“With bulk purchasing for solar installations, Solarize Fredericksburg gives everyone in our egion the opportunity to save money on their energy bills and protect their homes and businesses from power disruptions due to storms and other emergencies.

“We’ve seen a surge in interest across Virgina by homeowners who are motivated by these discounted prices and know that our clean energy future starts with their roof. And we hear again and again that clients appreciate the support that the Solarize program provides and the way we combine energy efficiency and solar to help homeowners make smart choices for their home and budget .” – Andrew Grigsby, LEAP Executive Director

Easy- Homeowners and businesses in Caroline, King George, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties and the City of Fredericksburg can get started with a simple online application and take advantage of free or discounted energy efficiency consultations and a free solar site assessment.
Affordable- A key aspect of this grassroots effort is community participation. When community residents rally behind solar, local installers are able to offer lower prices to Solarize participants through bulk purchasing, reduced travel, and offset marketing costs. Average prices for residential solar installations dropped another 15%+ in 2015, and with Solarize prices are expected to be discounted another 15%+.
More Savings- In addition to Solarize Fredericksburg’s bulk purchasing discounts, LEAP will help participants access a 30% federal tax credit and navigate the Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SREC) market.
Smart- The Energy Information Administration projects a 2% annual rise in residential energy rates for the Mid-Atlantic. Solar customers regularly see an 8% or better return on investment.
Proven- Over the past two years LEAP’s Solarize campaigns across the Commonwealth have seen 200 and counting Virginia homeowners and businesses sign contracts for solar panels for their roofs.
