The Baltimore Business Journal recently covered Solar Landscape’s expansion into Maryland’s community solar market. It highlights the company’s launch of its first community solar projects in the state and explores the significant savings provided to subscribers, particularly low-income residents.
Here’s a brief overview of the article:
Key Takeaways

- 5,870 homes will receive bill savings through community solar credits, many of which are low-income customers.
- Up to $100 million will be invested into Maryland’s clean energy future
Solar Landscape, the nation’s leading commercial rooftop solar developer, has powered up 14 new community solar projects across Maryland, adding 6.6 megawatts (MW) of clean energy to the state’s power grid.
These installations mark the beginning of Solar Landscape’s 57-project expansion in Maryland, set to be fully operational over the next 12 to 18 months, and represents the largest portfolio of community solar projects developed by a single company in the state. The portfolio will deliver 55 MW of renewable energy to Maryland’s grid, with additional projects expected to join the queue.
In parallel with a nationwide boom in solar development, the company’s expansion into Maryland represents a significant investment—up to $100 million—into increasing renewable energy generating capacity. In addition to contributing to the state’s clean energy goals, the installations will also generate a zero-capex revenue stream for property owners while providing the opportunity for residents to benefit from affordable, renewable energy.
