Solar Partnership Program
Partnering with properties for a brighter future
The Solar Partnership Program is a multi-year pilot program launched in 2016. The program is designed to expand Dominion Energy’s understanding of distributed solar energy by studying its impact and assessing its benefits while supporting and encouraging solar energy growth in Virginia.
Under the Solar Partnership Program, Dominion Energy is authorized to construct and operate up to 30-megawatts of company-owned solar facilities on leased rooftops or on the grounds of commercial businesses and public properties throughout our Virginia service area.
Our Solar Partnership in Action
Dominion Energy Virginia installed more than 3,000 solar panels on the rooftop of Western Branch High School in Chesapeake, Virginia in 2016. The 800 kW (ac) system is capable of generating enough electricity at peak sunlight for about 200 homes and is one of the largest single rooftop solar arrays in Virginia.
The project is not only an important step in Dominion’s development of renewable energy sources; it provides a valuable learning opportunity for the students of Western Branch High School. Teachers are able to incorporate data from the school’s own on-site solar array into the curriculum, to engage the next generation in this exciting renewable energy.
