All the projects, which are expected to enter service by 2020, will be developed in partnership with Virginia-based companies.
These projects are expected to generate power for 100,000 homes.
Dominion Resources chairman, president and chief executive officer Thomas Farrell II said: "Our commitment to solar energy is an important part of the immediate future of our state.
"We appreciate the governor’s efforts to promote renewable energy in our Commonwealth. Technology has evolved in such a way that we see a long-term benefit for our customers and will work to lead the way in solar generation."
These projects are due to secure State Corporation Commission approval.
