See how much you can save with solar by estimating your potential savings and reaching out to our solar experts.
Virginia is one of the top states in the nation for homeowners to make the switch to solar, and there has never been a better time to go solar in the Old Dominion State. Blue Raven Solar is dedicated to helping you make the most of your solar purchase by saving money and reducing your carbon emissions along the way.
Solar prices have fallen over 43% in the last ten years, and it is projected to continue to grow throughout the state, with over 8,300 megawatts of power expected to be installed in the next five years. The Virginia Clean Economy Act of 2020 hopes to bring the state’s utility-delivered power to 100% renewable energy by 2045 and direct the construction of 16,100 MW of renewable energy by 2035.
Thanks to local and federal solar incentives, homeowners who wish to go solar can save thousands of dollars on top of the monthly utility bill savings from solar panels. Many solar companies offer different solar options, like leasing your panels or a power purchase agreement. Knowing if solar ownership, lease, or a power purchase agreement (PPA) is the best option for your home can be confusing. We are here to help you make the best choice and to make your solar journey as seamless as possible.

Virginia is rich with United States of America history and has diverse seasons, beautiful beaches, and plenty to do for the whole family. Virginia also recently made history by becoming the first state to target 100% clean power. With a goal to have the entire state running on renewable energy, Virginia homeowners are serious about going solar!
Solar panels are often one of the biggest purchases many customers will make in their lifetime, after a home or a car. Although they might have a large price tag, they save homeowners thousands of dollars across their lifetime and help them to make a difference on the environment. Thankfully, local and federal incentives for going solar make it more affordable for homeowners who are wanting to make the switch to clean, renewable energy.
Here are some additional savings available to Virginia homeowners who qualify:
Virginia is determined to benefit its solar owners through net metering. With statewide net metering laws, Virginia homeowners with solar can sell their excess electricity back to their utility company for monthly credits. These credits can be applied to your next month’s bill or roll over to future months. To make things even better, Virginians can sell the excess electricity back at the end of a 12-month period.
Because of legislation passed in 1977, residential solar panels in Virginia are exempt from property tax. This means that any extra value added to your home because of your solar array will not be added to your property tax. However, municipalities have the ability to control this legislation so each Virginia homeowner must see whether property tax applies to their new system beforehand.
Homeowners who own their solar panels (not a solar lease or PPA) qualify for a 30% Federal Investment Solar Tax Credit (ITC), which can means thousands of dollars in savings. The federal tax credit is one of the largest savings opportunities for residential homeowners going solar.
Even with the solar industry’s massive growth in the last decade or so, still only less than 3% of the current population in the United States are enjoying the benefits and savings of solar energy. Our joy is knowing our customers are saving money and reducing their carbon emissions. We want the same for you.

“Quick, easy and the best deal out there.
I had previously done research into solar. I knew I wanted solar but I wasn’t sure if the cost benefit was there yet. The door salesman weren’t that impressive. But I signed up for a no pressure consultation. My thoughts going in was “this is not going to happen.” My thoughts going out. Was, “he said everything right.” First and foremost, the price was right. I love the companies that they use for their panels and for their inverters. I like the look of these panels better aesthetically then others. And it’s a hands off experience that was built to be as easy as possible. Summary: While my installation is complete, I just have to wait for it to get turned on after the inspection. From start to finish my process has been extremely well communicated. The process was easy and hands-off. Which is exactly what I wanted. The installers were respectful, quick, cleaned up after themselves and professional all around. I have already recommended someone for Blue Raven and I rarely recommend anybody for anything. But no matter how you look at it. The most important thing to me was how they have it structured financially and I am saving money. Love the company.
