Solar Power

Two state agencies will share information about Minnesota Power's proposed solar project in Cohasset, Leech Lake Reservation and Deer Lake Township.

After sitting dormant during winter for the past decade, strained by high energy costs, the Lodge of Whispering Pines is up and running on the strength of a solar project.

A pair of developers are working to build a microgrid at an elementary school and community center on the White Earth Reservation in Northern Minnesota.

Installing a solar array didn’t just impact Stuart Lavalier's farm’s bottom line: it provided a way for his operation to be more self-reliant.

Plus, a higher proportion of rural residents live in substandard housing compared to urban and a new Minnesota law seeks to spur more use of cleaner building materials.

The new facility includes a 2 megawatt solar array paired with a 1 megawatt, 2.5-hour lithium ion battery surrounded by pollinator-friendly vegetation.

Bobby King discusses how solar co-ops can help local homeowners find savings and support by using community purchasing power for solar.
