Washington, D.C. Solar and Battery Questions
Straightforward answers for the first stage of a property-specific review.
How do I confirm service for my Washington, D.C. address?
Submit the property address for review. Sunburst serves residential customers in Washington, D.C., but serviceability depends on a property-by-property review of the address, utility requirements, permitting authority, project type, and current project capacity.
What shapes a Washington, D.C. solar plan?
Roof condition and orientation, shade, household energy use, property access, and District and utility requirements shape the design. Your proposal includes the roof layout, panel count and models, estimated annual production, installed price, and optional battery pricing so you can compare the equipment and scope before deciding.
Which solar or battery programs may be available in 2026?
Program status, funding, eligibility, utility requirements, and application timing can change. Review the current official District and utility program pages before relying on a program, and consult a qualified tax professional before making a tax decision.
Can battery storage be included with solar?
Yes. Sunburst offers storage with new solar, standalone batteries, and batteries added to existing solar, including another company's installation, subject to compatibility. Options include Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Battery 5P, Franklin aPower S, and SolarEdge systems. Backup coverage and runtime depend on equipment, connected loads, and battery charge.
How are D.C. permitting and utility steps handled?
The written project documents should identify the current permitting, inspection, interconnection, and utility steps for the specific property, along with responsible parties and project assumptions. Approval is not guaranteed.
How long does a Washington, D.C. solar project take?
Timing depends on site review, design, permitting, utility review, equipment availability, and scheduling. A property-specific plan should provide current milestones instead of relying on a blanket timeline.
