ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 15, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- PowerStead Energy, a company based in Maryland, is introducing a new approach to solar energy for residential use. The firm aims to simplify the process of generating electricity at home, making it more accessible to everyday consumers.
According to Jim Rice, one of the co-founders of PowerStead Energy, the company is developing compact solar systems that can be installed in suitable sunny spaces without the need for a rooftop construction project. This approach is designed to give Maryland residents more control over their energy costs and a greater degree of energy independence.
The process for setting up a PowerStead system is straightforward, involving equipment selection, placement guidance, site and outlet screening, mounting instructions, and support throughout the setup. Residents can register their interest on the company's website, powersteadenergy.com, and no deposit is required.
Maryland's 2026 portable solar law establishes a framework for qualifying residential systems. Customers must notify their electric company before installation and provide information about the device's safety features and generating capacity. PowerStead plans to help prospective pilot customers understand these steps and assess whether their property and electrical setup are suitable.
Initial concepts include the compact PowerStead Go system and larger options for households with more usable space. Product specifications, pricing, pilot timing, and availability will be announced when finalized.
Once a qualifying system is properly set up and producing electricity, the household can reduce its electricity purchases from the utility. Savings will depend on sunlight, system size, household usage, and electricity rates.
PowerStead Energy is developing supported, modular plug-in solar products for households seeking a smaller way to produce electricity at home. Starting in Maryland, the company aims to simplify product selection, suitable placement, setup, and ongoing support.
