6. Items of General Interest:
   • Another Round of Solar Switch Now Available to County Residents
   • Solar Switch is back for another round. The group buying program helps residents learn about and save on rooftop solar systems, optional electric vehicle chargers and/or battery storage.
   • The program is organized by nonprofit Solar United Neighbors in collaboration with cities and counties in the National Capital Region, including Fairfax County.
   • Solar Switch makes rooftop solar installations more affordable, while also offering solar education through online resources and in-person events. The most recent auction secured an average discount of $7,478. To date, over 6,000 households have accepted an offer from Solar Switch, including 248 in Fairfax County.
   • The program organizes a reverse auction with qualified installers who compete to offer their most competitive prices. This ensures participants receive a discount on a high-quality solar installation. In addition to the group discount, residents may qualify for the 30% federal tax credit.
   • Fairfax County also waives the permit fee for solar permit applications, and the county's Department of Tax Administration provides a 5-year solar energy equipment tax exemption. The final day to register and accept a personal recommendation is November 22, 2024. Participants will receive a personal recommendation immediately upon registering. It is free to register. There is no obligation to accept an offer.
