What can we upgrade for you?
Why Solar Bear
Power that pays you back — for decades.
Every month you pay the utility, you're renting power at a price that only goes up. We help you own it instead. A Solar Bear system turns your roof or land into a quiet, durable asset that produces clean energy for 25+ years.
- Protection from rising utility rates and grid uncertainty
- 1-to-1 net metering credit on every kilowatt-hour you send back
- Backup power that keeps your lights on when the grid goes down
- Designed, permitted, and installed by our own team — start to finish

What we do
One team for every kind of solar.
From a single rooftop to a working solar farm, we engineer systems around how you actually use energy.
Commercial & industrial
Rooftop, carport, and ground arrays that cut overhead and unlock major federal tax incentives for your business.
Battery storage
Store the sun for after dark. Keep critical circuits powered through outages with seamless battery backup.
EV charging
Level 2 home and workplace chargers wired to your solar, so you can fuel your car with your own sunshine.
Solar farms
Utility-scale and community arrays — from land assessment and engineering through interconnection and commissioning.
ADT security installation
Professional installation of ADT smart security — alarms, cameras, and 24/7 monitoring to protect your home and family.
2026 incentives
The numbers still work — if you know where to look.
Federal rules changed in 2026. We keep our guidance current so you only count on incentives that are real for your address and project.
$225–$400per year in PA SREC income (typical home)
Pennsylvania pays you for the clean energy you produce. Each Solar Renewable Energy Credit sells for roughly $25–$40, and a typical home earns 9–10 every year.
1-to-1net metering credit
Every kilowatt-hour you send to the grid offsets one you pull back — at full retail value — with all of Pennsylvania's major utilities.
30%federal credit + bonus depreciation (commercial)
Businesses and farms can still capture the 30% federal ITC plus 100% bonus depreciation. A project that starts now has to be placed in service by December 31, 2027 to qualify, so the design and permit clock is the whole game.
Heads-up: the federal residential 30% tax credit (Section 25D) ended for homeowner-owned systems installed after Dec 31, 2025. We'll show you exactly which incentives apply to your situation in 2026 — no outdated promises.

Common questions
Questions we get on every first call.
Plain answers. If yours is not here, call (570) 500-2327 and ask.
What does Solar Bear Energy do?
We design and install solar and battery storage, EV charging, ADT security systems, ductless mini splits, and roofing for homes, farms, and businesses. One team handles the design, the permits, and the install with our own crews, so you make one call for all of it.
Where do you work?
We are based in Milford, Pennsylvania and install across Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. If you are not sure whether we cover your town, call (570) 500-2327 and ask.
What does it cost to find out if solar makes sense for my house?
Nothing. The consultation is free and there is no obligation. We look at your electric use, your roof or land, and what you want out of it, then tell you whether solar is worth it for you. If it is not, we say so.
Is the 30 percent federal solar tax credit still available in 2026?
Not for a system you buy for your own home. That credit ended for homeowner-owned systems installed after December 31, 2025. Businesses and farms may still qualify for the commercial credit, and a lease or PPA can still carry federal value into a home project through 2027. We map exactly what applies at your address before you sign anything. This is general guidance, not tax advice.
What incentives do still apply where I live?
In Pennsylvania, SRECs pay you for the power you produce, roughly $25 to $40 per credit and 9 to 10 credits a year for a typical home, and net metering credits you one for one for every kilowatt-hour you send back. New York has a 25 percent state tax credit up to $5,000 plus NY-Sun incentives. New Jersey has the SuSI program and sales and property tax exemptions. Programs change, so we confirm the current numbers for your address.
Should I own my system or sign a lease or PPA?
For most homeowners, owning comes out ahead. You keep the SRECs, the net metering credits, and the state tax credits, and the system becomes an asset instead of another monthly bill. A lease or PPA costs nothing up front and the provider handles maintenance, but the provider owns the system, keeps the incentives, and the payment often rises with an annual escalator. We model both for your house and show you the numbers side by side.
Can I go solar with no money down?
Yes, for qualified homeowners. We work with Atmos on unsecured loans for renewable energy projects, so you can own the system without a large payment up front and lock in what you pay for power.
How long does a solar installation take?
The crew is usually on your roof for one to three days. The whole project takes weeks, because your township's plan review and your utility's interconnection review each have their own queue and neither moves on our schedule. We tell you where you are in each queue, and we will not promise a switch-on date at signing.
What equipment do you install, and is there anything you do not service?
We install and service EG4, Sol-Ark, SMA, SolarEdge, Sungrow, SunPower, APsmart, Generac, Enphase, and Fortress Power. Which of those ends up on your house depends on the roof, the shading, your electrical service, and whether backup power is in the plan. We do not service Tesla systems, and we say so on the first call.
What warranties come with a system?
Up to a 25-year warranty on the equipment and a 10-year warranty on our workmanship. After the install we keep monitoring the system, and you have real people to call for the life of it.
Do you replace and repair roofs?
Yes, with our own crews. Asphalt shingle and standing-seam metal, full tear-off replacements and repairs. If a repair will hold, we say so and do the repair. We come out, look at the whole roof including the attic, and put the number in writing. Most homes take one to two days. If solar is in your plans, we build the roof for it so the panels go on once.
Do you install ductless mini splits?
Yes. Cold-climate mini splits that heat when it is below zero and cool in July, with no ductwork. One outdoor unit and one or more indoor heads, each room on its own setting. We size each head to the room and our own electricians do the wiring. A single room is usually done in a day.
Do you install ADT security systems?
Yes. We install ADT-monitored systems: door and motion sensors, cameras, and round-the-clock monitoring. It can be part of a whole-home project with solar, heating and cooling, and roofing, or on its own.
