Introduction to Washington DC Solar Incentives
Washington, DC is rapidly becoming a leader in clean energy adoption. With an average of 152 sunny days per year, going solar is both practical and profitable for homeowners and businesses in the District. Several Washington DC solar incentives make the transition to solar energy easier and more affordable than ever.
Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC)
Residents can benefit from the Federal Investment Tax Credit, which allows you to deduct 30% of your solar installation costs from federal taxes. This incentive significantly lowers your upfront costs.
SREC Program
Through Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs), solar system owners can earn credits for every megawatt-hour of energy their system produces. These credits can then be sold to utility companies, adding an extra income stream.
DC Solar for All Program
This initiative provides low-income households with free or subsidized rooftop solar systems—covering up to $10,000 in installation costs. Eligible families can save up to $500 annually on their utility bills.
Solar Property Tax Exemption
Installing solar increases home value, but DC law ensures you won’t pay extra property taxes for that added value—saving you even more in the long run.
Net Metering and PEPCO Credits
Earn credits for excess solar power sent back to the grid. These credits reduce future energy bills and can even be cashed out annually.
