Fortunately, there are energy sources which are environmentally friendly, the sun in particular. Scientific advances have allowed for the development of state of the art techniques and products which allow us to harvest the sun’s rays. Of these, solar photovoltaic panels offer homeowners a specific opportunity to save money while caring for our environment.

Once cost prohibitive for the average homeowner, thanks to enlightened state and federal authorities, today’s systems offer greater opportunity for our citizenry than ever before. Pennsylvania, in particular, has enacted Act 213 into law.

The various stipulations of Act 213 are very technical in detail. In simple form, the act provides tax and/or rebate advantages to both businesses and homeowners to offset the expense of a solar system’s purchase. Once installed, the system effects a substantial reduction in a user’s electric bill. The combined benefit, in a few short years, re-pays the homeowner or business for the purchase cost of the system. After which, the user pockets the savings in his electric bill!!

And, the sun never raises its prices !

In the coming weeks Keystone Energy will continue to develop this section of our web site. All effort will be made to avoid overly technical jargon. Rather, we hope to reduce the complex language of Act 213 to everyday words, and we plan to display investment pay back charts so you may better understand the great opportunity which is provided for you.

One important fact you should know – A program quite similar to Act 213 proved immensely successful in Florida recently. So successful, in fact, that the moneys allocated by the state were consumed by Florida residents and businesses within three short years. Florida now has additional allocations under consideration. Point being, this opportunity in Pennsylvania is now available and home owners are advised to consider carefully the potential advantages of a solar photovoltaic system and take action as soon as reasonably practical.
