Solar Battery Backup for Abington Homeowners
PECO provides electricity to Abington, where housing from the 1950s and 1960s along Old York Road and Susquehanna Road often carries higher energy costs due to aging insulation. Solar offsets those elevated bills through Pennsylvania's net metering program, and the township's permitting office processes residential solar applications efficiently. Many Abington homes sit on quarter-acre-plus lots with minimal tree shading on south-facing roof planes.
Lifestyle Solar delivers a turnkey experience for Abington homeowners, from custom system design to coordinating inspections with the township and PECO. Our Pittsburgh roots and regional reach mean Abington families get responsive, local service backed by deep solar engineering expertise.
Battery Backup for Abington Family Homes
Abington's older mid-century homes draw more electricity than newer construction, and battery systems capture that daytime solar surplus for evening use. During PECO interruptions from Montgomery County storms, the battery switches on automatically to power essential circuits. We size to the household's actual loads so refrigeration, lighting, and communications stay running through extended outages.
