Solar Installation for Chambersburg Homeowners
Electric service in the Chambersburg area depends on where you live: addresses inside the borough are served by the Borough of Chambersburg's municipal electric department, while surrounding townships (Greene, Hamilton, Letterkenny, Antrim) are served by West Penn Power. Pennsylvania's net metering program applies to investor-owned utilities like West Penn Power; the borough utility has its own interconnection process, which we handle on your behalf. The borough's mix of older and mid-century homes typically have roof structures that handle panel installations with ease, and Franklin County's relatively low shading means most residential roofs enjoy strong all-day solar access.
Lifestyle Solar extends its regional reach to Chambersburg, bringing experienced installers who know the difference between borough and West Penn Power interconnection paperwork. We design each system around the home's specific energy profile and handle the right utility application for your address, so Chambersburg families maximize savings from day one.

Every step of your Chambersburg solar installation
From the first visit to the day your system turns on, here is what actually happens.
1. On-site assessment
We visit your Chambersburg property, walk the roof, check the electrical panel, and review 12 months of your Borough of Chambersburg bills. No charge, no obligation.
2. Engineered system design
Our engineers size the array to your actual usage and design panel placement around shading, roof orientation, and structural load. You see the plan before anything is ordered.
3. Permits and interconnection
We file the local building permit with Franklin County and the interconnection application with Borough of Chambersburg. You sign once; we handle the back-and-forth.
4. Installation
Most Chambersburg installs are completed in one day on the roof. Larger or complex systems may take additional time. Our crew is in and out the same week we start.
5. Inspection and activation
Franklin County or city inspectors sign off, Borough of Chambersburg swaps or reprograms your meter, and the system turns on. We are there for both steps.
6. Monitoring setup
Before we leave, your phone is connected to the production app. You can see daily kilowatt-hours, panel-level performance, and any alerts the moment they appear.
