Why you should choose us
Matt started Virtue Solar in 2015 as a one-man shop with a Subaru Outback and a borrowed trailer. Over the years, Virtue has grown from the smallest company around to one of the top solar companies in Virginia. Our goal has always been to focus on doing the right thing.
This starts with our employees, by providing full benefits for every team member, profit sharing, and a genuine commitment to keeping our team happy. For our customers, we want to provide the best experience possible. Our reviews and testimonials are a glimpse of how we treat others. If you’ve read them and thought, “These are too good to be true,” they’re not. We’ve made mistakes just like anyone else, but we've addressed them by focusing on doing what's right, and working with our customers to make sure that they are satisfied with the end result.
We truly believe that we offer the highest-quality solar installations in the area, and have a 30-year warranty to back it up. If you’re looking for local solar installers who are passionate about what they do, you’ve found us.
