We have the second in a series of reports and interviews about solar energy and the people who use it and build it here in northern MN.
In this series we’ll meet people who have installed solar energy in their homes. We’ll hear how Minnesota’s public and private utilities, are investing in large solar projects and accommodating smaller ones. We’ll learn about the growing interest in community solar gardens and how they work; and we’ll provide consumer information that can help you understand the most affordable ways to incorporate solar energy into your home or community.
In this installment, Scott Hall tells us about the dramatic growth of the solar industry in MN, and reports on the solar power offerings of the second largest private utility in the state, Minnesota Power.
