## Frequently asked questions

### What's the price range for solar installation in Lackawanna County?

Individual prices may vary greatly. Equipment, roof complexity, promotions, financing, and site-specific work can all change what you pay. The information that follows is general illustration only, not a quote or guarantee. Pricing for solar installation across Lackawanna County reflects factors like panel count, inverter type, and any electrical upgrades your home needs. Cash projects often fall near $2.50–$3.50 per watt installed, and PA cash buyers also earn SREC income over the system's life. Most Scranton homeowners take our $0-down PPA, a fixed monthly rate built to be less than the utility's, with no upfront cost. Your written proposal is what counts.

### What roof types work best for solar in Scranton?

If your roof is less than 15 years old and gets at least 4 hours of direct sunlight, it's almost certainly a good candidate. We use satellite imagery and on-site surveys to model your Scranton roof's specific production potential before recommending a system size.

### Do I need a new roof before installing solar in Scranton?

If your roof has more than 10 years of life remaining, solar can typically be installed right away. We inspect every roof during our free assessment. If repairs or replacement are needed, we can coordinate timing with trusted roofing partners so your new roof and solar system are sequenced efficiently.

### What happens during a solar installation at my Scranton 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 Scranton installs take about one day of roof work, but outliers based on system size and complexity might take additional time. We then coordinate PPL inspection and meter activation.

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

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