This is almost true. Someone is paying for solar, it’s just not you (the government is). So it is free for you.
The city is covering the costs so that homeowners in Washington, DC can receive the benefits of free solar electricity for the next 20-30 years. Receive all of the savings by generating free electricity for yourself and reducing or eliminating your entire Pepco bill.
It used to be complicated and required a certain income level to get free solar. Only recently has it become available to all DC residents. If you're a homeowner in DC and your roof has good solar exposure - you are in.
Our solar consultants can take a look at your roof and determine if you are a good candidate for a free solar program. Our service is complimentary to you as well, because we get paid directly by the installers.
Most are still not fully aware of the incentives and there is only so much capacity to get utility approval, permits and build the projects. DC is quickly converting to solar, don't get left behind thinking that it isn't.
Additionally many DC homeowners have been misinformed, or not informed about the existing incentives that are available when you own a home here in the city.
This is pretty straightforward. There are no monthly payments because you will have a contract stating that your electricity is free for the next 25 years. Technically, it will state your initial electricity price - 0¢ / kWh and that rate will never increase.
We will take a look at your roof to determine if it will need to be fixed or replaced well before we install the solar.
If it does need to be replaced, we have roofing partners that can help and we even have an option to cover the roof replacement costs through a reduced electricity bill from the solar that will still save you 50% versus your current Pepco costs.
A brand new roof and 50% reduction in electricity costs has really helped a lot of folks who knew they needed a new roof but didn't know how they were going to afford the costs!
