- Maryland, DC, & Virginia Solar Energy Industries Association: “Our members design, sell, integrate, install, maintain and finance solar energy equipment for residential, commercial, and institutional customers throughout the region. Among our ranks are the accountants, attorneys, builders, architects, electricians, plumbers, and consultants that support the solar industries. We analyze and communicate the market impacts of state and local energy policy, but more importantly, we help to shape these policies in Maryland, the District of Columbia, Delaware, and Virginia. In the last two years alone, MDV-SEIA’s leadership has resulted in increased state mandated requirements as well as increased penalties for non-compliance, creation of a solar thermal market, improvements to net metering, and game changing gains in the deployment of these green energy technologies.”
- Solar United Neighbors – “We’re a community of people building a new energy system with rooftop solar at the cornerstone. We help people go solar, join together, and fight for their energy rights.” This non-profit also hosts the community solar listserv, which is open to any individual or business interested in supporting the growth of solar in the state. The listserv includes people who have gone solar, want to go solar, and people who work on solar installations or solar policy. It’s informative and interesting.
