Dominion’s Income and Age Qualifying Solar Program

Dominion Energy Virginia offers a program that provides a free solar system to eligible customers in their Virginia Service territory.

Many Habitat for Humanity households qualify for this free program due to their household income level.  To be eligible to purchase a Habitat home, all Habitat households must earn less than 80% of the area median income, which qualifies these families for this free solar program.

Habitat homes are generally built to a high energy efficiency standard.  Habitat homes that are older (10 years or more) may have some characteristics that could be improved upon, such as heating and cooling systems.  Through participation in Dominion’s income and age qualifying programs, these homes can receive valuable energy efficiency upgrades and a solar system at no cost to the homeowner.
