How Rooftop Solar Helps Everybody
Solar power installed on site directly helps homes and businesses save money and go green. But did you know that rooftop solar indirectly helps all Virginians, whether they have their own solar panels or not?
Learn below how the investment made by rooftop solar customers pays dividends to all citizens through a cleaner environment, a stronger economy, and electric power that’s both more reliable and more affordable.
