Solar Energy Grant Program

Along with the geothermal pump grant program, Maryland is accepting applications for their solar energy grant program.

The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) has reopened the Solar Energy Grant Program as result of funds made possible by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Public Law 111-5 (ARRA or Recovery Act).  Limited funding is still available to Maryland residents and small businesses who intend to install qualified solar photovoltaic, or solar hot water systems.

Program Structure:

System must be under 20kW to be eligible; maximum grant amount is $10,000.
