Urban Grid is a renewable energy company whose goal is to advance renewable energy technology and sustainable building design in the Mid-Atlantic region. Whether residential or commercial, Urban Grid designs and installs site-specific solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, wind powered turbines, and electric vehicle charging stations that are engineered to last. Urban Grid always puts customers first and takes great pride in every installation.
We elected to become a B Corporation because we are committed to making our business a green practice; not only do we install renewable energy systems, but we also recycle and reuse debris from all of our construction sites, specify rapidly renewable and low/zero VOC green building products, and volunteer our time and money to aid local non-profit organizations. Becoming a B Corporation isn’t just about a label, it’s about conducting a sustainable business and setting an example for others so we can create a greener and more fulfilling life for future generations.

The Change We Seek®
At the core of Urban Grid is the strong commitment to creating a sustainable future for generations to come. By implementing solar technologies and green construction into all of their projects, Urban Grid strives to set examples for other builders and energy providers. The time to implement a better way of building is now. People are becoming more and more aware of the significant damage humans have caused to the environment resulting in global warming, energy dependence, and irreversible destruction to wildlife and natural resources. Urban Grid has always aimed to be a company to lower these impacts and provide a smarter form of energy to consumers. Not only does Urban Grid support energy independence, but they also educate the general public on the environmental effects of human's current lifestyle and how renewable energy and green building can help them combat these effects. Urban Grid views renewable energy on a global level and will always have the inherent goal to lower carbon emissions for the sake of the planet and the people that inhabit it.
