Maryland Home Improvement Commission - Residential Solar Power System Installation - Contractor License Required

This bill requires contractors to hold a valid license from the Maryland Home Improvement Commission to install residential solar power systems. It amends the definition of "home improvement" to explicitly include solar installations (specifically, "installation of solar power system equipment that is used to generate electricity for use on the property"), making such work subject to the state's existing contractor licensing rules. The law applies to any person (excluding property owners' employees) who performs or offers to perform these installations for residential properties. The requirement will take effect on October 1, 2025.
