Cost
What solar costs in Tysons
A typical 8 to 12 kW rooftop system installs for $19,000–$34,000 cash, which is $2.40–$2.85/W. These are cash installed prices for modules, racking, inverter, and interconnection labor. Two things keep the number down: no commissioned sales team and no subcontracted electrical.
A townhouse roof around Tysons holds a smaller array than a detached house, so it prices below the typical band at the same per-watt rate. A detached house on the McLean or Vienna side prices inside it. When the service is still 100A or 150A, the heavy-up goes on the same proposal at the published $3,500–$7,500 range.
| System size | Typical annual production | Installed price, cash |
|---|---|---|
| 8 kW | About 10,000 kWh | $19,200–$22,800 |
| 10 kW | About 12,500 kWh | $24,000–$28,500 |
| 12 kW | About 15,000 kWh | $28,800–$34,200 |
Production assumes about 1,250 kWh per kW per year for a typical Northern Virginia roof. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
Incentives
Tysons solar incentives in 2026
The federal residential credit does not apply to systems installed after December 31, 2025. What is left for a Tysons house or townhouse is built into the proposal, and the full list with sources is in our incentives guide.
Fairfax County waives the residential solar permit fee for a Tysons address, and the Department of Tax Administration exempts the equipment from property tax for five years after the inspection passes.
Dominion credits every kilowatt-hour a Tysons array exports at the retail rate, and the SRECs stay with you under the State Corporation Commission order of April 30, 2026.
Virginia Code 58.1-3661 declares a residential rooftop system of 25 kW or less wholly exempt from state and local taxation, which covers every Tysons house and townhouse array we design.
Why an electrician
Why Tysons homeowners choose an electrician for solar
A townhouse array is small, and the electrical is most of the job: the backfed breaker, a disconnect on a tight side yard or an end wall, and the inspection. Solar companies subcontract that part. We are the electrical contractor, and a master electrician is on site for every Tysons install.
We have pulled Fairfax County permits around Tysons, McLean, and Vienna since 1996 for panels, heavy-ups, and EV chargers. The HOA package, the county solar record, and the Dominion interconnection go in that order, and we run all three.
The number on the proposal is cash and installed, with no commission built in. The charger, the battery, and any panel work are separate lines, so a Tysons homeowner sees the whole system priced before anything is ordered.
Solar makes sense in Tysons when
- You own a detached house or a townhouse with its own roof in or around Tysons, and one roof plane faces south or west without heavy shade.
- Your home near Tysons still runs 100A or 150A service, and you want the heavy-up and the array permitted and inspected as one job.
- You drive an EV and want the charger, the battery, and the array designed on one load calculation instead of three separate visits.

Evan was the best! He was fast and installed my EV charger exactly where I wanted it. He also came out to do an estimate and told me exactly what he would do and how long it would take him. He was professional and nice!
We had a great experience being able to get power restored to our house with a breaker box replacement. Visit was scheduled within a couple days and diagnostic was free. I got a reasonable quote that was right around what a couple other companies priced, but half of another competitor who did the initial assessment. Very professional electrician that got everything done in a day, and appreciated that he also helped put dry wall back up for me to spackle/paint. Felt like my options were honestly laid out and had a good discussion around the contract before repairs began. Owner felt trustworthy
For us, AJ Electric has forgotten more about electrical work then any other electrical service providers have ever known. We have used AJ Long Electric for all kinds of work at our home and they were excellent in every respect. We had them update many lights, remove old florescent lights, install outdoor security lights, change old switches to add dimmers, and help us clarify some old labels in our fuse box. The best thing about AJ Electric is THEY ARE VERY RESPONSIVE! They respond quickly to our inquiries, they email and text frequently with updates, we see an estimate for every job days before they arrive, and they text when they're on their way. Responsiveness is the most important aspect of a any business relationship and with AJ Electric it's their modus operandii. After AJ Electric arrives, their work is professional and of high quality. Their electrians work efficiently and are very mindful of being a guest in a customer's home. We have also appreciated how the AJ Electric staff, despite us having agreed to an estimate, will still consult with us before finalizing any work just in case we want any changes. Often, we have a discussion about any other options or ideas before we proceed. That degree of consideration on any home projects is great appreciated.
Tysons solar questions
Can I put solar panels on my Tysons condo?
Not on a tower unit. A Tysons high-rise shares one roof across every unit in the building, so rooftop solar there is a building project for the association, not a single owner. Solar in Tysons is for detached houses and townhouses with their own roof, and for those we design the array, pull the Fairfax County permit, and file the Dominion interconnection.
Who issues the solar permit for a Tysons house?
Fairfax County. Tysons has no town office, so Land Development Services issues the residential solar permit, waives the fee, and inspects the job. When the panel needs a heavy-up, the county opens a separate electrical record, and we pull that one too.
Does a Tysons townhouse association get a say on solar?
It can review the design, not ban it. Virginia Code 55.1-1820.1 stops an association from prohibiting rooftop solar unless the recorded declaration does, and any restriction that raises the cost more than 5 percent or cuts production more than 10 percent is unreasonable under the statute. We submit the Tysons HOA package before the county permit.
How does net metering work for a Tysons home on Dominion?
The kilowatt-hours your Tysons array exports offset the kilowatt-hours you buy, one for one. The State Corporation Commission kept that netting and customer-owned SRECs in its order of April 30, 2026, and we file the Dominion interconnection after the county inspection passes.

Houses and townhouses around Tysons buy their power from Dominion Energy Virginia. We read the account off your bill, file the interconnection, and request permission to operate after the county inspection passes.
