At least in Somerset PA. ------ BTW Find the solar panels in the photo of the development with all houses having solar panels. And this has been a very low snow amount winter around here.

"Flyers advertising the development blare in bold capital letters: “ALL UNITS HAVE SOLAR PANELS FOR BETTER ENERGY EFFICIENCY!”
In January 2015, during the permitting phase of the project, developers told The Tribune-Democrat that a resident of a three-bedroom, 1,400-square-foot home in Highland Hills would likely pay around $16 a month for electric service."
"Little, who moved into the development last November, was charged $250.06 in December for consuming 1,765 kilowatt-hours of energy, her bill indicates. (Most of this total comes from Penelec’s distribution charge and price to compare default service, since, according to the list of charges on Little’s bill, Penelec isn’t providing her electricity itself.)
With a $177.39 account balance left over from the previous month’s bill and $1.73 in late payment charges, she was instructed to pay $429.18 by Jan. 3.
In January, Little consumed 2,544 kilowatt-hours and was charged $340.81; in February, she was billed $275.90 for 1,902 kilowatt-hours.
According to U.S. Energy Information Administration data from 2015, residential electric customers in Pennsylvania consume an average of 855 kilowatt-hours per month – less than half the amount of energy Little’s house has ever consumed in any single month – and pay average monthly bills of $116.62."
OTOH at my camp, totally off grid, solar works pretty good. All my panels are mounted vertically
