In addition to solar panel installers and solar thermal (hot water) installers, you'll also find professionals offering home energy audits, energy efficiency consultation and green contracting services. Here are a few things you should know about getting solar in Maryland. A number of state-sponsored incentives help reduce the costs associated with installing a solar energy system. A production-based tax credit is available to individuals and companies. In simple terms, for each kilowatt-hour produced by your solar photovoltaic (PV) panel system, the state will grant you a tax credit of $0.0085 (0.85 cents) each year, for five years. Thus, unlike most states that offer tax credits -- which are usually a one-time affair -- Maryland spreads out the credit and ties it to system production. Hence the name, "production-based" tax credit. Details aside, the credit provides some help to those interested in installing a solar energy system. There is also a more straight-forward -- and more helpful -- option available through the Maryland solar energy grant program. As of mid-2009, funding had been exhausted. Check in with the Maryland Energy Administration for the latest details and updates. Finally, don't forget about the 30-percent federal renewable energy tax credit**, available to both individuals and companies. **Note: for commercial solar power systems installed in 2009 and 2010, companies can opt instead to receive a solar energy grant equal to the 30-percent tax credit.
