Why Montgomery County Homeowners Are Going Solar
Montgomery County homeowners served by PEPCO face some of the highest electricity rates in the DC metro area. Average monthly residential bills regularly exceed $160–$210, and rates have increased steadily over the past decade. Solar gives homeowners a way to generate their own electricity and significantly reduce — or eliminate — what they pay PEPCO each month.
Maryland's current net metering program provides 1:1 retail credit for every kilowatt-hour your panels send back to the grid. That means excess production during sunny days offsets your usage at night or on cloudy days — dollar for dollar at the retail rate. This program is in effect until Maryland's 3,000 MW cap is reached or July 1, 2027, whichever comes first.
Montgomery County also offers unique local advantages through the Montgomery County Green Bank, which provides low-interest financing for residential solar. Combined with state and federal incentives, Montgomery County homeowners have access to one of the most comprehensive solar incentive stacks in the country.
