The area's hillside terrain provides many homes with elevated positioning and clear sightlines to the sun. ## Solar in Scranton PPL Electric Utilities serves Scranton and the greater Lackawanna County area. Homes here include Victorian-era architecture near the downtown, post-war colonials in the Hill Section, and newer builds in surrounding townships like Clarks Summit. Net metering through PPL allows Scranton homeowners to turn their roof into a tool for long-term cost management. ## Battery Storage for Scranton's Winter Outages Scranton's mountain terrain and heavy winter storms create conditions where PPL outages can last from hours to days, especially in elevated neighborhoods. A cold-rated battery keeps the household's essential circuits running through extended grid failures. We install temperature-controlled enclosures and size capacity for the longer winter nights and reduced solar production here. ## Why Lifestyle Solar Lifestyle Solar serves Scranton homeowners with the same standards we maintain across all our Pennsylvania markets.
