Belmont Solar and its founder Ben Zook were recently featured in an article in The Times, the oldest national daily newspaper in the United Kingdom, for leading a solar energy revolution within the Amish community in Pennsylvania. In addition to telling our Amish founder’s story of becoming an electrician with a focus on solar energy, it discusses the positive impact of Belmont Solar on the Amish community, which has started adopting solar power to maintain an off-grid, sustainable lifestyle. Although the article mentions that Belmont Solar currently “installs solar panels at around 90 local homes [every year], most of which are Amish families,” it doesn’t touch on our wider solar services across Pennsylvania and Maryland or why more and more people are choosing to go solar with us each year. 

At Belmont Solar, we recognize that every home or business has unique energy needs, which is why we offer custom solar solutions for each of our customers. Whether you want to connect your solar system to the grid with a grid-tied system, keep your solar system separate with an off-grid system, or combine the two in a hybrid system, we provide the best solution for you. If you’re not sure what would be best, our friendly team of solar specialists can answer all the questions you may have and provide support before, during, and after your solar installation.

Regardless of whether you want to go fully off-grid or not, generating your own solar energy is one of the best ways to lower your energy bills as well as your carbon footprint. We handle all the necessary paperwork, and our experts make sure you get all the financial benefits of going solar, including potential Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), subsidies, and tax rebates. As solar technology continues to improve, solar systems are cheaper to install and provide more value than ever before!
