Why Switch To Solar with Dominion Energy Solutions?

Curious if solar makes sense for you? Since 2021, the State of Virginia has planned to generate a huge amount of solar energy systems (more than 2500 megawatts worth, to be exact), which will be more than enough to light up around 280,000 properties. According to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), this figure is only going to increase

Many homeowners in Virgnia Beach and other surrounding counties wonder if switching to solar energy is worth the cost. Thankfully, there has been legislation that have been passed in the state of Virginia which supports the growth of cleaner, renewable energy across the Commonwealth.

Backed by Dominion Energy

Unique in its own kind, Dominion Energy Solutions is backed by Dominion Energy, a well-known brand that has been providing excellent service in the area for a long time. Not only can you get competitive prices and the knowledge of a trusted and long-standing brand with the innovation and energy of a start-up.

We already have installed more than 2,000 systems across the state of Virginia, clearly showcasing our experience and expertise in the solar industry.

Sunshine Stats in Virginia Beach

Another great reason to go solar in Virginia is because of the amount of sunshine the region receives. Our state receives over 200 days of sunshine throughout the year, and Virginia Beach sees 213 days of direct sunlight. Needless to say this amount of direct sunlight can only help you produce a great amount of solar energy through your panels.

Virginia Has Great Solar Incentives
The 2020 Virginia Clean Economy Act (VCEA) created a Clean Energy Standard which offers local Virginia residents several options and incentives to switch to renewable energy sources to power their homes.

The VCEA allows Virginia residential and commercial property owners to install solar at a lower cost and save money on their energy production.

Below are programs available to VA residents to help you install a solar energy system in your property, while saving money at the same time:

Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) — These can be purchased by electric companies or corporations directly from solar owners and can help them avoid paying fines and reach their set sustainability goals. This can provide solar panel owners with extra money from their solar system, which can help them pay off their solar installation much quicker.
Net Metering — This is another excellent incentive available to home solar energy installations in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The net metering service offered by Dominion Energy allows property owners to sell back to the grid the excess electricity that has been generated by the solar panels, which can be used as a credit on future utility bills.
Solar Investment Tax Credit — The US government is incentivizing property owners who are switching to solar with tax credits. The current credit is set at a healthy 30%.
Solar Rights and Easements — This is a type of legislation that can allow property owners to get rid of any shade cover or interference that could decrease your solar panels’ efficiency in terms of generating power. It can also help in case the HOA (homeowner associations) tries to block a solar panel system being installed on your property.
Net Metering
Net Metering is a very useful option that allows property owners with a solar system installed to sell back their excess electricity produced by their panels to the grid, generating a credit that can be used towards future bills.
Homeowners can take advantage of net metering. Previously, the legislation had a participation cap of 1% of the electricity on the grid, but thankfully the VCEA was able to increase it to 6%.

As it stands, less than 1% of the electricity on the grid is currently produced by solar energy for most of the state of Virginia, but clearly, with the recent boom in solar energy, this is only bound to increase in the years to come.
