    Why Towson Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar

    Towson's energy landscape presents unique opportunities for solar adoption. With BGE (Baltimore Gas & Electric) electricity rates rising consistently and Maryland's coastal weather requiring reliable backup power, homeowners and businesses across Baltimore County are discovering the financial and practical benefits of solar energy and battery storage systems.

    💰

    Rising Energy Costs

    Maryland electricity rates through BGE average 14-16 cents per kWh residential—among the highest on the East Coast. Solar systems lock in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing predictable savings that compound as utility rates continue climbing. Towson businesses face even higher commercial rates averaging 12-14 cents per kWh plus significant demand charges during summer peak cooling periods.

    ⛈️

    Weather Reliability Concerns

    Baltimore County experiences frequent summer thunderstorms with lightning, winter ice storms, occasional coastal impacts from hurricanes and nor'easters, and severe weather events that regularly disrupt power. Battery storage systems provide essential backup for home comfort, sump pumps, medical equipment, and business continuity. Average Towson home experiences 2-3 power outages annually lasting 3-10 hours each—battery systems bridge these gaps seamlessly.

    ☀️

    Good Solar Resources

    Towson receives 4.2 peak sun hours daily and approximately 210 sunny days annually—solid solar resources for the Mid-Atlantic region. Maryland's moderate climate avoids the extreme heat that reduces panel efficiency in southern states, resulting in consistent year-round production. Well-designed systems generate 1,050-1,250 kWh annually per installed kW, providing excellent return on investment for Baltimore County installations.

    📋

    Available Incentives

    The 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit remains available through 2032 for all solar installations. Maryland offers property tax exemptions for residential renewable energy systems, ensuring your solar investment doesn't increase property taxes. Net metering ensures you receive retail credit for excess solar production sent to the BGE grid. Commercial installations qualify for accelerated MACRS depreciation, recovering 85% of costs within six years.

    Energy Solutions Tailored to Towson's Needs

    Whether you're a homeowner looking to reduce utility bills, a contractor serving the Greater Baltimore area, or a business seeking to cut operational costs, PES delivers the products, expertise, and logistics support to ensure project success in Baltimore County's diverse climate and competitive energy market.

    What Towson Customers Say

    Real results from homeowners, contractors, and businesses throughout Baltimore County and the Greater Baltimore metropolitan area.

    "After watching our BGE bills climb every summer, we invested in solar with battery backup. Our 8.5kW system now covers most of our usage, and the Powerwall kept our AC and refrigerator running during last August's storm when power was out for 9 hours. The PowerLink installer PES recommended handled everything professionally—permits, installation, BGE interconnection. First-year savings: $1,450."

    Emily T. profile photo
    Emily T. Towson Homeowner, 8.5kW System

    "Running a solar installation business in Baltimore County means coordinating multiple projects across Towson and surrounding areas. PES's 48-hour delivery commitment has been essential—when I need panels or inverters, materials arrive quickly without me having to stock huge inventory. Their PowerLink wholesale pricing on bulk orders and responsive customer service has given me a real competitive advantage in the Maryland market."

    David M. profile photo
    David M. PowerLink Contractor, Baltimore County

    "Our office building in Lutherville-Timonium was paying $3,200+ monthly to BGE with massive demand charges during summer cooling. PES designed a 70kW rooftop system with wholesale PowerLink pricing that's cut our electricity costs by $1,950 monthly. The federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation made the numbers work incredibly well. System paid for itself in 5.8 years and we've now eliminated demand charges completely during daylight hours."
