## About solar in Elk County

Penelec provides electric service to Elk County. Properties with cleared land or south-facing rooftops can harness solar energy effectively, even in this heavily forested region of the state.

Elk County's small residential communities around St. Marys and Ridgway feature homes on cleared lots within the heavily forested Allegheny National Forest region. Penelec provides electricity under FirstEnergy, supporting net metering for residential solar. Properties with south-facing rooftops or cleared land can achieve effective solar production despite surrounding forest canopy. Pennsylvania's SREC program (cash buyers only) and net metering credits provide Elk County homeowners meaningful financial returns from system installations.
