Title: Community Solar in Maryland: Clean Energy Projects That Preserve Open Space 

Description: Can Maryland advance large solar energy projects and preserve its precious open spaces? Yes! The state’s new community solar program has opened solar to residents who thought they’d never enjoy its benefits. Now, families who rent a home, live in a condominium, or cannot access residential solar can save money and use clean energy. By installing community solar projects on large commercial warehouses and self-storage facilities, Solar Landscape conserves natural space, too. In this presentation, county elected officials and other community leaders will learn about how community solar is reducing costs for residents, creating jobs, and advancing clean energy equity.
