Pittsburgh homeowners served by Duquesne Light often assume the city's famously cloudy winters make solar a poor fit — but modern high-efficiency panels produce meaningful power even on overcast days, and Pittsburgh averages over 160 sunny days per year. The city's hillside neighborhoods feature steeply pitched roofs that actually improve winter solar angles, and Allegheny County's large stock of 1940s–1960s brick homes are structurally ideal for solar retrofits. Duquesne Light's net metering program credits you at the full retail rate, making the math work year-round.
Pittsburgh residents served by Duquesne Light have seen consistent rate increases over the past several years. With average monthly bills of $155/mo, a properly sized solar system can dramatically reduce or eliminate your electric costs for 25+ years.
Pennsylvania's net metering law requires Duquesne Light to credit you at the full retail rate for every kilowatt-hour your panels send to the grid. Combined with PA's property and sales tax exemptions, going solar in Pittsburgh has never made more financial sense.
