Program Purpose: The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) FY25 Maryland Solar Access Program is provided to help eligible Maryland residents install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to power their homes with clean, affordable, and sustainable energy. This program was established as the “Customer-sited Solar Grant Program” by the Maryland General Assembly’s passage of 2024 S.B. 783, known as the Brighter Tomorrow Act of 2024, and it will improve access to the benefits of solar energy to help ensure that no Marylander is left behind in the clean energy transition.
Program Description: The Maryland Solar Access Program is offered to Maryland residents who meet the program's income requirements on a first-come, first-served basis. Full income and eligibility requirement is provided in the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). As required by statute, the application process will occur in two steps, further described in the “Type of Program” section below.
Type of Program: The FY25 MEA Maryland Solar Access Program will be a non-competitive program with awards made on a first-come, first-served basis. The application process will consist of two steps: an initial application to reserve funds and a solar installation completion verification. In order to receive payment of the funds, applicants will have 180 days from the date that they receive confirmation of reserved funds to have the solar system fully installed and operational. This is a statutory requirement of the program.
Guidance Documents for Residents and Contractors: The agency has prepared the following guidance documents to help Maryland residents and solar energy system installation contractors understand program's specifics. Each applicant and their installation contractor is strongly encouraged to review these resources prior to submitting a Maryland Solar Access Program application. This can help reduce the amount of time it takes to process the application.
APPLICATION PORTAL NOW OPEN
In order to reserve funding, eligible Maryland residents and third parties applying on behalf of eligible residents may visit the following link to create a user account and complete step one of the application.
VENDOR APPLICATION PORTAL
To participate in the Maryland Solar Access Program, solar PV contractors are required to
complete an application for inclusion on a Participating Contractor List. Once approved, the contractor will be posted publicly on this webpage in the "Participating Contractor List" section below. If solar sales and solar installation are managed by two different contractors, then both contractors are required to complete an application for inclusion on the Participating Contractor List.
POLICY STATEMENT ON MARYLAND SOLAR ACCESS PROGRAM AND SOLAR ENERGY EQUITY PROGRAM GRANT FUNDING
A solar PV system that has already received funding from the Maryland Energy Administration’s
Solar Energy Equity Grant Program (“SEE Program”), either through a county or municipal government, or a nonprofit organization,
is
not eligible for a Maryland Solar Access Program grant. MEA will cancel a Maryland Solar Access Program grant application if we discover that the solar PV system has received SEE Program funding. No exceptions will be made.
PERCENTAGE OF BUDGET RESERVED
The table below provides the percentage of the FY25 Maryland Solar Access Program budget that has been assigned to eligible applications. MEA will update this table regularly, and post the date of the last update below the table.
Last Update to Percentage of Budget Reserved: March 20, 2025

If you are a solar PV contractor that would like to participate in the Program, you can review the requirements and submit an application for approval
here. MEA will update the Participating Contractor List weekly.
