Your Solar Savings, Daniel Hickey

I am sending over a quick recap of our conversation and the specific terms we discussed for your solar project. At EMPWR SOLAR, our goal is to make this process as transparent and “easy” as possible, a sentiment echoed by many of your neighbors in our 4.9 star Google Reviews.

What you pay every month, for 25 years

Orange is Dominion Energy, climbing 7.5% a year. Green is your solar payment, locked to 2.99% a year. The gap between them is money you keep.

Where this lands

Your solar payment is lower than your power bill from month one, and the distance only widens.

The fine print

What this compares. Your current average power bill of $399 a month against your solar payment of $275.00 a month, over 25 years. Utility escalated at 7.5% per year, solar at 2.99% per year.
Still connected to the grid. You are still connected to the utility grid and would be expected to pay a small fixed monthly rate, considered the standard connection fee.
Where the numbers come from. System specs, production, offset, the $275.00 monthly payment and the 2.99% solar escalator were all read from your EMPWR proposal on 2026-07-29. The 7.5% utility escalation is Rundle Solar's standard planning assumption, not a figure from the proposal.
Dominion Energy rates are moving. Virginia regulators approved a $565.7 million rate increase for 2026, about $11.24 a month for a typical residential customer, with a further $2.36 a month in 2027. It is the first base rate increase since 1992, driven partly by demand from data centers. Past increases do not guarantee future ones.
This is an estimate, not a contract. Production, rates and savings are projections. Nothing here is a guarantee.
