Lucas - Common Energy

About the community solar program

Community solar was established by the Maryland General Assembly in 2015. Through this program, Maryland residents can sign up to support a new, local solar project. The energy from the Solar Project flows to the electric grid, replacing fossil fuels and directly lowering emissions. When you sign up to support this project, you will receive clean energy credits that lower your electric bill.

Joining a solar project:

01 - Check availability

Use your zip code and utility to see if we have a clean energy project in your area with open enrollment.

02 - Connect your utility

Using your utility account information, we will connect your existing account to a new clean energy project.

03 - Payment information

Your connection to the grid will remain the same, but you will receive clean energy credits and pay your utility through Common Energy at a lower cost.

04 - Savings & impact

Each month, we’ll send you a Statement of Savings showing the original cost of the clean energy you enabled, your savings, and your environmental impact.
