Under Virginia's first-ever renewable energy rebate program, homeowners and businesses in the Commonwealth can receive a rebate of US $2,000 per kilowatt (kW) for solar photovoltaic systems up to 10 kilowatts (kW) in size.

A typical residential system of 5 kilowatts earns the homeowner a rebate of $10,000. Businesses can receive a rebate for solar electric systems up to 200 kilowatts. The rebate amount for businesses starts at $2,000 per kilowatt (kW) for the first 10 kW installed, with a reduced amount for larger systems.

Because this initial rebate program is working with a finite sum of money and rebates are to be issued on a first-come, first-served basis, installer Standard Solar said that homeowners and businesses interested in taking advantage of the program act quickly.
