DC Solar Solution Program

The D.C. Solar Solution Program is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with an initiative to install grid-connected solar panels on properties located in the District of Columbia, at no upfront cost.

The homeowner pays for the electricity the panels produce, at a fixed rate of $0, making all solar power usage free.

This program is possible with the strong incentives available from DC's RPS Act and the Federal Investment Tax Credit on solar.

The Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requires electricity suppliers in DC to provide an increasing amount of renewable energy over time. Under the RPS, electricity suppliers must supply 100% of their power from renewable sources by 2032, and 15% of that power must come from solar by 2041.
