Neighborhood Sun is your friendly clean energy provider with a mission to provide everyone with affordable and clean community solar. You get a share of the energy output from a community solar farm in your area and it is credited to your bill. You accumulate savings because the cost of solar energy is always less than the utility's standard offer, thus lowering your electricity costs every month.

To get your share of a community solar farm's energy, follow the simple online-signup process that takes less than 10 minutes. There is no cost to join and you can cancel for free at any time. You will receive your solar energy as a credit each month on your existing electricity bill. You pay Neighborhood Sun for your community solar energy at a lower cost.

It doesn't matter if you rent, lease, or own your home. Anyone with an electricity bill from a major utility across our service territory can take advantage of our community solar program. Community solar will be a game changer in Maryland, finally opening up access to local clean energy for a lot more people.
Services
We are a small team with different background and experiences - but with one common goal: strengthening communities through local solar power. Gary is a senior executive and strategic thinker who has been a leader in developing the clean energy market in Maryland and Washington, DC, through innovative marketing, partnerships, business management, and legislative advocacy.
You get a share of the output from a local community solar farm while earning a credit on your bill, lowering your electricity costs. Anyone with an electricity bill can tap into shared solar, not just the select few. Our customers receive an average guaranteed savings of 15% on their electricity bills every month.
Finally, the power of the sun belongs to everyone, not just a privileged few. Thanks to state legislation, those who historically have the smallest carbon footprints can now save hundreds of dollars annually on their electric bills. The best is that it does not require a roof, home ownership, or any solar installation at home.
During your application, you authorize us to review your historical electrical use. We use the past 12-24 months of your electric history to calculate the average amount of kWh you will need each month. Payments are based on the amount of electricity generated by your portion of the solar farm, not your actual kWh use.
Neighborhood Sun is a community-focused, grassroots clean energy provider that saves people money on electricity and helps our environment with a simple switch to community solar. Neighborhood Sun is committed to building wealth, health, and jobs for our community members and future generations.

While the billing system seems pretty messed up, customer service was really good in figuring out the errors and acting promptly to correct them. Very pleasant to deal with the agent.

I have found Neighborhood Sun to be an easy way to get my electricity at a lower cost and to support the move toward more alternative energy vs fossil fuels.

Awesome organization - SAVE MONEY - while going all solar. No need for solar equipment on your house. You're buying solar-generated electrons from a solar farm in Maryland.

If you got your Electric Car now you can drive around on the same sunlight you are seeing and feeling. Our NS Solar Farm is literally < 10 miles from our home. No tanker truck, no oil pipelines, natural gas, coal. Not even PJM power grid. Your PV powers your EV, and home. We love it.

Neighborhood Sun has been great for us and the planet. All our household electricity is now generated by solar panels at a local facility. Neighborhood Sun manages this set-up so that the electricity goes to Pepco, then to us. Simple. Easy. They also guarantee to charge 5 cents less per therm than Pepco, so we're saving money while saving the planet (or trying).

Great customer service from well-informed staff. I save 5% on my electric bill each month. Am proud to be a part of my local Dogwood solar project.

So glad that we became a part of this important, community-based solar power effort. It's a win-win-win: win for customers because they pay less for electricity without any sign-up fees, win for local communities because the projects create local jobs and win for the company because they can prove the financial value of undertaking these types of forward-thinking investments. The sign-up was easy and Neighborhood Sun has been very transparent about the project, its progress and the fact that this is new to everyone. There was a billing error, but they resolved it readily.
