Solar Energy Built for Your Neighborhood

Capitol Hill rowhomes offer unique solar opportunities. The neighborhood's distinctive architecture—flat roofs, party walls, historic facades—pairs surprisingly well with modern solar. With 240+ installations, Capitol Hill leads DC in residential solar adoption.

⚡ Fast Pepco Interconnection: Capitol Hill Pepco interconnections typically 4-6 weeks due to established infrastructure.

Optimized for Capitol Hill Homes

Many Capitol Hill rowhomes feature flat or low-slope roofs ideal for solar, with 400-800 sq ft of usable space per property.

Typical Roof Types

  • Flat membrane roofs (EPDM, TPO)
  • Low-slope roofs with parapet walls
  • Shared party walls between units
  • Historic brick facades with modern roofs

Challenges We Solve

  • Shared walls need neighbor coordination
  • Parapet walls need ballasted systems
  • Historic district guidelines
  • Limited roof access in dense blocks

Our Solutions

  • Ballasted racking (no roof penetrations)
  • Custom flashing for party walls
  • Low-profile panels below parapet walls
  • Pre-approved historic preservation designs
