Solarize Virginia started as a grassroots initiative in 2014 when local nonprofit LEAP recognized a need for solar energy support in Virginia. Transitioning to solar energy helps homeowners and businesses save money and support climate goals. Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act last year, which increased the solar tax credit from 26% to 30%, providing even more incentive for participants.
By switching to solar energy now, Virginians can minimize their carbon footprint, reduce utility bills, and protect themselves from future rate increases. Solarize Virginia offers discounted rates for its program, so homeowners can feel confident that they are getting competitive rates.
