Even if you have solar you still deal with Dominion, I converted to solar last year but still deal with them due to send over produced power back to the grid for credit. They are the only gig in town, so you just have to deal with shitty service!

Afaik, you only have to deal with Dominion with your own solar when you are hooked up to the grid (regardless of any net metering or other programs). If you aren't, then it doesn't matter as there is no meter, but you're on your own.

Correct, if you’re the unibomber and live in a bunker with solar panels then yes, you do not have to use Dominion. 🤣

its crazy, but I actually know someone in Amelia county that truly lives off the grid like that. More luck to him, but I couldn't do it... The battery investment is probably the biggest hitch for me.

2 different households I know of in the city have gone full solar. So, no, you don’t have to deal with dominion.
