# Solar Installation in Plum, PA

## Overview

Plum Borough sits east of Pittsburgh between Monroeville and Murrysville, a community of roughly 27,000 spread across rolling terrain that blends suburban subdivisions with pockets of wooded acreage. Homes off New Texas Road, Center New Texas Road, and the Holiday Park neighborhood tend to be 1970s and 1980s splits and two-stories with the pitched roofs that solar layouts prefer.

## Solar in Plum

Duquesne Light serves Plum. The borough's housing stock has reasonably modern roofs and electrical panels, which keeps the install scope predictable. Pennsylvania's net metering policy credits excess solar production at the retail rate against Plum homeowners' monthly bills — the long-running policy that makes residential solar pencil out in this part of the state.

## Why Lifestyle Solar

Plum is about twenty-five minutes from our office. We install through Plum's permitting office regularly and know the Duquesne Light interconnection process for the eastern suburbs. Same-day site assessments are easy. Post-install service calls are easy. That proximity matters more than most homeowners realize until the first time they need a callback.

## Utility & net metering

Plum is served by Duquesne Light. We handle interconnection paperwork and net-metering enrollment as part of every project in this area.

### Is my roof suitable for solar panels in Plum?

We've installed systems on a wide variety of roof types across Allegheny County. Our site assessment covers structural condition, orientation, and shading from nearby trees or buildings. Even if your roof isn't ideal, ground-mounted systems may be an option for your Plum property.

### What size solar system do I need for my Plum home?

System size depends on your electricity usage and available roof space. The average Plum home needs a 6-10 kW system to offset most of their Duquesne Light bill. We analyze 12 months of your utility data to recommend the optimal size: not too large, not too small.

### What solar equipment does Lifestyle Solar install in Plum?

We use Tier-1 monocrystalline panels and premium inverters from leading manufacturers. Every component is rated for Pennsylvania's climate conditions. Our Plum installations include 25-year panel warranties and 12-year inverter warranties, backed by our own workmanship guarantee.

### What happens during a solar installation at my Plum home?

After engineering designs are finalized and permits are pulled, our crew mounts racking, installs panels, wires the inverter, and connects everything to your electrical panel. Typical Plum installs take about one day of roof work, but outliers based on system size and complexity might take additional time. We then coordinate Duquesne Light inspection and meter activation.
