Net Metering’s Future: A Victory Worth Celebrating & Another Call For Action

November 2025

Dear SunDay Solar Family,

Thanks to you, Virginia solar customers achieved something remarkable this year.
When APCo tried to end 1:1 net metering, thousands of Virginians — including many of you — stood up, spoke out, and won. The SCC confirmed what we’ve known all along:  Solar isn’t a burden on the grid — it’s a benefit to everyone. That decision protected local solar jobs, strengthened our economy, and proved that clean energy works.  It was a huge win for solar in Virginia.

Now we need your help again.

In January 2026, Dominion Energy will ask the SCC to dismantle 1:1 net metering — the same kind of attack APCo attempted earlier this year. We’re mobilizing again to make sure the SCC hears loud and clear that Virginians believe in clean energy, fair policy, and energy freedom. I am asking a favor of you.  Before January 13th, please send a written comment to the SCC and let them know that you oppose any decrease of net metering credits.  We can and need to win this fight!  It can be a short comment or personal anecdote, anything can make a difference.

Tips for submitting a comment: 

• Submit before the January 13th deadline 
• Reference case number PUR-2025-00079

Talking points for your comment: 

• Residential solar provides less than 1% of Virginia’s electricity — it is too soon to cut support.
• Solar creates local jobs that can’t be outsourced.
• Net metering saves all ratepayers money by easing grid demand.
• Virginians deserve the right to choose clean, renewable energy 

Example comment:
Dear SCC,
Reference: PUR-2025-00079
I strongly oppose any changes to Virginia’s one to one net metering and request that you deny Dominion’s proposal.

Head to the SCC website to submit a digital comment here.

Further Action:
If you would like to participate further in protecting net metering, you can attend the webinar and comment publicly. 

You will need to register before January 13th here.

Let’s remind Dominion that Virginia’s solar success — rising from #30 in 2010 to #8 in nationwide solar adoption — came from citizens who care about clean, local power.

Thank you,
Richard Crisler
Owner of SunDay Solar
