Welcome to MDV-SEIA!

We are a vibrant and growing trade association, the voice of the solar industry in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Virginia.

We are dedicated to the notion that a solar economy means more jobs; cleaner air; a more reliable energy supply; resiliency against the growing threat of climate change; and lower, more predictable energy bills.

We empower people to harness the energy of the sun. We advocate for public policies and creative financing tools in our region that broaden solar markets and improve the business climate for those engaged in the solar industry. By bridging information gaps among citizens, industry and elected officials, MDV-SEIA enables the sensible adoption of clean, job-creating solar energy.

MDV-SEIA was founded in 1984 as a 501(c)(6) trade association of photovoltaics and solar thermal manufacturers, distributors and component suppliers. Our membership includes companies that design, sell, install and maintain solar energy equipment for residential, commercial and institutional customers throughout the region. We are also the accountants, lawyers, builders, architects, electricians, plumbers, and consultants that support the solar industries.

MDV-SEIA is a formal chapter and proud member of the Solar Energy Industries Association, www.seia.org.
