Solar installations in Richmond

There’s a long history of independence here in Richmond, Virginia. In 1775, Founding Father Patrick Henry famously declared, “Give me liberty or give me death!” at St. John’s Church in Richmond.

It’s been a long time since those now-infamous words were spoken, but their spirit has prevailed among Virginians. Today, more and more Virginia residents are seizing a different kind of liberty for themselves with home solar panels. 

Solar panels give you freedom from your utility company and put you in control of your own power production, so you don’t have to rely on anyone else for one of the most important resources in modern life—electricity. Solar Energy Solutions is the leading local solar installer in Richmond, VA, and we make it easy to make the switch.

Virginia Solar Incentives & Financing

Federal Solar Tax Credit 

The federal solar tax credit will save you 30% on your total solar panel and battery installation costs, making solar panels significantly more affordable for homeowners and businesses. 

Net Metering in Virginia 

Net metering is an agreement between you and your utility company that allows you to sell the excess electricity your solar panels produce to your utility in exchange for a credit to your account. You can use your net metering credit to pay for the electricity you buy from the grid at night or anytime your solar panels are not producing enough electricity. 

Net metering is not available in every state, but Virginia offers one of the best net metering systems in the country. With net metering in VA, you’ll be credited at the full retail rate of electricity for the solar power you send to the grid. 

Solar REAP Grants 

Agricultural businesses and rural small businesses are eligible for USDA solar REAP (Rural Energy for America Program) grants worth up to 50% of the total project cost for solar panel installation and loan guarantees on loans up to 75% of total eligible project costs. You can stack REAP incentives with the 30% federal solar tax credit for huge savings!
