How Much Will DC Pay You For Solar?
Enter your monthly Pepco bill. See your estimated 10-year DC SREC income — money the state pays you for going solar, on top of what you stop paying Pepco. DC has the highest-value SRECs in the country.
Your bill
Use your average monthly Pepco bill. We'll do the rest.
DC average is around $180–$220. If you're not sure, use a recent summer-month bill.
Adjust assumptions (optional)
Defaults reflect 2025 DC reality: Pepco residential ~$0.16/kWh, DC SRECs trading around $350–$450. Loan coverage assumes a $0-down, 25-year loan at 6.99% APR — the same financing assumptions used in our real proposals.

How these numbers are calculated
System size = (your bill × 12) ÷ Pepco rate ÷ 1,250 kWh-per-kW-year (DC solar production factor).
SRECs earned per year = annual production (kWh) ÷ 1,000. DC SREC II rules limit tradeable SRECs to the first 10 years of production.
10-year SREC income = SRECs/year × SREC price × 10 years.
Loan coverage from SRECs = annual SREC income ÷ the annual payment on a $0-down, 25-year loan at 6.99% APR financing the full system cost — the same assumptions our real proposals use. This is before counting any electricity savings.
Monthly savings (PPA) = ~30% of your current bill on day one, an alternative to loan financing that eliminates upfront cost.
Estimates only. Actual production depends on roof orientation, shading, and tilt. Real numbers come from a free roof check at /survey.
