For years we’ve helped Minnesota families, farmers, schools and cities go solar through the programs that make it possible.
Free solar for families in need
Since 2020 we’ve helped income-qualified Minnesotans get solar at little-to-no cost through Xcel’s Solar*Rewards Income-Qualified program — wiping out electric bills for families who need it most.
Farm solar funded by USDA REAP
Since 2019 we’ve helped numerous Minnesota farmers slash energy costs with solar — including projects funded in part by USDA REAP grants.
Solar for Schools
We put solar on public school buildings, helping districts cut energy costs and show the next generation clean energy in action.
Solar for Cities & Public Buildings
We help cities put solar on public buildings — like the 100 kW AC array at Edina City Hall — through solar-on-public-buildings grant programs.

Commercial & ag incentives — the clock is ticking.
The 30% federal credit plus depreciation can pay back a commercial system in just a few years — but under current law the credit is time-limited. Let's capture it while it's here.
- 30% federal ITC — begin construction by July 4, 2026 (or in service by Dec 31, 2027)
- Accelerated depreciation (MACRS) + bonus depreciation
- USDA REAP: grant window under federal review — loans available; ask us
- Xcel Solar*Rewards production incentives
Frequently asked.
Does solar really work in Minnesota winters?
Yes. Panels run on light, not heat, and cold clear days are very productive. Snow slides off the smooth panels, and your system is sized for the full Minnesota year.
What's covered by the warranty?
30 years of Solar Insure coverage on your panels and microinverters, plus a separate 20-year battery warranty — so you're covered even if iSolar isn't around in year 30.
How much can I save?
Most homeowners offset the bulk of their Xcel bill. The exact number depends on your roof and usage — we'll give you real figures in a free assessment.
Do you do financing?
Yes — financing options plus help with every incentive you qualify for. We don't do leases or PPAs; you own your system.
Does solar add value to my home?
Owned solar is generally seen as a home improvement that can add value and appeal — a buyer inherits lower energy bills on a system that's already in place. Because we don't do leases, there's no lease for a buyer to assume.
Will my panels survive Minnesota hail and snow?
Yes. Our panels are built and tested for harsh weather, snow slides off the smooth glass, and every array is engineered for Minnesota wind and snow loads — backed by your 30-year Solar Insure warranty.
