Let’s make solar bigger in Maryland

Solar Power in Maryland

Maryland pairs some of the higher electricity rates on the East Coast with one of the country's more rewarding solar incentive landscapes, making it an excellent state to go solar.

Maryland runs an active SREC market, so your system earns tradable credits for the clean energy it produces — real, ongoing value beyond the savings on your monthly bill.

The state has historically offered a Residential Clean Energy Grant for qualifying installations, and Maryland exempts solar equipment from state sales tax and from added property tax.

With utilities like BGE, Pepco, and Delmarva Power raising rates, the power your panels generate directly offsets rising costs through net metering.

From Baltimore and Columbia to Silver Spring, Frederick, and the Eastern Shore, Maryland homeowners are well-positioned to benefit from going solar.

Modern panels perform efficiently in Maryland's climate, and battery storage adds resilience against the storms and outages the region sees.

Homeowners who purchase their system could historically receive a federal tax credit of up to 30% of the cost — though the federal residential credit ended for systems purchased after December 31, 2025, so current availability depends on ownership structure, state programs, and current law.
