Solar Energy Built for Your Neighborhood

Petworth's mix of detached homes, semi-detached units, and rowhouses creates ideal conditions for solar. Larger roof footprints and excellent southern exposures make it one of DC's best areas for residential solar production.

Optimized for Petworth Homes

Petworth homes typically feature larger roof areas than central DC neighborhoods, with many detached and semi-detached properties offering 800-1,200 sq ft of solar-ready space.

Typical Roof Types

  • Asphalt shingle roofs on detached homes
  • Larger semi-detached properties with dual-pitch roofs
  • Victorian-era homes with complex roof lines
  • Some modern flat-roof renovations

Challenges We Solve

  • Older roofs may need replacement
  • Tree canopy coverage in some blocks
  • Complex roof geometries need custom design
  • Multiple roof pitches require careful layout

Our Solutions

  • Free roof assessment with structural evaluation
  • Tree trimming consultation
  • Custom designs for existing architecture
  • Roof replacement coordination during re-roof
