Going Solar in Maryland
Aurica is expanding to Maryland, with service starting in January 2027. Get on the list now and we will check availability for your address before we start.
Maryland offers retail net metering today and a state rebate for home batteries. Its net metering rules for new systems are set to change, so timing matters.
UTILITIES
Maryland Electric Utilities
Maryland’s main electric utilities are BGE (Baltimore Gas and Electric), Pepco, Delmarva Power, Potomac Edison and SMECO. Electric co-ops serve some rural areas.
NET METERING
Net Metering and Export Rules
Under Maryland net metering, extra solar power earns credits at the retail rate that roll over month to month, with a yearly settlement for anything left over.
Maryland has set a timeline to replace net metering for new systems with a different program. Ask us which rules will apply when your system turns on.
WAYS TO PAY
Cash or a Solar PPA
Aurica offers two ways to pay. You can pay cash and own the system. Or you can choose a solar power purchase agreement (PPA), where you pay for the power the panels produce, with either a 0% yearly rate (the contracted per-kWh rate stays flat) or a 3.5% yearly increase. Qualifying PPA offers can be $0 upfront. PPA availability and terms depend on your address, and your signed agreement sets the details. Savings are not guaranteed.
BATTERY STORAGE
Q.HOME CORE and Tesla Powerwall 3
Aurica offers two home batteries: Q.HOME CORE from Qcells and Tesla Powerwall 3. A battery stores solar power for the evening and can keep your essentials running during an outage. How long backup lasts depends on battery size and what you run. We help you compare the two for your home.
Maryland’s state battery rebate can lower the cost of adding Q.HOME CORE or Tesla Powerwall 3, if funds are available when you apply.
