Baltimore Community Solar — Common Questions

Everything Baltimore BGE customers ask before enrolling.

How much can I save on my BGE bill with community solar?
Baltimore BGE customers typically save 10–20% on their annual electricity bill. Most StarShine LLC members see $20–$50 in monthly credits, depending on their usage level.
What is the BGE Community Solar Program?
The BGE Community Solar Program allows BGE customers to subscribe to a share of a local Maryland solar farm. The energy produced by that farm generates credits that are applied directly to your BGE bill — no panels needed on your property.
Do I need to install solar panels on my Baltimore home?
No. Community solar requires zero installation. The solar panels are on a farm elsewhere in Maryland. You simply subscribe to a share of the output and receive credits on your BGE bill.
Is there any cost to enroll in community solar in Baltimore?
No upfront cost, no monthly fees, no installation charges. You pay only your regular BGE bill — which will be lower thanks to the solar credits.
Can Baltimore renters qualify for community solar?
Yes. Renters and homeowners alike qualify. All you need is an active BGE account. You do not need to own your home or have roof access.
How does the $50 Visa gift card work?
After your enrollment is confirmed by BGE and your solar credits are activated, StarShine LLC delivers a $50 Visa gift card to your email. No hoops, no surveys.
What is Consolidated Billing for BGE customers?
Maryland's Consolidated Billing means your community solar credits appear directly on your existing BGE statement. You don't get a separate bill from the solar provider — it's all combined on your BGE account for easy tracking.
