Contractor Resources

For residential solar installations, you can start by looking into the regional solar energy association – CHESSA. CHESSA provides resources to help you find reliable and qualified professionals for the job. These contractors have the knowledge and skills to assess your home’s suitability for solar, design an efficient system, and install it safely and effectively.

The same is true for geothermal systems. For more information on finding a contractor visit the Maryland Geothermal Association website.
