Maryland Solar Installation

Maryland Solar Facts

Milestone Solar isn’t one of Maryland’s biggest solar installers – and we don’t want to be. By performing dozens of installations a year, not hundreds, there’s no need for high-pressure salesmanship, for rushing jobs or for cutting corners, just to make our numbers.

We’re proud to meet or exceed Maryland’s licensing standards, and to have earned the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners’ PV [photovoltaic] Technical Sales Certification and their PV Installation Professional Certification. (Only 93 solar professionals nationwide have earned both.)

And to make sure sure your solar array goes in on time and on budget, that it performs as promised, and that it gives you decades of trouble-free, dependable, money-saving service.

Maryland’s got plenty of sunlight for you to take advantage of.

Even when it’s cloudy, a Milestone Solar system generates electricity and saves you money.
