Mostly BGE territory

Howard County is served primarily by BGE. We confirm which utility serves your address before we run your numbers, since a few areas near county lines can differ.

Planned communities, planned solar

Columbia’s many planned neighborhoods often come with HOA design guidelines. Our all-black panel layouts are designed with that kind of aesthetic review in mind, and we help you prepare the approval request.

Mature trees, careful design

Howard County’s older neighborhoods have beautiful mature trees. That makes shade analysis and inverter choice important, and it is something we look at carefully before recommending a system.

Storm resilience

Wind and storm outages are a fact of life in wooded suburbs. Pairing solar with battery backup is a popular choice here for exactly that reason.
