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