Why Wheeling Homeowners Are Going Solar in 2026

If you’re a homeowner in Wheeling, Ohio County, there’s never been a better time to go solar. Electricity rates from Mon Power have been climbing — the current average is 14.45¢ per kWh, and most Wheeling households pay around $128/month. That’s money going to the utility with nothing to show for it.

A typical Wheeling home needs a 8 kW system to offset most electricity usage. Over 25 years, that’s estimated savings of $32,000+ — before the 30% Federal Tax Credit (~$8,000 back).

Wheeling homeowners are discovering that solar works well even in the Northern Panhandle’s climate. Modern high-efficiency panels produce significant energy year-round.
