With roughly 64,000 residents, the township is known for its historic stone homes, top-rated school district, and leafy residential streets along the Main Line. Large roof footprints and high electricity consumption make Lower Merion an ideal market for residential solar. ## Solar in Lower Merion PECO provides electric service throughout Lower Merion, and many of the township's larger colonial and Tudor-style homes draw substantial electricity for heating and cooling. Pennsylvania's net metering rules let homeowners offset those costs by feeding excess solar production back to the grid. The township's Historic Architectural Review Board oversees certain districts, but modern low-profile panels integrate well with most approved aesthetics. ## Battery Backup for Lower Merion Estates Lower Merion's larger homes consume substantially more electricity than regional averages, and multi-battery configurations are usually what makes meaningful backup possible.
