🚨We are pretty horrible with social media, but this is important: Think LONG and hard before you sign a 50+page, 25-year contract for a $0 solar energy system that you won't own. You'll pay at least 2.5 times the cost of a system over that time. You'll be paying the owner of the panels AND will still get a bill from the power company for fixed costs and overages.
* Use more energy than the system makes? You'll be billed for the difference.
* Use less? You won't get charged less.
* The panel owners - not you - get the SRECS (small payments for generating renewable energy.)
* Looking to sell your house? You'd better hope the new owners are excited about the contract or you'll have to buy the system at that point.

Better: start with a small system that YOU own, and add on over time. Our contract is 2 pages. Grid-tied systems are very simple and low/no maintenance! Outside of direct impact, panels rarely break, you can get 20+ year warranties on inverters. It's not complicated; you don't need someone else to manage it.

These companies make their money from financing; solar is just the vehicle for it.

Thank you for reading 😅, pic of customer system for attention!

Blacksburg Friends Meeting installed an 11.31 kW grid-tied solar energy system that is expected to produce 100% of their energy on an annual basis. ☀️😊

It’s important to keep debris off of your solar array to ensure peak production! 🧹 🐈 Shading from just a single cat butt will impact output. 🌞 Purrform regular visual inspections.

🚨Your help needed: Solar net metering in Virginia is under threat. AEP has petitioned to decrease the net metering rate by 70%, from our current retail rate of $0.16 to $0.049, so no more 1-to-1 credit. While we would expect current customers to be grandfathered in with their existing terms, this would dramatically and negatively impact the growth of solar in our state.

👉 Here's what you can do! Add your comment here before May 13: https://www.scc.virginia.gov/case-information/submit-public-comments/cases/pur-2024-00161.html

🤔 And if you are thinking of solar, don't wait! Get in while you can under existing net metering terms and with the 30% Federal Tax credit (also under threat). Text us at 540-961-5120 or email [email protected] to get started with a no-pressure quote.

With true standing seam roofs, penetrations are not needed to attach the rail to the roof. We use S-5! clamps that pinch the seams as shown in this 8 kW grid-tie system in Crozet, VA, installed in 2020. We met the founder of S-5!, Rob Haddock, at Solar Power International in 2019 and missed our opportunity to ask how that unusual company and product name came to be!

This is a 12.6 kW off-grid system in Bartow, WV. Ground-mount systems cost a bit more upfront due to the infrastructure and extra wire/ditching/conduit, but they are generally more productive because they can be oriented more optimally and they have better airflow/cooling.
