Arlington County homeowners can once again choose to participate in two regional solar co-ops, which both launched on April 1st.
The two programs, Solarize Virginia and Capital Area Solar Switch, have served Arlington County residents for the last 10 years. Through the co-ops, homeowners can connect with competitively priced and pre-vetted solar installers.
The Capital Area Solar Switch program, managed by Solar United Neighbors, serves D.C., Maryland and Virginia localities. After signing up and receiving an installation recommendation, residents will be asked to put down a refundable $150 deposit before being connected to one of the selected installers.
To secure the best competitive pricing, residents are encouraged to sign up by May 8th; however, registration is open until July 24th.
Registration is free with no obligation to install!
Another solar co-op serving Arlington is Solarize Virginia, managed by the Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP). Solarize Virginia conducted a competitive bidding process that identified and vetted four solar installers for the 2024 program.
After registering online, residents will be in contact with the Solarize Virginia team, who will assess residents’ rooftops for solar eligibility. The deadline to sign up for Solarize Virginia is June 30th and registration is free. There is no obligation to proceed with an installation after signing up.

The federal solar tax credit may cover up to 30% of the cost of installation. Learn more about how the Inflation Reduction Act tax credits and rebates can help you.
