By Bill Rollins 3 May, 2023 2 mins read

Washington DC is the ideal place to start looking into solar panels for your business or home. There are many different types of solar installations available, and a number of factors to consider when selecting a solar company. Learn more about the cost of solar panels and what they are like.

Solar panels are expensive

Know the costs involved if your house is going to be converted to solar energy. Washington DC offers several incentives for home-solar use. These incentives will reduce the cost of going green in the District. There are several different types of home solar panels. Each one has a different cost.

One of the best incentives is the Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs). This credit allows you to make and convert solar electricity. You will get credit for each 1,000 kilowatt-hours that your solar panel system produces. These credits will roll over from month to month, allowing you to use them when you need them.

Property tax exemption

Washington DC solar firms benefit from the state’s exemption on property taxes, which allows the total value of a solar array to be exempted from the property valuation. A solar PV system could increase the home's worth by as much 20 times what it saves annually. A home can be worth $17,000 with a 5-kW solar system. Solar system installation is more affordable and easier for homeowners thanks to the state's exemption from property tax.

In addition to the property tax exemption, solar companies in Washington DC can also benefit from federal tax credits. These tax credits are available for the installation of solar panels or wind turbines on residential and commercial properties. The federal government is dedicated to saving consumers money on their energy bills.

Policy on net-metering

The Net Metering Policy is a hot topic in many states. Although each state has a different policy, most allow excess generation to be credited to the next billing period. In general, net metering policies permit systems of up 1 MW to participate.

The net metering policy is designed to reward residents for using renewable energy by providing credits against their future power bills. Washington DC is one 38 states that has mandatory net-metering policies. Potomac Electric Power Company, which serves the entire area, offers net billing to residents. Grid interconnection is not possible in some areas that do not have open circuits.

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. It allows for many different types of solar project models. They can also choose to pay a monthly subscription fee for solar panel electricity. In return, they will receive credits on the electric bill.

In 2016, the District of Columbia created the Community Solar Program (CSP). It was designed to enroll thousands of low- and moderate-income households. The District offers incentives to solar companies installing solar panels for low-income families. The program's goal is to generate 100 percent of renewable electricity by 2032.
