Why Go Solar?
You already use solar energy indirectly from Dominion and AEP, but you’re not getting a financial benefit. Bills are expected to rise about 12% each year for the next ten years. Switching to solar can help you save.

Right now, you’re stuck in a relationship with your power company—forever—unless you go solar. You already use solar energy indirectly, but you’re not benefiting financially.
​
Dominion and Appalachian Power aim to be 55% carbon neutral by 2030, and fully carbon neutral by 2045–2050. They’re building massive solar and wind projects to get there, costing billions—and your electric bill is paying for it. In fact, bills are expected to rise about 12% each year for the next five years.
​
Until recently, you could see these costs itemized, but now they’re hidden. Going solar lets you take control, save money, and benefit directly from clean energy instead of funding utility projects.
The Benefits of Solar Power
Solar power is a renewable, clean energy source that offers both environmental and financial benefits. By installing solar panels on your home, you can generate your own electricity, reducing your dependence on the grid and shielding yourself from rising utility costs. Over time, this can lead to significant savings on your electricity bills, making solar a smart long-term investment.
​
In addition to saving money, solar energy helps reduce your carbon footprint by producing electricity without harmful emissions. Every kilowatt-hour of solar power you generate is a step toward a cleaner, greener planet. With solar panels, you’re not just powering your home—you’re also contributing to a sustainable future while enjoying energy independence.
Net Metering and Cost Savings
When electricity leaves a power plant, it starts at 100% capacity, but by the time it reaches your home, only about 70% of that energy actually arrives due to transmission losses. Despite this, you’re still being billed for the full amount, paying for electricity you never actually use. This inefficiency is something most homeowners are unaware of—but solar power can change that.
​
With solar panels and net metering, you can generate your own electricity and receive credits for any excess energy your system produces. In Virginia, the net metering ratio is 1:1, meaning every kilowatt-hour of extra energy your panels create is credited directly to your account. These credits can significantly offset your electricity costs and help you take full advantage of the energy your system generates.

Fixed Monthly Cost of Solar
When you choose to go solar, you have the opportunity to lock in a fixed monthly cost for your electricity, giving you control and predictability over your energy expenses. Our solar loans are currently available at a low fixed rate of 3.99%, making it easier than ever to budget for your energy needs while avoiding the uncertainty of rising utility rates, which are projected to increase around 12% year over year.
​
This fixed rate not only protects you from unexpected rate hikes but also allows you to plan your finances with confidence, knowing exactly what your electricity costs will be each month. Combined with the long-term savings from generating your own solar energy, this makes solar a financially smart and stable choice for homeowners.
