Solar math at Dominion prices

An average Dominion home, solar-sized.

Using Dominion's own average usage (1,038 kWh a month, ≈ $158), its 2025 price, a median Virginia roof (1,389 kWh per kW per year) and the calculator's default assumptions (3% annual rate growth, $2.75/W, no federal credit). Dollars are nominal. Every utility side by side: Is solar worth it in Virginia?

Questions

Is 15.20¢ what I pay per kWh with Dominion?
It is what Dominion's residential customers paid on average in 2025: all charges on the bill before taxes, divided by all kilowatt-hours sold, as reported to EIA. Your effective rate depends on your usage (fixed charges weigh more on small bills), your rate schedule and any rider changes since then. Divide a recent bill (less taxes) by its kWh to get yours.
How have Dominion's rates changed?
From 11.06¢ in 2015 to 15.20¢ in 2025: +37.4% in total, or about 3.2% a year compounded. The most recent year moved +7.9%.
Does Dominion offer net metering?
Virginia's investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives credit exported solar at the full retail rate, with credits carried forward for 12 months. The State Corporation Commission's April 30, 2026 ruling on Dominion's net-metering case kept full retail crediting in place. Dominion customers enrolling after April 30, 2026 are on the SCC's revised terms: full retail credit for exports, a $1-per-month net-metering administrative fee, year-end excess credits paid out at 5.829 cents per kWh rather than carried forward, renewable-energy certificates kept by the customer, and systems sized up to 150% of the prior 12 months' usage. A standby charge applies to residential systems above 15 kW (rising to 20 kW on January 1, 2027 under 2026's HB 1255). Customers enrolled before the ruling keep their existing terms. Policy facts reviewed 2026-10-06.
Where does this data come from?
EIA Form 861 (annual) sales to ultimate customers, residential sector, filed by the utility. The 2025 figure is EIA's early release and may be revised. Last checked October 6, 2026.
