Full Description

Show more
The Virginia General Assembly established the Solar Interconnection Grant Program through Senate Bill 659 and House Bill 683 (2026) to address one of the barriers facing public-sector solar development: the cost of interconnecting distributed solar energy systems to the electric grid. While the cost of solar equipment has declined substantially over the past decade, interconnection costs, including utility-required system upgrades, protection equipment, engineering studies, and other infrastructure improvements, have become an increasingly important factor affecting project feasibility.
