A clean-energy home starts with the right system

Every Richmond house has its own quirks — a dormer here, a chimney there, trees casting afternoon shade. We engineer each residential array around your roof, not a spreadsheet.

Most of our homeowners lower their electric bill by 70%–100% while adding real resale value. Pair the system with a battery, and you’ll also have backup power when the neighborhood goes dark.

FAQs

Residential Solar Questions, Answered

Most asphalt shingle, metal, and tile roofs are candidates. We assess orientation (south and west are best), tilt, shading, and structural integrity before recommending a system.

Panels still produce power on overcast days — about 10–25% of peak output. Over the course of a year, net metering credits banked on sunny days cover the cloudy ones.

If your roof has more than 10 – 15 years of life remaining, you can usually install directly. If it’s older, we’ll coordinate with a trusted roofer to replace first.

Premium panels carry 25-year production warranties and typically keep producing for 30+ years. Inverters are replaced once mid-life.

Extra kilowatt-hours feed back into the Dominion grid and earn you bill credits through Virginia’s net metering program.
