A Smarter Way to Go Solar
You pay nothing upfront. Our solar investors cover the full cost of design, equipment, and installation.
Once installed, you’ll pay less for electricity each month — saving you money from day one.
You get affordable energy. The investor collects clean energy incentives offered by the DC government.
Why DC Residents Qualify for Free Solar
The DC Solar for All and SREC (Solar Renewable Energy Credit) programs make it possible for third-party investors to cover the full cost of solar installation — with zero cost to homeowners. Terrastream Energy partners with vetted solar investors to bring this opportunity to qualified DC households.
