What is Shared Solar?

Low-moderate income Dominion customers can now participate in the Shared Solar Program, also known as Community Solar! The Shared Solar Program allows customers to purchase subscriptions for electricity directly from a shared solar facility that is owned, operated and managed by a private entity.

Subscribers of a shared solar facility do not have to be directly connected to the facility to participate in the program. This provides opportunities for utility customers that may rent, occupy buildings with shaded or poor roof conditions or cannot purchase their own solar panels to participate in a solar energy program. 

Shared Solar with Dominion is the EASIEST way to go solar, reduce your carbon emissions, and save money for LMI Customers!

How does it work?

1. Enroll below

Connect your existing electric account with a nearby solar farm. You just need a copy of your recent utility bill. Enroll online in under 2 minutes, completely free.

2. Start generating solar power

When there is sunshine, the solar farm generates power and feeds it to your community’s electric grid.

3. Receive solar credits

Your utility bill is credited for the amount of solar energy KWHs that were generated for you during this billing cycle, reducing what you owe the utility (see example below).

You pay for your solar credits at the guaranteed discount of 15% on the same utility bill (Dominion collects the payments for the solar farm).

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to start receiving solar credits?

Community solar credits will start reducing your utility bill a few billing cycles after enrollment, if the project is live. Your first credit report from the solar project will be after your credited utility bill arrives.

Can I transfer the program if I move?

You can transfer the program if you move within the approved region for the project. Simply call or email the developer to confirm. If your consumption is much higher or lower at the next property, you may ask the developer to readjust your solar credit allocation.

What if I move out of the area or wish to cancel? (ie. getting solar on the home)

There are no exit fees for residential consumers. Please provide 90 days (or as much as possible) notice to the solar project ahead of a move/cancellation so they can assign solar credits to other customers and stop allocating them towards your account.

Once you move, contact Finray Solar to see if we have a solar farm with availability in your new area.

How are credits calculated?

The solar farm will allocate credits for 90% of your historical consumption with your utility (based on past 12 months). If your usage increases (ie. you buy an EV), you may contact the solar project and ask for them to recalculate your share of credits. If you don’t use up all your credits in a given month, they will roll over to the following month.

Annually, Dominion provides a monetary credit for the kWh not applied to prior bills at the avoided cost of power.
