Solar Energy Services will design and install solar energy systems for three new construction projects across Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. The projects include the University of Maryland School of Social Work building in downtown Baltimore, the Wagner Senior Residences in Washington, D.C., and the Patrick Henry Library and Garage in Vienna, Virginia, bringing more than 336 kW of new commercial solar capacity to public and community infrastructure across the region.
With decades of experience designing and installing solar energy systems across Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia, Solar Energy Services has become a trusted partner for architects, developers, and general contractors seeking to integrate solar into complex commercial projects.
University of Maryland School of Social Work – Baltimore, Maryland
Solar Energy Services will design and install a 132.70 kW rooftop solar system for the new University of Maryland School of Social Work building in downtown Baltimore. The building is expected to feature Baltimore’s first green roof, integrating renewable energy generation with sustainable roof design.
Working alongside Whiting-Turner, the project’s general contractor, Solar Energy Services will integrate the solar system into the building’s broader sustainability strategy. The project highlights how solarized green roofs can support urban sustainability goals while improving building performance and energy resilience.

Wagner Senior Residences – Washington, D.C.
Solar Energy Services will install a 32.45 kW rooftop solar system at Wagner Senior Residences, a new affordable senior housing development currently under construction in Washington, D.C. The project is being developed by Donohoe Construction.
The solar installation will work alongside green roof infrastructure to help offset building energy consumption while supporting long-term sustainability for the residential community. Integrating solar into multifamily developments is becoming an increasingly important strategy for reducing operating costs and improving energy efficiency in new housing projects.

Patrick Henry Library & Garage – Vienna, Virginia
Solar Energy Services is designing a 171.1 kW rooftop canopy solar system for the Patrick Henry Library and Garage project in Vienna, Virginia. The project is being developed by Costello Construction.
The rooftop solar canopy will generate renewable electricity while providing covered parking for library visitors, demonstrating how solar energy systems can be incorporated into civic infrastructure to improve both energy resilience and public amenities. Solar canopies are an increasingly popular solution for municipal and institutional buildings looking to expand renewable energy generation without impacting existing roof space.
