1. Learn about this resource. 

Residents can benefit from solar energy even if they are unable to install solar panels on their own homes. We—DC Government—offer homeowners and renters about $500 off their electricity bill annually when they get their electricity from a community solar energy project. We build community solar energy projects in DC to power buildings and homes across the District.

 

This program is called Solar for All and is offered by the Department of Energy & Environment (DOEE) and the DC Sustainable Energy Utility (DCSEU).
