* Estimates are based on average Maryland solar data, EnergySage market rates, and standard production assumptions. Actual costs and savings vary by roof type, shading, equipment brand, installer, and your specific utility rate. Always obtain at least 3 quotes from licensed installers.

How the Calculator Works

1

Your Bill → System Size

Your monthly bill estimates your electricity usage. We divide by your city's utility rate and peak sun hours to calculate the system size you need.

2

System Size → Install Cost

We apply EnergySage's average cost per watt for your Maryland city ($2.57–$2.65/watt) to estimate the gross installation cost.

3

Local Incentives Applied

We subtract the Federal ITC (expired Dec 2025), Maryland's $1,000 grant, county-specific credits (up to $5,000), and the 6% sales tax exemption.

4

25-Year Savings Projected

We calculate annual savings based on your utility rate and system production, compound 3% annual rate increases, and subtract your net investment.
