Just ahead of Earth Day on April 22, the Piedmont Environmental Council is pleased to announce its Solarize Piedmont 2022 campaign, in partnership with the Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) and participating municipalities.
Solarize Piedmont
During the summer of 2020, residents and businesses within PEC’s 9-county service area can take advantage of Solarize Piedmont –a cooperative program with The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC), Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP), the Northern Virginia Regional Commission and the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission to bring solar power to more people in the Commonwealth.
The benefits of solar power are multi-fold: providing peak power close to the demand, energy security, cost savings, local employment opportunities, and emissions reductions. If you live in PEC’s service territory and have been thinking about putting solar power on your home, farm, or business, this is your opportunity to find out if it will work for you and take advantage of some very competitive pricing.
Our 2020 Solarize Piedmont campaign runs June 15 – August 31. Learn more and sign up!
Solarize Piedmont Installers
After a comprehensive and competitive bidding process, LEAP selected two qualified local solar installers for the 2022 Solarize Piedmont campaign. Once you sign up and have the initial satellite assessment completed by LEAP, one of the two installers will be assigned to make a site visit to gather all the information necessary and provide you with a proposal. If you go to contract, the installer will obtain all necessary permits, order materials and equipment, and schedule your installation.
How Much Will It Cost?
View our 2022 campaign pricing and learn more about configuration options. Your solar sales engineer will help you make the best choice depending on your ownership goals.
Sign Up for Solarize Piedmont
