Maryland’s beauty is undeniable. Solar helps keep it that way

The sky above the Chesapeake Bay flames out in vivid colors at sunset. The salt marshes teem with rich ecosystems of plants and wildlife. Maryland is truly stunning.

Like the rest of the nation, Maryland’s natural beauty is threatened by climate change. 79% of Maryland’s energy is produced using fossil fuels and other non-renewable energy sources. Burning fossil fuels release greenhouse gases that exacerbate global warming.

Generating electricity from solar energy doesn’t require burning any fossil fuels and doesn’t produce greenhouse gases. Solar panels don’t release pollutants into the air outside or inside your home.

In 2020, Maryland was named one of the most improved states by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, for prioritizing energy efficiency as a resource, but there’s still a lot of work to do. A little bit goes a long way in helping preserve Maryland’s beauty, and by going solar you can play your part.

The sun will never run out of energy

By using solar to power your home, you will help ease the intense demand placed on nonrenewable sources of energy like coal and natural gas. When those energy sources run out, there’s no going back. When they’re gone, they’re gone. Period.

But the sun releases more energy every 1.5 millionths of a second than the entire world consumes in a year. It’s an ample source of energy that won’t run out, as long as the sun is shining!
