Take a share of a Maryland solar farm and lower your bill. The credit lands on the Potomac Edison statement you already get, so there is nothing to install at your home, no equipment, and no upfront cost to enroll.
Downtown Cumberland
Any Cumberland home on Potomac Edison lowers its electric bill by 10 percent. There is no credit check and no income question to answer for this one.
Households under the Maryland income limit for their size, or on a programme like SNAP, LIHEAP or Medicaid, save 25 percent instead.
You answer the income question yourself. There is nothing to photocopy, upload or prove, and no paperwork to send in afterwards.
Savings apply to the value of the community solar credits on your bill. A solar farm produces more in summer than in winter, so the credit moves month to month rather than staying flat.
The C&O Canal towpath ends in Cumberland at mile 184.5. These are shorter.
We confirm Potomac Edison serves you and find a Maryland farm with room for your household.
Household size, and whether your income is under the Maryland limit. You answer it yourself.
One picture of your Potomac Edison statement, so your account number goes on correctly.
Your agreement is filled in and signed in the browser. The credit starts on a later bill.
Community solar reaches households a rooftop system never could. The subscription attaches to your electric account, not to the building, so it works the same whether you own your home or rent it.
No. Nothing is installed and there is no equipment. Your share of a solar farm somewhere else in Maryland shows up as a credit on your Potomac Edison bill.
Yes. The subscription attaches to your electric account rather than to the building, so you do not need to involve a landlord.
Nothing. You state your household size and whether your income is under the Maryland limit, or whether you are on a qualifying assistance programme. There are no documents to verify.
No. You keep one bill from Potomac Edison. The community solar credit appears on it, and you end up paying less than you would have.
You can cancel anytime. There is no upfront cost to enroll and no cancellation penalty.
Community solar is a Maryland programme. Our Power Co., trading as My Utility Advisor, is licensed by the Maryland Public Service Commission to enroll households, and Potomac Edison remains your electric company throughout.
