Virginia's Power Purchase Program lets a solar provider put a system on a qualifying home at no cost to the homeowner. They own it, install it, and maintain it. You host it and buy the power it makes, at a lower rate than the utility charges. No loan. No lien. Nothing to buy.
This is the part people don't believe until they see it laid out. There is no system to buy and no loan to sign. The provider is buying the right to put panels on a good roof, and the homeowner gets cheaper power for hosting them.
Four questions here, then a short call. Whether a home fits comes off the actual bill and roof, not a sales pitch.
They pay for the system, own it, install it, and maintain it for as long as it's on the roof. There's no loan behind it and nothing goes on the title.
Instead of paying the utility for all of it, you pay the provider for what the panels make, at a lower rate. Homes that fit typically pay about 30% less for their power.
Not every home does, and the ones that don't get told so on the first call. If yours has these three, it's worth the four questions.
East or west can work. Heavy tree cover usually doesn't. A roof in decent shape matters more than its age.
Most homes that qualify pay Dominion or Appalachian Power $150 or more a month. Below that there isn't enough power on the bill to replace.
The provider puts the system on the roof and owns it, so the owner has to be the one signing. Renters can't, and we'll say so rather than waste your time.
The honest version, because "free solar" has been said by a lot of people who meant a loan.
No call center. When you send the four answers, Kaden texts you from a Virginia number, and the call is with him. He'll tell you straight if the house doesn't fit.
(804) 719-8841It's a power purchase agreement, which Virginia allows for homes. A solar provider pays for and owns a system on your roof, and you buy the electricity it produces at a set rate. You never own the panels and you never owe for them. That's the whole structure.
National residential solar companies that operate in Virginia. Which one takes a given home depends on the roof, the utility, and the fit, and that's settled after the call, not before. Kaden will tell you who it is before anything is signed.
Your bill, your roof, and whether the numbers make sense for your house. It's a short call. If it doesn't fit, you'll hear that on the call.
Ask this one on the call. How the agreement is handled in a sale depends on the provider, and Kaden will walk through it with the actual terms in front of you before anything is signed.
The provider owns it, so the provider fixes it. Monitoring, repairs, and replacements are on them for the term of the agreement.
Usually no. The provider inspects it before installing. A roof that needs replacing soon is one of the things that can disqualify a home, and it's better to know that up front.
Then a name and a number so Kaden can text you. About 30 seconds.
