Community solar opens the benefits of solar to anyone who receives an electric bill, including lower-income residents, businesses, municipalities, schools and non-profits. In addition, its cost competitiveness and ability to expand into new markets is driving investments in Maryland communities at a time when they are greatly needed.
Standard Solar, Inc., a leading solar energy company specializing in the development, funding and operations of solar electric systems nationwide, is bringing more than 8,000,000 kWh of annual energy supply to Maryland community solar subscribers, in partnership with Ogos Energy LLC, Earth and Air Technologies and Neighborhood Sun.
The two projects, a combined 5.5 megawatts (MW), are expected to provide savings and clean power to approximately 800 Maryland households as subscribers.

Solar Builder readers submitted their coolest, most innovative and noteworthy solar projects of the last 12 months, and after combing through another record amount of submissions, Ogos Energy LLC’s Old New Windsor Solar Project has been selected as a 2020 Project of the Year finalist!
The Old New Windsor Solar Project on Fritz Family Farm turned 12 low-yield acres of their grain, hay and cattle farm into productive acreage once again. For the Fritz family, the solar development will produce 4,000 MWh annually from single axis trackers. This creates a steady source of income for their farm — a critical consideration in these days of wildly fluctuating commodity prices — by selling the power to an off-site offtaker. In this case, WSSC Water, one of the largest water and wastewater utilities in the nation, will be purchasing the power produced by the Fritz Family Farm project. The expectation is that the power will help WSSC meet its own internal sustainability goals as well as providing additional value to their Maryland customers.
