If Dominion Energy is your utility
- Dominion Energy Virginia's net metering credits excess energy to offset future electricity. Systems must be sized not to reasonably produce more than 150% of expected annual consumption. Apply with a Net Metering Interconnection Notification (NMIN); after a licensed Virginia electrician or local inspection certifies the system, Dominion issues Permission to Operate. Dominion says small residential interconnections often have no charge. Source: https://www.dominionenergy.com/en/Virginia/Renewable-Energy-Programs/Net-Metering (accessed 2026-10-20)
- A standby charge applies to residential net metering customers on Schedule 1, 1S or 1G with systems larger than 20 kW AC. Without battery storage and a transfer switch, a grid-tied system shuts off during an outage.
