At Chickahominy Falls, there is always something new under the sun!  Last week future homeowners gathered to listen to Bernie Stanley from Shockoe Solar to discuss and ask questions about solar options for their homes at Chickahominy Falls.  Here are some highlights from that meeting:

Reduce Your Electric Bill  

With a photovoltaic system, you’ll generate free power for your system’s lifecycle.  Solar will reduce your utility bills and save you money!

Avoid Rising Energy Costs  

Residential electricity prices have gone up by an average of 3% annually.  By investing in a solar energy system now, you can fix your electricity rate and protect against unpredictable increases in electricity costs.

Protect the Environment 

Solar is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.  A typical residential solar panel system will eliminate three to four tons of carbon emissions each year – the equivalent of planting over 100 trees annually!!

Uncle Sam Pays for 30% of the Cost

 Receive a 30% income tax credit in the first year of purchase when you go Solar at Chickahominy Falls.

Boost U.S. Energy Independence  

By increasing our capacity to generate electricity from the sun, we can also insulate our country from price fluctuations in global energy markets.

Create Jobs and Help Your Local Economy

The solar industry added jobs at a rate nearly 12 times faster than the overall US economy in 2015.  And, by the way, Shockoe Solar is based right here in Hanover County.

Increase Your Property Value

Multiple studies have shown that homes equipped with solar energy systems have higher property values and sell more quickly than non-solar homes. 

Cornerstone Homes also offers solar options at the Villas at Ashlake.  Please consult with your Sales Manager for more information on this unique offering.  

Go Solar!!!
