How do you get solar on your home? We talk with Montgomery County Larissa and Odette from the County's Department of Environmental Protection to make solar power feel practical, understandable, and worth your time, whether your goal is lowering your electric bill or doing your part on climate.
We start with the quick and easy ways to save energy right now, including thermostat choices that can shift your costs and easy lighting upgrades like LED swaps through county “illumination stations.”
From there, we learn about theSwitch Together program. We cover roof concerns, warranties, squirrel guards, and how installers are selected through Solar United Neighbors. Our county solar specialist also explains Maryland net metering in plain English, what a kilowatt hour really means, and why community solar is a great alternative for renters or shaded roofs.
