Baltimore, MD · Storage for solar homes
When the block goes dark,
your house stays on.
You already put solar on your roof. A home battery stores that power for outages, after-sunset use, and rising BGE rates — so the energy you're already making works when you actually need it.

You already have panels
Solar makes power. A battery lets you keep it.
Panels and a battery do two different jobs. If you've already got the panels, the battery is the piece that turns "lower bills on sunny days" into real energy security.
01 · Outage backup
Keep power when BGE drops
Here's what most solar owners don't know: grid-tied panels shut off during an outage for safety — so on their own they leave you in the dark too. A battery keeps your fridge, lights, and Wi-Fi running when the block goes down.
02 · After sunset
Use your own solar at night
Right now your panels send midday surplus to the grid — and you buy it back at retail after dark. A battery stores that surplus so you spend it at night instead of paying for the same energy twice.
03 · Rate protection
Get ahead of time-of-use rates
As Maryland moves toward time-of-use pricing, evenings get expensive. A battery lets you run on stored solar through the peak hours instead of the meter.
The ride-through
Charged by day.
Carries the house by night.
Your panels top the battery off while the sun's up. When the grid fails — or the evening peak hits — it powers what matters and quietly recharges the next morning. No gas, no noise, no rationing candles.

The honest story on 2026 incentives.
You'll still see ads promising a 30% tax credit. Here's the truth: The federal 30% residential credit ended December 31, 2025. Maryland's storage tax credit ended after 2024; its replacement grant is periodic and first-come, first-served — the 2026 round is fully subscribed.
There's still one way to capture federal credit value: if you lease or go with a PPA, the system's owner can still claim the federal clean-energy credit and pass the value to you as lower payments — one of the last ways to capture it, and it's time-limited. We'll walk you through both buying and lease/PPA, tell you the moment the next Maryland grant round opens, and be straight about what actually applies to your home.
