Short answer
Solar in Falls Church, VA is net metered one to one by Dominion, which Virginia's April 30, 2026 order kept in place, and applications approved before May 1, 2027 keep current terms. Virginia exempts residential systems up to 25 kW from property tax and solar equipment from its 5.3 percent sales tax.
The basics
How solar pays in Falls Church
Because Virginia SRECs trade around $22.50 to $35, far below DC credits, a Falls Church system pays back through Dominion bill savings. One-to-one net metering credits exported power at the same value as power you use, which is why sizing to the household's usage matters most.
The property and sales tax exemptions apply automatically, without an income test or a federal return.
Backup and batteries
Storage options with Dominion
Most owners here add a battery for outage protection. Dominion's Virtual Power Plant pilot can pay enrolled battery owners for letting the utility draw on their batteries at peak times, at the cost of some reserve.
We size the battery to the circuits you want kept on first, then explain whether the pilot fits.
How a job runs
City permits and Dominion approval
Falls Church is its own city, so permits go through the city rather than a county office. Dominion handles the interconnection, followed by inspection and approval to operate.
We file the Dominion application as soon as the design is final, set up monitoring at turn-on and register the system's Virginia credits.
