“Is the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. a good place for solar panels?”

Germany is one of the largest solar markets in the world and they do not have solar conditions as good as we do here in the United States.

The maps in the link below show the comparison. The darker colors represent more intense sun exposure. So, whether you are installing a solar water heater or a solar electric system, most of the U.S. is a great place.

1. Poor Specifications.

You should know what you are buying, right? I can’t tell you how many times people considering solar in Maryland hand me a solar installation estimate that lacks the necessary specifications and details. These people have no idea what they are actually buying! How many solar panels will be installed? What size tank comes with your new solar water heater? The point is…know what you are buying.

2. Failure To Include Required Solar Installation Permits.

Inexperienced solar installers forget or are not familiar with the required solar installation permits. Shady solar installers will intentionally leave out permits to reduce costs. This will cause a major problem for you (read this post on solar building permits).

3. Inflated Tax Incentive Expectations.

Maryland solar tax incentives are terrific, but don’t let a slick solar salesperson exaggerate the reality. Click here for Maryland solar tax incentive information.

Staying up to date on the current Maryland Solar Energy Grant Programs is critically important. Often a web site will copy and paste information and forget to update or be very slow to update as the Maryland Solar Energy Grant Programs change. These are the 2 sites you can depend on: Maryland Energy Administration and DSIRE Maryand.
