Utility Context

Document the applicable interconnection and billing framework before proceeding.

Current program check

Verify Current Virginia Programs

Virginia program rules, funding, eligibility, and application windows can change. Utility and property requirements vary by service territory and must be confirmed before any program is included in a proposal; one utility's rules do not apply statewide. The former federal Residential Clean Energy Credit is unavailable for expenditures made after December 31, 2025. Review current terms with the relevant program administrator, and consult a qualified tax professional before making a tax decision.

Virginia FAQ

Virginia Solar and Battery Questions

Straightforward answers for the first stage of a property-specific review.

How do I confirm service for my Virginia address?

Submit the property address for review. Sunburst serves residential customers in Virginia, but serviceability depends on a property-by-property review of the address, utility territory, jurisdiction, project type, and current project capacity.

What shapes a Virginia solar plan?

Roof condition and orientation, shade, household energy use, property access, utility and jurisdiction requirements, equipment availability, and your ownership and backup-power goals can all affect the plan.

Which solar or battery programs may be available in 2026?

Program status, funding, eligibility, utility requirements, and application timing can change. Review current official sources for the property's utility territory and jurisdiction before relying on a program, and consult a qualified tax professional before making a tax decision.

Can battery storage be included with solar?

Battery storage can be evaluated alongside solar when the property, equipment, system design, applicable utility rules, and available provider or program support are compatible. A review should identify the household loads you want to prioritize.

How are Virginia permitting and utility steps handled?

Requirements vary by jurisdiction and utility territory, and one utility's rules do not apply statewide. The written project documents should identify current permitting, inspection, and interconnection steps for the specific address.

How long does a Virginia solar project take?

Timing depends on site review, design, local permitting, utility review, equipment availability, and scheduling. A property-specific plan should provide current milestones instead of relying on a blanket statewide timeline.
