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.
Try it — drag the sun
Watch what your panels actually do all day.
Solar makes power on the sun's schedule, not yours. Drag the sun across the sky and watch how much of a typical home your panels cover — and where the gap opens up after dark. (An illustration, not a quote — your real numbers come from a free assessment.)
At 1:00 PM, your panels cover
100% of your home
You're making more than you use. Without a battery, the extra flows to the grid for pennies.
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.
Incentive rules change fast — last checked July 2026. This isn't tax advice; we'll confirm what actually applies to your home.
