Community Solar Energy Generating Systems - Prohibited Locations - Adjacent Parcels
In the House - Hearing 3/13 at 1:30 p.m.
Summary
The measure repeals the rule that blocks a community solar system from being placed on the same or neighboring land if the combined installed capacity would exceed 5 MW, allowing denser solar development. It applies to developers, utilities and low‑ and moderate‑income subscribers while keeping exemptions for rooftops, industrial zones, brownfields, parking structures, rights‑of‑way, airports and other specified sites, and adds a 10 MW threshold with LMI or agrivoltaic conditions. The change is intended to expand access to community solar across Maryland.
