The Maryland Energy Administration has a Parking Lot Solar PV Canopy with Electric Vehicle Charger Grant Program that awarded grants to eleven recipients in 2014. One of those projects is at the parking garage at the McHenry Row shopping complex in Baltimore.

The MEA program will fund of up to $400,000 per project. To be eligible for the grant, plans must include at least 125 kW of solar PV panels mounted to a canopy structure over a parking lot and each location must have at least one Level 2 electric vehicle charging station powered by the solar PV system.

This parking garage is adjacent to a Harris Teeter store and already had two GE charging stations on the ground floor near the entrance to the grocery store as well as some SemaConnect stations on the second level.

The solar panels have been installed on the top floor of the garage and a single ChargePoint EV charging station is installed on the ground floor at the NE corner.

A ChargePoint card is needed to release the holster but there is no fee to use the ChargePoint station.
