Benefits of Solar in Richmond
Cost Savings
Traditional utilities have a history of ever increasing rates that keep rising with seemingly nothing you can do about it. Having solar for your home or business can significantly reduce your monthly electricity cost over time, hedging inflation while adding an “end date” to a significant portion of your electric cost. With federal Incentive Tax Credits, Federal Grants for small businesses, State Incentives (SRECs) stemming from the Virginia Clean Economy Act, and new programs for residential customers in mid 2024 (PPAs and Leases), there has never been a better time to look at solar in Virginia.
Energy Independence
By generating your own electricity, you reduce your reliance on the grid and protect yourself from rising energy costs. Adding storage from batteries allows you system to keep your system going during local outages and keep your family safe and comfortable. To find out the best energy storage solution for your family’s needs, consult with a member of our Charlottesville team.
Environmental Impact
With a minimal carbon footprint, and an end of life recyclability, solar is one of the most environmentally positive things you can do when it makes sense for you home. When adding to your roof or a ground mount in your yard, you are not only offsetting the electrical use of your home from a space rarely used for anything, but also reducing the production needs of fossil fuel energy.

Get Exciting Incentives for Solar Installation in 2024-2025!
Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is currently a 30% federal tax credit claimed against the tax liability of a residential or commercial solar energy property. The residential ITC allows the homeowner to apply the credit to their personal income taxes. This credit is used when homeowners purchase solar systems and have them installed on their homes.
A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the income taxes that a person or company would otherwise pay the federal government.
The ITC is based on the amount of the solar project investment for the property.
State Incentives
Virginia offers various incentives, including grants for small businesses and rebates such as the SRECs, to encourage the adoption of solar energy. Your solar expert will explain the ones that apply to your situation.
Net Metering
This program allows you to credit excess electricity generated by your solar panels back to the grid and be stored in your utility account for when you need that excess. Most of Virginia utilities operate in a 1 for 1 ratio of net metering. During the consult, your local expert will explain how net metering works for your specific utility.
