Frequently asked questions
How does Section 48E Direct Pay work for a Virginia C&I project?
Section 48E lets tax-exempt entities receive 30% of qualified solar project costs as a direct IRS payment — no VA corporate tax liability required. It stacks with Virginia Shared Solar Program (SB 254) credit allocations and Dominion/APCo/SVEC rate-lock savings.
What is the Virginia Shared Solar Program (SB 254)?
Virginia’s Shared Solar Program under SB 254 (§ 56-585.5) lets commercial subscribers allocate bill credits from a single shared facility to one or more metered accounts — useful for multi-site operators, non-profits, and public entities without usable rooftop.
How does Code of Virginia § 56-594 net-metering apply to commercial solar up to 1 MW?
Under § 56-594, commercial systems up to 1 MW may net-meter up to 100% of annual on-site load at full retail rate, with excess generation credited to the next billing cycle.
Can a Virginia C&I customer lock a Dominion Energy / Appalachian Power / SVEC supply rate?
Yes — lock a 12 or 24-month fixed commercial supply rate via our Dominion Energy, Appalachian Power (APCo), or Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative brokerage desk, insulated from PJM spot-price spikes.
What utility territories does PangeaOS serve in Virginia?
PangeaOS serves Dominion Energy (≈80% of state load), Appalachian Power (APCo, western VA), Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, and other VA electric cooperative territories across the Commonwealth.
