Solar Installation for Kettering Homeowners
AES Ohio (formerly DP&L) provides electricity to Kettering, where summer cooling and winter heating drive substantial residential bills. The city's housing stock is dominated by mid-century ranches, split-levels, and Cape Cods with simple gable roofs well suited for panel placement. Ohio's net metering program allows Kettering homeowners to earn credits for surplus generation and stabilize monthly costs.
Lifestyle Solar handles AES Ohio interconnection paperwork and Montgomery County permitting so Kettering homeowners can focus on savings. Our team has deep experience working in the Dayton metro and understands the local requirements. From site assessment to final inspection, we deliver professional service and transparent pricing.

Every step of your Kettering 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 Kettering property, walk the roof, check the electrical panel, and review 12 months of your AES Ohio 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 Montgomery County and the interconnection application with AES Ohio. You sign once; we handle the back-and-forth.
4. Installation
Most Kettering 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
Montgomery County or city inspectors sign off, AES Ohio 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.
