Are you tired of your electric bill increasing? Would you like to reduce your carbon output? Look no further! Belmont Solar is a certified Maryland solar company! We are here to help you through the entire process of going solar. We offer state-of-the-art solar energy solutions so you can harness the sun’s power to generate clean, renewable energy while reducing energy bills. Here are three types of solar systems you can use to save on your energy bills, or in most cases, eliminate your monthly utility bill while lowering your carbon footprint.
Grid Tied & Off Grid Solar Systems For Cecil County
Grid Tied Solar Systems
Grid-tied solar systems are the most common type of solar system in Cecil County and nationwide. Grid-tied solar systems are tied to your local electrical grid using a device called an Inverter. Solar panels generate electricity from sunlight in DC format, which the inverter will convert into usable electricity (AC). The electricity produced by the solar panels is used to power the home or business directly. Any excess electricity not immediately consumed is fed back into the grid, which allows you to save that extra power for later use through Net metering. On top of that, you can sell your Solar Renewable Energy Credits ( SRECs). Grid-tied solar panels provide an efficient and cost-effective way to offset electricity usage, reduce or eliminate your utility bills, and reduce your carbon footprint.
Grid-Tied Solar System With Battery Backup
A grid-tied solar system with a battery backup combines the benefits of grid-tied and off-grid solar systems. A grid-tied system with a home battery backup is a hybrid system that allows you to store extra energy at home while also connected to the grid. During the day, your solar system will power your home, charge your backup battery, and feed any excess electricity back into the grid. Your battery backup is used the moment the grid fails, so you can feel safe knowing that no matter what mother nature throws at you you will have power. A grid-tied system with a battery backup allows you to have all the benefits of a grid-tied system and be prepared for emergencies.
Off-Grid Solar Systems
Off-grid solar systems operate independently from the electrical grid. Off-grid solar systems are primarily used in remote areas without access to utility power or in situations where homeowners or businesses prefer to be completely self-sufficient. Off-grid systems typically include solar panels, a battery bank, and inverters. The panels will generate electricity during the day. Excess energy is stored in your battery bank for later use at night. Off-grid solar systems require careful sizing and management of energy usage to ensure a reliable and uninterrupted power supply. An off-grid system is great if you want energy independence for a specific application such as a cabin, remote home, or outdoor installation.

Solar Incentives in Cecil County
The Federal and Maryland governments offer multiple financial incentives for solar installation. They aim to make solar power more accessible and affordable for Maryland residents, businesses, and organizations. You can use these incentives to save on your Cecil County solar panel installation.
Residential Clean Energy Rebate Program
The Residential Clean Energy Rebate Program incentivizes homeowners to install solar panels. You can receive a rebate from the Maryland state government after you install an eligible solar system. Learn more on the Maryland government’s website.
Maryland SRECs
What is an SREC? SREC stands for Solar Renewable Energy Credits. Your solar system generates 1 SREC for every 1,000 Kilowatt hours of power. You can sell SRECs through an SREC broker for an additional revenue source. Your solar company can help you sell your SRECs through a broker. You can learn more about SRECs on our blog.
Net Metering
Net metering only applies to grid-tied systems. Net metering is a billing arrangement with the utility company that allows you to receive credits for the excess electricity your solar panels generate and feed back into the grid. When your solar energy system produces more electricity than is immediately consumed on-site, your system feeds the excess into the grid. Your utility company will give you credits for the surplus electricity generated, which you can use during the winter months when you are not producing as much solar power. Net metering helps offset future electricity consumption from the grid, effectively reducing energy bills. Your meter will record the electricity consumption and subtract credits based on electricity consumption from the grid. Your utility company will reduce your bill according to how many net metering credits you use. These credits are saved to your account with your utility company. You can use these net metering credits to lower your utility bills during lower production months.
