Minnesota Solar Potential

Minnesota Solar Potential

solar

Over the last decade, the United States has seen exponential growth in solar energy, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Solar prices have seen a dramatic decline and interest in renewables as a way to curb emissions is increasing among many governments and private entities. Minnesota is one of the many states who have set targets and increased funding for solar projects. The state has set a target of 10% solar by 2030 and is the recipient of a competitive grant from the U.S. Department of Energy titled MN Solar Pathways to assist in reaching that goal.
