Maryland Solar Incentives

We made it easy to learn about MD solar incentives available to you! Please review them below and contact us with any questions. One of our Solar and Roofing Advisors will be happy to discuss each program in detail with you.

Federal Solar Tax Credit -Homeowners can claim 30% of their solar installation costs as a tax credit on their federal income taxes. This incentive is available nationwide and significantly reduces the upfront cost of solar systems.
Maryland Solar Access Program – Beginning in early 2025, this program offers grants up to $7,500 for eligible households, calculated at $750 per kilowatt (kW) of direct current solar capacity. The program is income-qualified, targeting households with incomes not exceeding 150% of the statewide median.
Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) – For every megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity generated by a solar system, homeowners earn one SREC, which can be sold to utility companies, providing additional income.
Property Tax Exemption – Solar energy systems are exempt from state and local real property taxes, meaning installing solar panels won’t increase property taxes despite adding value to the home.
Sales Tax Exemption – Purchases of residential solar energy systems are exempt from Maryland’s sales and use tax, reducing the overall cost of installation.
Harford County Property Tax Credit for Solar – Homeowners can receive a tax credit equal to 100% of the total real property taxes on the host structure for one year, up to $2,500 per system.
Net Metering – A billing system that allows solar homeowners to send excess electricity to the grid in exchange for credits, which can be used to offset future energy costs.

SunnyMac did everything they said they would do. They got permits, they got materials delivered to my house, they brought a terrific crew to my house who built a beautiful new roof for me and left no mess. Couldn’t be happier.

The staff at SunnyMac are absolutely wonderful. It was such a pleasure working with Kevin and Tony because they are true professionals. They handled my entire process from start to finish with precision. There weren’t any hiccups at all, and I have nothing but praise to extend to them. I highly recommend this company.

Kayla

I am posting on behalf of my mother-in-law who just got solar installed. She has been so happy with everything, and has been praising the installers on how professional they were. They were polite, cleaned up after themselves, and even helped her with a tree she needed removed. I am also very happy to have a company that is so willing to go the extra mile for a customer.

Cheyenne

SunnyMac is probably one of the most professional teams I have ever worked with. They were quick with installation of a new roof and the panels themselves. Some people don’t notice the panels with the color of the roof we chose. The team is great, and if you are looking for solar, SunnyMac is the way to go!
