Check My Savings →What New Castle homeowners actually pay for power
New Castle sits in Lawrence County, where most homes are served by Penn Power. Penn Power rates move on the same PJM wholesale market that drives every Pennsylvania utility, which is why bills across the state rose together rather than one at a time.
We publish the full Pennsylvania rate picture — supply, delivery and riders — on our Pennsylvania electric rates page. Check your own bill for your exact rate; Penn Power does not publish a single all-in number.
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 Penn Power 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 Penn Power sets on its own.
Solar changes the arithmetic because it fixes part of your cost. A power purchase agreement in New Castle 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 Penn Power as normal.
What solar costs in New Castle
There is no single answer, and any site giving you one without seeing your roof is guessing. What decides it is your usage, your roof orientation and shading, and the current rate you pay Penn Power 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 Lawrence 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 New Castle homeowners
Who is my electric utility in New Castle?
Most of Lawrence County is Penn Power 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 New Castle?
Installation is typically one to three days. Permits with your township and interconnection with Penn Power take longer and we handle both.

Solar Incentives & Net Metering in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania's Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard (AEPS) includes a solar carve-out, so qualifying systems can earn Pennsylvania SRECs that carry market value, and net metering is available statewide. With PECO and PPL rates climbing, solar is an increasingly practical hedge for Pennsylvania homeowners. Net metering credits you for the surplus solar power your panels send to the grid — you bank credits by day and draw them back at night, for a lower, more predictable monthly bill.
In Pennsylvania, net metering runs through utilities like PECO, PPL, Duquesne Light, Met-Ed, and West Penn Power. See the full breakdown on our Pennsylvania solar page, or learn why your electric bill keeps rising.
