By investing in rooftop solar for your home, you can save money, protect yourself from rising utility rates and, when paired with a backup battery, create “off the grid” energy independence
Solarize Piedmont
During the summer of 2020, residents and businesses within PEC’s 9-county service area can take advantage of Solarize Piedmont –a cooperative program with The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC), Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP), the Northern Virginia Regional Commission and the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission to bring solar power to more people in the Commonwealth.
The benefits of solar power are multi-fold: providing peak power close to the demand, energy security, cost savings, local employment opportunities, and emissions reductions. If you live in PEC’s service territory and have been thinking about putting solar power on your home, farm, or business, this is your opportunity to find out if it will work for you and take advantage of some very competitive pricing.
Our 2020 Solarize Piedmont campaign runs June 15 – August 31. Learn more and sign up!
