Have you been noticing the solar panels springing up on neighborhood roofs lately? As with all Minnesota construction projects, when the weather warms up, it’s time to break ground; and for an increasing number of Minnesota homes and businesses, that includes using the sun as a money-saving energy source. (And just as important, owning the means of generating that electricity!)

In Minnesota, much of the growth of solar has been due to the availability of strong solar incentive programs such as  Xcel Energy’s Solar*Rewards program and tax credits that are available from the federal government. However, with changes to these programs here or on the horizon, now is the right time to get started so that you don’t miss out. At the close of the state legislative session last month a bill was approved that modified the eligibility requirements Solar*Rewards program and increased the amount that larger commercial property owners can claim, making it more likely that this funding for Xcel customers will be claimed up quickly. Additionally, the federal tax credits start to sunset if your project is not installed by the end of next year.

At All Energy Solar we are proud to be making the switch to renewable, dependable solar energy an easy one for local commercial and residential property owners -- since 2009 we’ve helped well over 1,000 Minnesotans to make the switch! Becoming part of the solar wave is simpler than ever before. The first step is request a free consultation to determine if your property is a good candidate for solar.
