Frequently Asked Questions

Are solar panels actually free in Georgetown?

Yes, through the 0-Cent Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model. Investors cover the costs and collect the Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs), while you receive the electricity at no charge.

What if I live in a historic district?

If your property in Georgetown falls under Historic Preservation Office (HPO) guidelines, the solar array must generally not be visible from the primary street front. Rowhouse flat roofs are perfect for this, utilizing low-profile parapet mounting.
