Solar Without Panels
Save 5-30% on Your Electric Bill Through Maryland Community Solar – No Rooftop Installation, No Upfront Cost, No Catch
What if you could tap into clean solar energy and lower your monthly electric bill – without putting a single panel on your roof? That is exactly what Maryland’s Community Solar program makes possible.
Whether you rent, have a shaded roof, live in an HOA community, or simply do not want hardware on your home, community solar lets you subscribe to a share of a local solar farm and receive credits on your utility bill every month. You pay less for the same electricity you already use.
Watch: How Community Solar Works in 2 Minutes
No commitment. Filling out the form simply adds you to the waiting list. A representative will contact you when capacity opens up in your area.
Why Maryland Residents Are Switching to Community Solar
No panels on your roof. Your share of a nearby solar farm generates electricity that feeds into the local grid. Your utility company (BGE, PEPCO, or Delmarva Power) credits your bill for that power.
No upfront cost. There are zero sign-up fees, zero installation costs, and zero equipment to buy. You are simply subscribing to discounted solar credits.
Guaranteed savings. You pay the community solar provider for your credits at a locked-in discount – typically 5% to 10% less than the utility’s standard rate. You save money from month one.
No long-term trap. Most programs only require 30 to 90 days’ notice to cancel. If you move within the same utility territory, your subscription transfers seamlessly to your new address.
How It Works – 4 Simple Steps
1. Join the waiting list. Fill out a short form so we can match you with the right solar farm in your utility territory.
2. We find your match. As new capacity comes online, a representative reaches out to confirm your eligibility and answer every question you have.
3. Subscribe. Sign up for your share. There is no installation, no site visit, and no equipment.
4. Start saving. Solar credits appear on your utility bill each month. You pay less for the same electricity.
Who Qualifies?
If you pay an electric bill in Maryland to BGE, PEPCO, or Delmarva Power, you are almost certainly eligible. Community solar is available to:
Homeowners with shaded, old, or unsuitable roofs. Renters in apartments, townhomes, or houses. Condo and HOA residents restricted from rooftop installations. Small business owners looking to cut overhead. Anyone who wants solar savings without the commitment of a rooftop system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there really no cost to join?
Correct. No sign-up fees, no deposits, no equipment costs. You only pay for the discounted solar credits you receive – and those credits are guaranteed to cost less than what you would pay the utility directly.
Will I get two bills?
It depends on the specific program. Some use “consolidated billing” where everything appears on your single utility bill. Others send a separate invoice for your solar credits. We will clearly explain the billing setup before you commit to anything.
What happens if I move?
Moving to a new address within the same utility territory? Your subscription transfers with you. Moving out of the territory? You can cancel without penalty.
Why is there a waiting list?
Maryland’s community solar farms have limited capacity and high demand. New farms are being built in the BGE territory right now, but spots fill quickly. Getting on the waiting list today means you will be among the first contacted when new capacity opens up.
Ready to Start Saving?
Spots are limited and new solar farm capacity fills fast. Join the waiting list now and a representative will reach out when your area is available. No commitment, no pressure – just a conversation about whether community solar is right for you.
