Maryland ran out of solar incentive fund in MEA's budget. Don't count on getting the Maryland State portion of the solar tax credit.
Residents can still get the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit, and possibly real estate tax deductions depending on what county you are located.
Businesses are eligible for the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit and a variety of other tax deductions, depending on many factors including location, compliance with LEED certification, Energy Star, etc.
