Washington DC Solar Companies

If you're interested in a solar installation for your home or business, Washington DC is the place to start. There are many types of solar installations, so there are many factors to consider when choosing a company. Learn more about the cost of solar panels and what they are like.

Solar panels are expensive

If you're thinking about converting your house to solar power, you need to know the costs involved. Washington DC offers incentives for home solar usage. These incentives will lower your overall cost of solar power in the District. There are several different types of home solar panels. All have their own costs.

Solar Renewable Energy Certificates are one of the best incentives. This credit allows you to make and convert solar electricity. You'll get a credit for every 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity your solar panel system produces. These credits can be used whenever you need them, and they will roll over month to month.

Exemption from the property tax

Washington DC's solar companies are eligible for the state's exemption from property taxes. This allows the solar system to be exempt from the property tax valuation of the home. A solar PV system can boost the home's value by as much as 20 times the amount it generates in electricity annually. A five-kW solar system will increase the home's worth by approximately $17,000. Installing a solar system is easier and more affordable because of the exemption from property taxes.

Washington DC solar companies can also receive federal tax credits in addition to their property tax exemption. These tax credits can be used to cover the cost of installing wind turbines or solar panels on residential or commercial properties. The federal government is committed to helping consumers save money on their energy bills.

Policy on net metering

The Net Metering Policy is a hot topic in many states. Although the policy is subject to change from state to state it allows for crediting excess generated electricity to the next billing period. The net metering policy generally allows systems up to 1MW to participate.

Net metering is a policy that rewards residents who use renewable power by giving them credits on future power bills. Washington DC is just one of 38 states to have mandatory net billing policies. The Potomac Electric Power Company in the area offers net metering to residents in all of its service areas. Some areas don't have an open circuit, so grid interconnection may not be possible.

Community solar program

Washington DC's community solar program has allowed hundreds of homeowners to put solar panels on their houses. The program allows people from all walks to go green with the support of solar energy businesses. There are many models of solar projects that can be implemented under the program's policies. These customers have the option to pay a monthly payment for electricity from solar panels. They will also receive credit on their electric bills in return.

In 2016, the District of Columbia created the Community Solar Program (CSP). It was designed to enroll thousands of low- and moderate-income households. Solar companies that provide solar panels to low-income households will also be offered incentives by the District. The goal of the program is to produce 100 percent renewable electricity by 2032.
