Solar Parking and Rooftop Canopy Pilot

Overview

County Executive is directed to coordinate with various county agencies, and - where applicable - the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and Dominion Energy to explore and make recommendations around the deployment of parking canopy solar at various parking lots throughout the County, including the Neabsco/Potomac Commuter Garage, as well as looking at rooftops of publicly-owned buildings that were not included in the County’s previous solar feasibility study (such as the Crisis Receiving Center.) This work should include an analysis of various installers that operate in the County, including Dominion Energy, structural feasibility (and needed improvements to make facilities feasible for solar installation if they are not currently) as well as the various funding and ownership mechanisms that exist – PPAs, RECs, land/property leases, etc. Such research and recommendations should, where applicable, include proposed timelines, potential fiscal impacts, and other pertinent information for Board consideration. The County Attorney’s Office is directed to review the information and recommendations for any legal issues. When the research and work is complete, the County Executive should report back to the Board with the research and recommendations during a Board meeting or by memorandum, as appropriate.
