Solar Maryland’s goal is to help Marylanders switch to clean, renewable solar energy. We work by matching you with top rated solar installers that services your local area. A specialist from each solar installer can then explain the process and all of the potential cost saving initiatives that may be available to you – from federal and Maryland specific solar rebates & incentives to the different solar panel financing and leasing programs, all of which can help offset some of the initial solar system installation costs. Designed to make acquiring a solar PV system more affordable, solar financing options that may be available include: solar loans, solar lease, power purchase agreement (PPA), and government funded options, like the Home Energy Renovation Opportunity (HERO) or Property-Assessed Clean Energy Programs (PACE).
Maryland Solar Power May Save You Money
Many Marylanders don’t realize the amount of money spent on their home energy use each year. In the next 10 years, the average Maryland homeowner may spend over $16,000 on electricity1. Not to mention that electricity prices in Maryland actually increased over 50% in a 10-year period from November 2005 to November 2014. Smart homeowners are increasingly looking to renewable energy and investing in a home solar system today to help offset the rise in electricity rates.
Home Solar Financing
An average residential solar system can cost between $15,000-$29,000 for average sized systems sized between 4kW and 8kW.2 Considering that you could possible spend up to $41,973.00 in electrical bills over the next 25 years, this can be a small price to pay for solar in Maryland3. However, for too many people, that still represents too large of an up front payment. The good news is that many of the solar providers we work with offer a variety of great solar financing and leasing options to help offset some of initial solar installation costs. In addition, low interest rates may be available for a solar home financing and installing solar panels can increase the value of your home as well.
