Why We Need Your Help in Designing Your System
Why Homework Matters
Realistic Placement
We use sophisticated software that layers LIDAR, irradiance mapping, and weather data to design your system. However, photos you provide of your home capture any recent updates or vents that can prevent change orders down the road.
Realistic Pricing
To help you achieve the best return on your investment, we need to understand your current power needs. Your power bill helps us create a solar system that can help meet your energy needs throughout the year.
What We Need from You
1. A Copy of Your Power Bill
First, we need your power bill to provide you with an accurate estimate of how much your solar system can offset your energy usage in a given year. And while we are fully owned and operated by Dominion Energy, we are a separate subsidiary from the utility and don’t have access to your data.
Don’t Have a Paper Bill Handy?
No problem. Getting your bill at DominionEnergy.com is simple. Just log in to your account and click on your latest bill. This is where you can download a PDF that can be sent to us. The same process should work if you are a customer of another energy company based in Virginia.
2. A Picture of Your Electric Panel
Next, we need a picture of your electric panel, otherwise referred to as your breaker box. The picture needs to have the door open so that we can see what capacity remains. In cases where there isn’t much space left, we’ll need to upgrade your panel as part of our installation process.
3. Four Pictures of Your Roof
Finally, please send us pictures of your roof from each direction. Satellite imagery is useful, but your photos are essential. We need images showing the pitch and ventilation pipes from North, South, East, and West angles. Wide-angle shots give a better view of the roof. If certain angles are difficult, share what you can and we’ll discuss the rest.
Pull Back and Take Wide Shots When You Can
