MD Energy Programs

Maryland offers a range of solar programs to match different property types and energy goals. Behind-the-meter (BTM) systems are ideal for businesses and facilities looking to offset their own energy use and reduce utility bills. Community solar, expanded under HB908 and HB1036, allows property owners to host arrays and sell power to other businesses and residences within their utility jurisdiction. Virtual Net Metering (VNM) lets organizations credit solar generation from one site to other properties they own within the same utility. Wunder can help you navigate these options, as well other opportunities like Renewable Energy Credit (REC) sales and details like Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

Behind-The-Meter (BTM)

01

Behind-the-meter solar in Maryland enables businesses to install solar panels on-site and directly offset their electricity usage. This setup reduces utility bills and supports energy independence, while allowing companies to benefit from Maryland net metering and available solar incentives.

Community Solar in Maryland

02

Community solar in Maryland allows property owners to host solar arrays and sell the energy to off-site subscribers, including residents and businesses. Recent legislation like HB908 and HB1036 expands this model, making it easier to generate recurring income while supporting broader access to clean energy.

Virtual Net Metering (VNM)

03

Maryland’s Virtual Net Metering program lets organizations credit solar generation from one location to other properties they own within the same utility service area. Ideal for multi-site businesses, VNM maximizes solar value and simplifies energy management across a portfolio.
