There can be solar tax credits and incentives available at the federal, state and local levels. The calculator above will show you the value of all incentives your home is eligible for.

Summary of Virginia solar incentives 2023

Virginia has made a huge splash with their Clean Economy Act, requiring 100% of electricity come from clean sources like solar and wind by 2050. The law sets a solar energy specific target of 2,000 megawatts of solar by 2030, a huge amount of new power. 

However, there aren’t significant home solar incentives stemming from it to report on -- yet! That’s perhaps because this mandatory requirement is so new, that utility companies here, like Dominion Energy haven’t figured out how they plan to meet their target. 

In the meantime, solar power is still a pretty sweet investment, even without big state incentives chipping in.

On this page, you can:

  1. Learn what solar incentives are available to Virginia homeowners

  2. See what Virginia solar incentives you qualify for based on your utility company and city

  3. Find out how much these incentives and/or Virginia solar tax credits will reduce your cost to go solar and add batteries

Federal tax credit Net metering Solar rebates Cost of solar panels in VA

Federal solar investment tax credit

The federal solar investment tax credit will have the biggest impact on the cost you will face to go solar in Virginia

If you install your photovoltaic system before the end of 2032, the federal tax credit is 30% of the cost of your solar panel system. This is 30% off the entire cost of the system including equipment, labor, and permitting.

Example: If your solar energy system costs $20,000, your federal solar tax credit would be $20,000 x 30% = $6,000.

The federal tax credit falls to 26% starting in 2033.

Net energy metering in Virginia

With net metering in some states, you get full retail rate credit for the amount of electricity you send back into the grid with your solar panels.

Net Metering requires your utility to monitor how much energy your solar power system produces and how much energy you actually consume, and make sure you get credit for the surplus. After all, you are helping to stabilize the grid and helping them transition to a cleaner energy future. 

Virginia’s net-metering law applies to all home solar systems up to 20 kilowatts (kW) in size. All the extra solar energy you create and aren’t able to use in your home is applied as a credit to your next bill at the utility’s avoided cost rate. The avoided cost rate is about $0.02/kwh, or about a third of the retail electricity rate of $0.12/kwh. Therefore, it’s important to size your system well so you aren’t generating much more valuable electricity than you can use. Regardless, it’s helpful Virginia compels utilities to provide at least some credit to you when you provide power back to the grid. 

All the total surplus built during each 12-month billing cycle may be carried over indefinitely, or you can choose to sell the electricity back to the utility at the end of the 12-month period. In order to sell the electricity to the utility you must negotiate a power purchase agreement before starting net metering.

Virginia solar rebates

While Virginia does not have a dedicated state rebate for solar panel installation, some manufacturers like LG offer their own solar rebates. These programs are usually time sensitive. For example, LG offers a $600 solar rebate on their equipment, which your installer can help you redeem over the next year.

David Knotts, 4 days ago

When we decided to purchase solar panels for our home, we interviewed many companies, conducted numerous interviews in person and virtual. My wife spent hours reading reviews and recommendations. It was Lumina Solar that "ticked all the boxes" for us. We specifically wanted a company which used its own employees and not sub-contactors. Peter Hayes, who was our point of contact was very easy to work with and responsive to any questions we had. We could not be happier.

It's difficult to accurately capture the level of positivity I have experienced with Nova Solar. From start to finish they were among the most professional, attentive and responsive companies I've ever worked with. Every question was answered quickly and clearly, every step in the complex process of juggling county, state and utility rules handled on their end. Our project required the use of a 3rd party pavilion installer which they fully handled, and now we have this amazing backyard shaded spot that's sucking up the photons and spitting out electrons. My wife and I couldn't be happier with Nova Solar, and I think after you call around and work with a few other companies for quotes, you'll see the difference when you contact Nova.

We had a great experience working with Grayson at Southern Exposure. He came out and did a personal site inspection and review, walked us through the design process and considerations. We decided to go with a larger-brand competitor but ended up being disappointed with the lack of attention during their process. When we contacted Grayson again, he was supportive, and helpful at assessing new regulations going into effect and offering to honour his original system quote. The Southern Exposure build team was fantastic, efficient, and friendly. Cannot recommend this group enough.

Carrie, over 1 month

When we got a quote for solar we made it clear that we did not want our power bill to be more than we were currently paying, because if it wasn’t going to save any money then what was the point after all. I understand that there is a cost with the panels but if we are generating our own power then our actual energy costs should be minimal or nonexistent. When the Renu rep came to the house to discuss the options (because there are several ways you can use the panels), he explained that some power companies will allow you to stay on their grid for a “facility fee” of $3.00/ kWp/month. For our home our system is 8.03 kWp, so I was thinking ok not too bad, roughly $24-$25/ month to stay on the grid and be able to still pull off the grid if we need to. This option was in leu of being strictly off the grid with batteries. The way it was explained is that we would sell our power we made to the power company (Energy United) for the same rate we would buy back the power we used. In essence if we made more than we used, it would go back as a credit on our account. This is how it was explained to us. We had this option or we could get the battery packs and disconnect from the grid. For us, this sounded like the best option. We agreed and actually had a second house installed with panels as well. It did take a while (like 3 months or so) to get all the paperwork and approvals before they actually scheduled an install date. The install was quick. They did both houses on the same day (one is across the road from the other) and were done shortly after lunch. It then took another month or so before we got the okay to actually activate the panels. (This was apparently due to something on Energy United’s end). When we finally got our first bill after activating the panels, it was a lot higher than we expected. It did not show where we had been given a credit for what we had made but there was that new facility charge. When I contacted Renu they said it was an Energy United problem. I spoke with the Energy United rep and they said they have 2 different options for solar with them (this had not been explained). The scenario I was sold on by the Renu rep was not what they signed me up for. I had never even been told about this other option. I was able to get Energy United to switch me to the option I had initially agreed to, but was told I could only change it once. So, the next bill comes after the corrections, and now there are all these extra fees. I am now being charged not only the “facility charge”, but also a “standby charge”. These fees for one property are $56.20 every month, regardless. The. There is tax and a renewable energy mandate. Before solar my power bills were usually around $70-$80 or less in the spring and fall and $130 a month in the summer (costs more to cool). Now, they also advertise a 26% tax credit and sell it like you’ll be getting 26% back of the purchase price in tax refund. They even discount the payments for 18 months to allow you to get that tax money back. You can then apply that to the loan to keep the payments the same or keep it and the payments go up. Well, you do not get 26% tax credit on solar. That is a flat out lie. We got like $1,300 credit for this system, which costs about $30,000 (without batteries!). I am now paying 2-3 times more with solar than I would if I had just stayed on the grid. I have even reached back out to Renu to see about adding the battery packs and getting off of Energy United’s grid (because if I’m going to be paying that much I might as well apply it to payments that may one day be paid off). I cannot get anyone to talk with me about just adding packs. They keep calling me to discuss adding a solar power system even after I’ve explained that I have ready been duped into but not one but TWO systems from them already. I was just looking at my power bill from this time last year with solar and even though I generated $65.97 worth of power and only used $24.13 worth, I still had to pay an additional $25.98 thanks to the fees Energy United added on. I very much was hoping this would be an economical and sustainable energy source, but it is not. Please make sure you contact the power company you are with first before you agree to staying on the grid. Do NOT rely on a Renu Energy representative to give you all the facts and details. If you’re power bill is <$150/ month on average, you are better off to stay where you are. Solar is NOT for you. At least not now anyways.

Happy solar family, 1 week ago

We have requested quotes from Main Street for the last 3-4 years, never really felt the payback was worth the cost. We also wanted to get the last 2-3 years out of our roof shingles before installing solar panels. After 2-3 rate increases by AEP, our $/kw went up 30-35%, and there's is talk of additional increases, we asked Laura and Andrew to update their quote and compared that to 3-4 other quotes we solicited. Main Street wasn't the lowest cost per kw, but they were very competitive with everyone. Very happy with the level of communication and workmanship. Install was only a few weeks ago, so we'll have to see about the production estimates over time. Their experience with Solar is obvious given the prompt, intelligent answers to all of our questions. Very happy with our choice of Main Street Solar.

On top of the exceptional experience we had with Sky NRG, their quote was competitive with other companies we look at in this area. We researched and spoke with other solar installers but we felt that they were trying too hard to sell their products and services without being able to completely answer our questions.

We had our original solar system installed prior to the pandemic and were completely satisfied with the entire experience. The installation went smoothly, the people were lovely to deal with, and the system worked great. The installation team was incredibly respectful and well-mannered in our home, which we all appreciated! After the pandemic hit, we needed additional panels and contacted Edge to install more since we had such a great first experience. It was NOT a fluke! We had a fantastic second experience as well from the sales person (Tony) to his installation crew. We cannot recommend them enough. They look nice on our home and are feeding energy to us and back to the grid like a champ. Those $0 energy bills are incredibly rewarding!

Process was seamless and smooth from start to finish for our whole home solar install. The sales representative was very knowledgeable, easy to get in contact with and did not try to over sell, which I appreciate. The install team was on time and on top of every appointment during the install process with excellent communication the whole way through. They have checked in several times since the install and have always been very polite and kind on the calls.
