Montgomery County is promoting another round of the successful Capital Area Solar Switch program in collaboration with Solar United Neighbors, iChoosr, and other Capital Area governments, including Rockville, Takoma Park, and Bowie, MD.
The program's first iteration, which ran from May to August of 2023 in D.C., Maryland, and Northern Virginia was a resounding success, with almost 2,000 sign-ups across the region. As part of this program, homeowners saved an average of $4,115 on a standard-sized solar installation.

Now in its 11th year, the annual Montgomery County Energy Summit has offered cutting-edge education focused on the latest trends in green building, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and related commercial, multifamily, and residential topics in Montgomery County.
The 2024 Energy Summit will take place on April 15 and 16th at the metro-accessible Silver Spring Civic Building in downtown Silver Spring, MD. This year’s Summit will focus on preparing the commercial building community for compliance with energy benchmarking, building energy performance standards, and emerging building codes.
Not only that but the Summit will provide education sessions, hands-on Q&A and support, an “innovation alley” showcasing products and services, and a networking reception. And did we mention Maryland Secretary of the Environment Serena McIlwain will provide the keynote address on Tuesday?
Registration is $40/day, or $75 for both days. To request free entry to the Energy Summit due to financial hardship, please contact energy@montgomerycountymd.gov with the nature of your request.
