Solar Planning Built Around Your Roof & Energy Use

A successful Solar Power Installation starts with the property, not the panels. Roof condition, available space, the roof’s orientation, shading, and energy consumption patterns all influence whether rooftop solar fits your household goals.

Solar specialists evaluate those factors through a home energy audit before preparing a personalized design. Solar energy systems can also be planned alongside Tesla® Powerwalls® for solar battery storage and EV chargers when those options are part of your home energy plan.

Request a free solar consultation to discuss your home’s solar potential. Call (301) 579-0110 to get started.

A Solar Savings Plan Based on Your Home

After the home energy audit, solar specialists create a complimentary solar savings plan based on the home’s energy profile and roof characteristics. This plan gives you a clearer basis for evaluating clean, renewable energy without relying on a one-size-fits-all estimate.

The savings plan compares replacing an electricity bill with a solar payment over the life of the system. Actual costs and potential savings depend on system design, household consumption, available programs, utility requirements, and payment terms. Your consultation is the time to review details specific to your property.

Solar Panel Installation & Project Coordination

A residential solar project involves more than mounting equipment. The process generally moves through design review, permit approval, solar panel installation, inspections, utility interconnection, and system activation.

Go Solar Power® handles permits, inspections, and utility connections as part of the installation process. The solar panels are connected to the customer’s current utility company. Specific requirements depend on the property, system design, local authorities, and utility procedures.

Professional coordination may include:

System Planning: Developing a personalized design using roof and household energy information.
Permit Coordination: Handling applicable permits before installation begins.
Installation: Completing the solar panel installation according to the approved design.
Inspection Coordination: Arranging required inspections for the completed work.
Utility Connection: Coordinating the utility connections needed before operation.

Maryland Solar Programs & Gaithersburg Permitting

Permitting and incentive programs may affect plans for a Solar Power Installation. Because requirements and eligibility can change, confirm the current rules for your property and proposed system before making financial or scheduling decisions.

SolarAPP+ Permitting

The City of Gaithersburg offers SolarAPP+ as an optional automated permitting pathway for eligible standard residential rooftop solar and energy storage projects. Projects that don’t meet its requirements follow the applicable standard review process.

Properties in historic districts that require a Historic Area Work Permit are excluded from the SolarAPP+ pathway. Other permit requirements may vary based on project type, property location, and system design.

Net Energy Metering & Solar Renewable Energy Credits

Eligible Maryland solar customers may be able to participate in net energy metering, which accounts for qualifying electricity sent from a solar photovoltaic system to the grid. Eligibility and credit treatment depend on utility rules, interconnection approval, system specifications, and current program requirements.

Solar Renewable Energy Credits represent the renewable attributes associated with qualifying solar electricity generation. Participation requirements, credit values, and administrative rules can change, so these credits shouldn’t be treated as guaranteed savings.

Solar & Energy Storage Incentives

Maryland may offer incentives or financing pathways for certain residential solar, energy storage, and income-qualified projects. Availability, funding, deadlines, and eligibility depend on current program rules. Review any potential incentive separately from the personalized solar savings plan.
