Solar Landscape has energized 14 new community solar projects across Maryland, for a total capacity of 6.6 MW.
The new installations are the first of Solar Landscape’s 57 projects in Maryland, all hosted on commercial rooftops, making it the largest group of community solar projects developed by a single company in Maryland. Once energized, they will collectively provide 55 MWDC of solar capacity.
“Community solar projects like the ones we’ve energized create jobs, reduce energy costs and help Maryland meet its energy needs,” said Solar Landscape CEO and co-founder Shaun Keegan. “Putting large solar installations on commercial rooftops is a smart, shovel-ready energy solution that also pays dividends to building owners.”
The newly energized projects are located in Baltimore (five projects), Gaithersburg (two), Bel Air, Bethesda, Burtonsville, Dundalk, Owings Mills, Westminster and Woodlawn. The projects were interconnected by Baltimore Gas & Electric Company (BGE) and Pepco.
As part of its community solar projects in Maryland, Solar Landscape supports the nationally recognized workforce development non-profit STEP-UP. Together with Woodland Job Corps in Laurel, Maryland, STEP-UP hosted a three-day hands-on solar installation training in 2023 and plans to host another session in Maryland later this year.
