This week, the Maryland General Assembly took a key step
forward to allow more Marylanders than ever to access solar energy by passing community
solar legislation. Community solar projects allow multiple people to
subscribe to one solar energy project and offset a portion of their electric
bill from the energy generated through a credit.
Community solar is important because approximately 80
percent of Marylanders are currently unable to choose solar energy, either
because they have shaded roofs, are renters, can’t afford a full system or
don’t have access to their roof.
