FY26 Maryland Solar Access Program Information for Existing Applicants
Program Purpose: The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) FY26 Maryland Solar Access Program (MSAP) is provided to help eligible Maryland residents install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems to power their homes with clean, affordable, and sustainable energy.

§9-2016 of the State Government Article, Annotated Code of Maryland.
Fiscal Year 2026 Program Type: Rebate Program (Upfront Reservation Required). This means applicants must apply for an upfront rebate reservation and the rebate reservation must be approved by MEA before installation of the solar PV system.

Eligible Applicants: The following types of entities were eligible to apply:
