Description
The Maryland Solar Access Program is a residential solar photovoltaic (PV) rebate program administered by the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA). It helps low-to-moderate income Maryland residents install solar PV systems to power their homes with clean, affordable, and sustainable electricity. Its focus is household solar installation assistance rather than research or nonresidential projects.
The program is included in MEA’s FY2027 residential buildings offerings as a rebate requiring an upfront reservation. It targets income-eligible households that contract with a vendor on the program’s participating contractor list. The FY2027 planning notice is subject to change, with specific requirements and rebate terms to be set out in the program’s Funding Opportunity Announcement.
