Virginia's solar market is growing rapidly, particularly in Northern Virginia and the Richmond metro. Dominion Energy's net metering policies have been evolving, and the transition to new rate structures has left many homeowners with systems that underperform relative to what was promised. The Virginia Consumer Protection Act provides a remedy for homeowners who were sold a system based on outdated or inaccurate financial projections.
Dominion Energy Virginia has been transitioning customers to new rate structures that affect the value of solar exports. If your sales rep used pre-transition net metering values to calculate your savings, the financial case for your system may have been misrepresented. Virginia law requires disclosure of material facts that would affect a consumer's decision — and the net metering rate is unquestionably material.
