Does Maryland offers a tax credit for solar power installation/use? If so, how do I know if this has been credited to my MD State return? thanks!

Maryland does not currently have an income tax credit for solar installation or use.  They previously had the Maryland Energy Storage Income Tax Credit (MESITC) which was for energy storage (batteries), not the solar panels themselves, but it ended at the close of 2024. 

 

That credit was replaced by the Residential and Commercial Energy Storage Grant Program. This is not an income tax credit, but a grant.  More information can be found here: Residential and Commercial Energy Storage Grant Program
