Founded in 1984, MDV-SEIA represents the interests of manufacturers, installers, distributors and component suppliers serving Maryland, the District of Columbia, Delaware and Virginia. Our members design, sell, integrate, install, maintain and finance solar energy equipment for residential, commercial and institutional customers throughout the region. Among our ranks are the accountants, attorneys, builders, architects, electricians, plumbers, and consultants that support the solar industries.

MDV-SEIA delivers on policy formation and advocacy, market representation, networking, education, and additional benefits to our 180+ members representing over 10,000 direct jobs in our region. We publish a quarterly newsletter for our membership; host an annual solar energy conference, workshops, and a webinar series; and generate targeted analyses and industry reports for our members. We are in a high growth mode: we’re bringing in new members, diversifying our membership services, and raising our profile among state and local legislators and regulators.
