Why Switch to Solar?
Cost
Cutting
The statistic you ACTUALLY care about... we know this is the green that really matters.
We can cut your bill in half with no upfront costs, then you get paid every month for producing energy.
Increased Home
Value
Statistically speaking... solar increases your home's value up to 5% in Virginia. We even Pearl Certify your home so future buyers know the value.
The Big Three
-
What if I need a new roof?The Federal Tax credit covers 30% of the cost of a new roof. We have some of the lowest roof quotes in the industry when combining with solar (and then you get 30% off of THAT). Read more about the tax credit here.
-
Do I need a battery?Only if you lose power frequently. Otherwise, Net Metering is like a virtual battery with your utility company. Take our quiz to find out if a battery is a good fit!
-
How long do the panels last?We use premium monocrystalline panels that have a 25 year warranty. However, these bad boys have a degradation rate of .5% a year. So technically, they can last 50+ years.
-
When is Geothermal heating and cooling a good idea?If you are looking at transitioning from gas to electric in your home, Geothermal is the most cost & energy effective way to do it. The upfront cost is higher than a standard electric heat pump, however the energy savings pay for itself in about 10 years.
-
What do the solar panels look like?Sleek, black, and sexy...
-
How will the installation affect my roof?We use high grade Iron Ridge racking systems that have a unique design to make leaks almost impossible. Watch this video to learn more: https://youtu.be/-qN5dwEumCM

How long does it take after I sign up for solar?It takes about 3-4 months depending on your county and utility company timelines for permit and interconnection approval. See more here:
Options For Owning Your System
Cash
You always have the option of purchasing your own system with cash. Typically in Virginia, the return on investment term is between 7 to 12 years depending on the efficiency of your system. This option avoids all financing fees.
Financing
We work with different solar financiers to provide you payment options catered to match your priorities.
We replace your electric bill with your new solar payment, allowing you to save money the very first month of going solar. There's no upfront costs with this option, and you own the system!
PPA or Lease
You can go solar without taking out any loan, paying any money, or having to worry about even owning the system. We simply take your electric rate, and lower it...
That's IT. You have cheaper electricity, and let the incentives do the work. Anyone with a 650+ credit automatically get's approved for this program.

Intro Call
This 10 minute call is where we get to know each other and explain the basics of solar. We'll also start to evaluate if solar is a good fit for you.

After about 3-4 months, we'll have your interconnection approval and permits back from your utility and county.
Installation takes 1 - 3 days.

After your new system gets inspected and approved, your utility company will send you a PTO letter. This is when your mini power plant is turned on!

Once we've identified the best option for you, it's time to sign some paperwork! We'll then schedule a site survey and begin our engineering process.
