media homeowners start comparing solar: every kilowatt-hour your roof produces is one you stop buying at that price.
See the full breakdown on our PECO rate page, or compare every utility in the state on Pennsylvania electric rates.
Why Pennsylvania rates keep climbing
Every Pennsylvania utility buys wholesale power from the same regional grid operator. When capacity prices
rise there, they land on PECO bills and on every other utility in the state at roughly the same time.
Data-center demand is arriving faster than new generation is being built, and that gap is what shows up
on your bill — it is not something PECO sets on its own.
Solar changes the arithmetic because it fixes part of your cost. A power purchase agreement in Media
means no upfront payment: we install and own the system, you buy the power it produces at a set rate,
and you keep buying the rest from PECO as normal.
What solar costs in Media
It depends on your home, so SolarAmerica answers it for your roof in a free consultation. What
decides it is your usage, your roof orientation and shading, and the 20.0¢
rate you pay PECO today. If your roof does not work, we say so on the first call rather than after you sign.
$0-down options are available for qualifying Delaware County homeowners. The federal residential purchase
credit ended for systems bought after December 31, 2025, so anyone still advertising it is running an
old ad — what remains in Pennsylvania is net metering and, for PPAs, the credit stays with the system owner.
Common questions from Media homeowners
Who is my electric utility in Media?
Most of Delaware County is PECO territory. Your bill will name your utility at the top; if it does not match,
call us at (832) 263-8055 and we will check your address against the service map.
Does solar still make sense now that the federal credit ended?
For a PPA, yes — the credit belongs to the system owner, which is us, not you. That is what makes
$0 down possible. For a purchase, the math changed in 2026 and we will show you the honest version.
What happens if I sell my house?
A PPA transfers to the buyer. We handle the paperwork, and the new owner takes over the same rate.
How long does an install take in Media?
Installation is typically one to three days. Permits with your township and interconnection with PECO
take longer and we handle both.
