Maryland Incentives & Rebates

Maryland offers Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) — among the most valuable in the country. Maryland Solar Access Program provides rebates for income-qualified households. Property tax credits available in several counties. Sales tax exemption on solar. Note: The federal 30% residential solar tax credit expired December 31, 2025 for customer-owned systems. Solar leases and PPAs may still offer indirect savings from the commercial tax credit. Check with a tax advisor for current eligibility. Source: DSIRE, EnergySage.
