More about solar power in MinnesotaDespite its infamously cold winters, Minnesota is a pretty decent place to install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels or a solar thermal (solar hot water) system. There's enough sunshine for solar technologies to work and, equally important, the state has taken steps to promote the adoption of solar power through rebates and other incentives. Sponsored by the Minnesota Office of Energy Security (OES), the solar electric rebate program has since 2002 helped hundreds of individuals and businesses install solar panels. As of mid-2009, the program was full. For details and updates, check in with the Minnesota OES website. Also sponsored by the OES, and also fully booked as of mid-2009, the solar hot water rebate program provides up to $2,500 to residents who install a solar thermal (solar hot water) system, and up to $10,000 for multi-family apartments with four units or more. In addition to these MN state programs, Minnesota residents and businesses can avail themselves of the 30-percent federal renewable energy tax credit. For commercial solar power systems installed in 2009 and 2010, companies can opt instead to receive a solar energy grant equal to the 30-percent tax credit. Together, state and federal solar incentives can go a long way in reducing the upfront costs associated with installing a solar energy system.
