Permanent solar energy program launched in Maryland

MARYLAND – Solar energy just got more affordable for Marylanders with the passage and signing of House Bill 908.

Maryland is now the 23rd state in the nation with a permanent community solar program. Nautilus Solar Energy says the technology will improve living conditions and save energy.

This is how it works big community solar projects collect energy that goes to a grid. Grid subscribers would be able to get that solar energy.

“The average person saves between 10% and 25% on their electric bill so really the major difference between the 10% and the 25% if you’re in a low to moderate income household. LMI households actually end up saving more money,” Eric LaMora, the Executive Director of Community Solar said.

Eric LaMora says this means energy justice and equal access for everyone. There’s no upfront cost for the service.
