The township's mature neighborhoods feature mid-century colonials, Cape Cods, and split-levels on spacious lots with excellent solar access. Abington's proximity to Philadelphia gives residents big-city amenities with suburban roof space perfect for solar arrays. ## Solar in Abington 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. ## 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. ## Why Lifestyle Solar Lifestyle Solar delivers a turnkey experience for Abington homeowners, from custom system design to coordinating inspections with the township and PECO.
