Switching to solar power in Maryland

Everything you need to know about making the switch to solar, from process and pricing to tax rebates and more.

Why switch to Solar in MD?

Save money while helping the state go carbon-neutral

With over 100,000 homes being powered by solar – Maryland homeowners are on their way to achieving their goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.

Get paid when you generate excess energy

With mandated net metering, your utility company is required by law to compensate you for excess energy your system generates.

Pay the same amount every month

No more fluctuating power bills. By switching to solar, you’ll pay the same amount every month for the length of your loan.

Get free energy once your system is paid off

After paying off your loan, any power you generate is free (average US payback time is 5-15 years, which means decades of free power!).

No upfront or out-of-pocket cost to switch

ION Developer, LLC offers you some of the best financing options available in the solar industry. Our goal is to reduce your current monthly power bill while allowing you to pay off your power completely.

“ION has been transparent, responsive, and knowledgeable since the first visit”

“They handheld me through the process and communicated constantly to make sure I knew where we were at and what was needed from me to keep things going. Both the project management of the install and the install have been world-class. Panels installed the same day. What took the longest was getting HOA approval and timeline for city inspection. They are also super nice.”

Joe Estay

“Great communicators and incredibly efficient”

“I recently worked with Ion Solar for solar panels on my home. The entire team was wonderful, start to finish. They are great communicators and incredibly efficient and do great work! I would happily recommend them to anyone in the market for solar panels!”

Amber Ross

“Installation crew was professional and kept me informed every step of the way”

“This has been a great experience from start to finish. Sales rep Rick was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer every one of my questions and concerns. Installation crew was professional and kept me informed every step of the way. I am happy I made the decision to go solar with ION Solar.”

Silke Spang

“ION took care of everything – from setting up approval with our HOA to getting our panels installed.”

“Excellent experience so far with this company! They took care of everything - from setting up approval with our HOA to getting our panels installed. Currently we are waiting for our water company to switch out the meter. The panel installers were very professional and answered all of our questions. Job took two days, and their return was delayed because of the weather. Looking forward to a decrease in our energy bill.”

Claire Toney

“ION kept me in the loop of everything that's going on and I couldn't ask for a better service”

“I always considered getting solar panels and I see the ads for it constantly on Facebook and YouTube and what not, but I never took the step to looking into it. ION ended up coming to my house to give a presentation (to determine if I qualify) and I decided that it was worth the cost to benefit. From that moment everything has been amazing and smooth. They take care of everything from start to finish, they keep me in the loop of everything that's going on and I couldn't ask for a better service. Also the app is really easy to use. If you're thinking about getting solar, go to Ion for it.”

Derrick Smith

“ION Solar made the whole process of getting my solar panels super easy”

“They did everything very quickly on their end and the slower parts of the process was mostly waiting for HOA to approve and getting the correct permits to install. Every appointment they set up they made me aware through both email and text message with clear instructions so that helped a lot. They were always on time with their appointments as well. The installation of the panels was also really fast so super happy with the work they did.”

How does solar work?

Solar panels are made of special cells (PV or photovoltaic cells) that absorb sunlight and produce an electrical current.

In order for your home to use that electrical current (known as DC or Direct Current), it must be converted into AC (or Alternating Current), which is done through micro inverters that are attached to each solar panel.

Once the energy has been converted, it runs through your electrical panel, gets distributed within your home, and can be used to power your appliances, lights, and more.
