Solar Energy Built for Your Neighborhood

Pleasant Plains sits between Columbia Heights and Park View, offering excellent solar potential with its mix of rowhouses and small detached homes. The neighborhood's ongoing revitalization has brought solar-ready infrastructure and environmentally conscious residents.

Optimized for Pleasant Plains Homes

Typical DC rowhouses feature flat or low-slope roofs that are ideal for solar installations, providing 400-800 square feet of usable space.

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 require coordination for mounting
  • Parapet walls need special ballasted systems
  • Historic district guidelines in some areas
  • Limited roof access in dense blocks

Our Solutions

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