Why customers go solar
Take Your Power Back
- 1
Utility rates keep climbing
The regional grid that powers Maryland and Virginia homes is paying record prices to keep up with demand, and utilities pass those costs straight on to your bill.
- 2
Energy independence
Solar paired with battery storage means your home runs on power you produce, at a cost you control, and keeps running when the grid does not.
- 3
One complete ecosystem
Solar panels, battery backup and EV charging, designed and installed together by one local team, so every piece works with the next.
The price of keeping the lights on
PJM capacity price for the grid serving MD & VA, dollars per megawatt-day by delivery year
Think of it as the grid's insurance premium: a mandatory fee paid to power plants to stay on standby so the lights stay on at peak demand. You never use it, but you pay for it, because utilities pass it straight through to your bill.

Why it hits your monthly bill
-
Passed-through supply costs
Utilities don't absorb wholesale hikes. The cost flows directly to you.
-
Higher fixed supply rates
Capacity is a baseline cost, and multiyear spikes lock in higher supply rates.
-
Immediate retail rate impact
Average bills rising 5% to 20%: MD and D.C.-area homeowners are already seeing $18 to $21 more a month.
