LOCALLY OWNED · SERVING ALL OF VIRGINIA

Solar for Virginia homes, sized to your power bill

Virginia Energy Solutions is a locally owned solar company founded in the Richmond area. We handle home solar from design and permits through installation, clean solar panels, and help homeowners use less energy.

Why go solar?

Add to your home’s value

If you own your system, solar can raise your home’s value. A 2019 Zillow study found that homes with solar sold for 4.1% more on average than similar homes without it.

Lower your power bill

Utility rates keep rising. We show you what solar would save on your home, and what it would cost, before you sign anything.

Make your own power

Making your own electricity protects you from rate increases and makes your monthly bill easier to predict.

Use clean energy

A typical 23-panel system in Virginia avoids about 200 tons of CO2 over 25 years, based on EPA emission factors.

SERVICES

What we do

Solar is our main work. If your roof needs replacing first, we arrange that through a roofing partner as part of your project. Local teams serve Richmond and Central Virginia and Roanoke and Southwest Virginia.

Solar Installation

We handle design, permits, installation and the utility connection.

Solar Panel Cleaning

Pollen and dust reduce what your panels produce. Cleaning is $20 per panel one-time, or from $15 per panel on a plan.

Energy Efficiency

A free energy audit, blown-in insulation and air sealing help your home use less energy, so you may need fewer panels.

A note from our founder

I started Virginia Energy Solutions after meeting too many homeowners who bought solar from a company that stopped returning calls once the contract was signed.

We size each system to the power you use. If solar won’t pay for itself on your home, we’ll tell you.

We’re a local company and we answer our phone. Call us with any question at (804) 592-0306.

Rated 5 out of 5

Virginia Energy Solutions guided me through the entire process of transitioning to solar panels. The sales representatives were very knowledgeable and professional, answering all my questions. The installer arrived at my house and promptly began the installation work. Once they finished, they showed me the completed job and demonstrated how to turn the panels on/off. If you are looking to transition to solar panels I highly recommend Virginia Energy Solutions.

Been wanting solar for a long time and finally decided to do it. The guys did a great job putting the panels up. They cleaned up the mess. Taylor is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. A great decision.

After looking at different companies, we decided Virginia Energy Solutions was the best to go with. They were quick, efficient and professional. We are already producing more than we need and are excited to be working with a great company. Highly recommend them.

I interviewed at least four different solar solution providers before settling on Virginia Energy Solutions. It is a locally owned and operated and provided the best solution at a reasonable price. Ian, the owner, wasn’t pushy with selling it, which was refreshing for a change, and explained every step of the process up front. The installation went very smoothly. Virginia Energy Solutions is a great choice when searching for solar panels; they are very professional and I would certainly recommend to friends and neighbors.

Taylor was amazing! Very detailed explanation of how everything worked. He answered every single question my wife and I asked. He kept me updated on Federal changes and interest rate increases which saved me a significant amount of money. He allowed us to make the decision that was best for our family. I would highly recommend talking with him about switching to solar!

The team and process at energy solutions was amazing! Taylor came to our house and walked us through the whole process from beginning to end explaining every scenario that we had a question about. The team that installed the panels were super friendly and efficient. Now all that’s left is to save money! I strongly encourage you not to be skeptical like we are sometimes. Give them a chance to tell you what they can do for you and see what you can do for yourself. 100% satisfied!
