District Energy is a locally owned and operated business, so we have the knowledge and experience to work with government, non-profit, and commercial entities in the District. We provide innovative technical and financial solutions that facilitate the transition away from fossil fuels and toward clean and renewable green energy.

Long-Term ROI
Most DC businesses recoup their initial investment in 10 years or less. This means you receive a minimum of 15 years of free electricity, 100% guaranteed by our industry-leading warranty.

Corporate Responsibility
Do good by doing good. A healthier planet is everyone’s responsibility. According to multiple studies, workplaces that make conservation a priority have healthier and happier employees!

Eliminate Uncertainty
No more fear of the uncertainty of rate hikes that eat into your bottom line by increasing your overhead. It is much easier to plan when you control your energy costs.

Social Benefit
A large percentage of U.S. consumers prefer to do business with companies that place a priority on sustainability and energy conservation. Solar is one of the easiest steps you can take in terms of promoting your efforts.

EV Technology & Incentives

You may not have one yet, but Electric Vehicles (EVs) are coming. Let us help you plan your solar installation for this inevitability. We can tell you what to expect with your EV purchase, and we can help you size your system based on your driving habits and the model of your car. A hardwired high-output Level 2 charger can be installed in your garage or carport as part of your solar system. Make this investment now so you are ready for the future.

Tax credits are based on the battery size and go up to $7,500 for customers who purchase an EV, but they won’t last forever. The expiration date is separate for each manufacturer and occurs after an automaker sells 200,000 eligible vehicles. Tesla hit the milestone first in July 2018. As a result, there are no federal tax credits for Tesla now. More and more manufacturers are introducing EVs, so there is no limit to choices on the market!

Battery Storage Creates Peace Of Mind

Adding battery storage to your solar electric system creates a dependable solution for all your energy needs. Use it day or night to self-power your home. Adding battery storage creates peace of mind—bad weather, blackouts, and unexpected outages won’t disrupt your life. With both solar and a solar battery, you can determine how best to power your home: energy from the sun, power from your battery, or tapping into the grid.

Our energy storage systems are specifically designed to provide you and your family resilience in the event of a power outage. Its unique power detection system will sense outages in real-time and automatically switch over to battery power! Learn more about SunVault.
