The Science Capital
Goes Solar
Gaithersburg is 4x Sustainable Maryland Certified and home to NIST. Now you can save 10–25% on your electric bill with community solar — no panels, no installation, no upfront cost.
Why Gaithersburg Leads on Sustainability
Gaithersburg isn't just any Maryland city. Home to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and its 15,000-panel solar array, the city has earned Sustainable Maryland certification four consecutive times since 2011.
With an active Climate Action Plan, energy and green building incentives, and the largest rooftop community solar project in Montgomery County at Seneca Village (2.18 MW), Gaithersburg is walking the walk. Community solar is the easiest way for every resident to join in.
