What "free solar" means

No catch. Just a lower power bill.

We put solar on your roof at no cost, and you buy the clean power it makes, at a rate below Pepco's, locked for 25 years. That's the whole deal.

01
$0 to get started

No upfront cost, no loan, no lien on your wallet. We cover the panels, the install, and every permit.

02
A lower, fixed rate

You pay only for the power your roof produces, below Pepco's rate, and it never moves for 25 years.

03
We handle everything

Design, permits, installation, and maintenance, all on us, for the life of the system.

The model changed

You don't buy solar anymore.

The old way meant tens of thousands upfront and years of hoping it paid off. Free solar flips it. We own the system, you just take the lower bill.

The old way 2010–2019
  • Save $30k–$50k in cash first
  • Research panels & inverters for weeks
  • Find a contractor you can trust
  • Navigate the tax paperwork yourself
  • Pay for every repair & service call
  • Hope it pays off in 10 years

Why now

Utility rates only go one way.

Pepco's rates have climbed nearly every year for a decade, with no ceiling. Your solar rate is set the day you sign, and it stays there for 25 years.

Questions

What DC homeowners ask

Is it really free? What's the catch?+

There's no upfront cost. You simply pay for the power your panels make, at a lower, fixed rate than Pepco. That's the whole deal.

Do I have to buy anything?+

No. We own and maintain the system; you get the lower bill. Nothing to purchase or finance.

Does my roof qualify?+

Most DC roofs do. Enter your address and we'll check sun exposure and usage in about 60 seconds.

What if I move?+

The plan transfers cleanly to the new homeowner, and solar is a selling point buyers love.

How long does it take?+

From sign-up to switch-on is typically about 8 weeks, and we manage every permit and inspection.

Prefer to buy your system outright?+

Some homeowners do. That's a separate process, so give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
