Among the newest offerings of Philadelphia Solar, M144(HCBF) is part of the 540W Wholesale series. These panels use state-of-the-art technology to achieve high efficiency and dependability. This panel takes full advantage of the Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) technology that allows it to capture up to 12% more energy. All thanks to a reflective layer on the back. This design maximizes the number of photons absorbed by solar cells.
The use of half-cut cell technology is an additional perk. The solar cells of M144(HCBF) are half the size of those found in standard panels. Major advantages include reduced power consumption, extended life and enhanced efficiency in low-light conditions. At 21.3% efficiency, M144(HCBF) offers surprising performance for its weight and size. And while conventional panels use only one side to absorb photons, bifacial modules employ both sides at the same time. Thanks to the technology, this model can be up to 30% more efficient. Novel design solutions allow this panel to look as well as it performs. This model is just 1.38" in depth and is jet black with a sleek finish. The panel's functionality and durability are not affected by its aesthetic appeal though. Philadelphia Solar paid as much attention to durability as they did to performance. M144(HCBF) is guaranteed to retain at least 87.5% of output after 25 years. Product warranty for this panel lasts 12 years.
This Philadelphia Solar panel produces 540 W of power at 21.3 percent efficiency. High levels of energy output are reached by utilizing the most recent innovations in the solar sector. A more efficient panel produces more per square foot and pays for itself sooner.
Excellent temperature coefficient means more energy as temperature rises. Every 1.8°F hike above 77°F will decrease your panel’s efficiency by only -0.35%.
M144(HCBF) undergoes various quality checks during the production process and is subjected to serious quality and reliability testing. Manufacturing facilities are highly automated, removing the possibility of human errors. Philadelphia Solar is committed to quality, safety, and dependability to ensure you get the finest.
The amount of power output loss experienced by these panels during the first year of operation will not exceed 0.5%. The average yearly power drop from the second to the 25th year will not surpass 0.50%. After 25 years, the module will still produce more than 87.5% of its initial output.
PID, salt, acid and ammonia cannot harm M144(HCBF). Furthermore, it has a mechanical load resistance of up to 5400 Pa in the front and 2400 Pa in the back. A layer of protective glass and 1.38" thick anodized aluminum frame are the primary reasons for its toughness.
The panel has a sleek, all-black style that complements any roof beautifully. Philadelphia Solar uses unique treatment and selection procedures to guarantee optimum cell color. The cells are connected by thinner wires, and from a distance, the surface of the modules seems seamless and smooth.

Philadelphia Solar stands as the premier local solar provider in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, specializing in premium solar panel installations tailored specifically for Pennsylvania's unique climate and regulatory environment. With deep roots in the Philadelphia community and extensive knowledge of local utility requirements, we deliver customized solar solutions that maximize energy production and savings for area homeowners.
Our comprehensive approach combines cutting-edge solar technology with local market expertise, ensuring optimal system performance year-round despite Philadelphia's varied seasonal conditions. Philadelphia's four distinct seasons create unique solar opportunities, and proper system design maximizes year-round energy production effectively.
As of August 2025, the average solar panel system costs $2.97/W including installation in Philadelphia, PA. For a 5 kW installation, this comes out to about $14,853 before incentives. After applying the federal tax credit, homeowners typically invest $13,580 on a 5 kW system in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after tax incentives.
Our data shows an a 7 kW system is the best size for Philadelphia residents. This is because people in Philadelphia consume 771 kWh per month of energy. System sizing depends on your home's energy consumption, roof space, and energy goals. For Philadelphia, you can use $3.88 per watt to determine the price of a larger system (system size x price per watt x 0.7 to account for tax incentives).
Philadelphia Solar offers comprehensive philadelphia solar company financing options including cash purchases for maximum long-term savings, solar loans with competitive interest rates, and flexible financing options like solar loans, home equity loans, leases, and PACE financing. Some companies even offer $0-down loans so you can start saving on day one if your loan payments are less than your current electric bills.
The federal tax credit reduces this price by 30%, but only for systems installed by December 31, 2025. Starting January 1, 2026, this incentive disappears entirely—meaning you'll pay full price for solar installations. This represents significant savings that won't be available after 2025.
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs): These certificates allow you to earn credits for the electricity your solar panels generate. Utilities purchase these credits to meet renewable energy requirements. This can provide a valuable income stream, as each megawatt-hour of electricity produced by your solar system generates one SREC, which you can sell. Learn more about how portfolio energy credits (PECs) work and how they can also provide financial benefits.
Philadelphia has net metering. Pennsylvania utilities including PECO and PPL offer 1:1 net metering, meaning you receive full retail credit for excess solar energy sent to the grid. Each kilowatt-hour your philadelphia solar panels send to the grid earns you a credit on your electric bill.
Pennsylvania electricity rates jumped from 13.8 cents per kWh in 2021 to 18.1 cents in 2023, outpacing national averages consistently. Solar panels generate your own electricity, protecting Philadelphia homeowners from these rising utility costs while reducing monthly energy bills. Over 25 years, solar systems can save thousands of dollars while providing predictable energy costs regardless of future utility rate increases.

— Philadelphia Customer Review
"After a year with solar panels, Stephanie in Philadelphia said their electric bill is $0 in the summer and about half what it used to be in the winter."
Our data shows solar panels can range from $8,148 for a 3 kW system to $19,012 for an 7 kW system after tax credits. Total costs depend on panel brand, inverter type, installation company, and system size. Learn more about solar panel costs in 2025.
The best ways to pay for solar panels include using cash or finding a loan with a good interest rate. We recommend avoiding power purchase agreements or solar panel lease programs since these reduce your savings significantly.
