FY26 MARYLAND SOLAR ACCESS PROGRAM - UPDATED October 16, 2025
The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) has opened the FY26 Maryland Solar Access Program (MSAP) for applications as of
July 21, 2025.
MEA is currently working with a third-party consulting agency to review submitted applications and ensure that all materials align with program requirements.
We understand that this process may be taking longer than initially expected. However, this additional review will help prevent unnecessary application rejections and streamline the process for both contractors and applicants.
The MEA MSAP Team is currently processing the queue of FY25 MSAP invoices in order of receipt and will notify recipients with more information once their payment has been updated.
The FY26 Participating Contractor List Application is currently closed for programmatic updating, please check back shortly, and look for an e-mail announcement.
FY26 MSAP INFORMATION BEGINS BELOW
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. This program was established by the Maryland General Assembly’s passage of the Brighter Tomorrow Act of 2024 (Chapter 595, 2024 Acts of Maryland), and is codified in
§9-2016 of the State Government Article, Annotated Code of Maryland.
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 requirements are provided in the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), posted in the “Program Documents” section below. 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 FY26 MEA Maryland Solar Access Program is a non-competitive program that makes awards on a first-come, first-served basis. The application is a two-step process: an initial application to reserve funds and a solar installation completion verification.
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.
Program Offering: 12:00 PM ET July 21, 2025 - 12:00 PM ET June 5, 2026
Important FY26 Program Notice:
MEA will accept solar PV contracts executed starting June 13, 2025, for the FY26 MSAP contingent upon the solar PV installation contractor's completion of the FY26 Participating Contractor List application and MEA's approval.
