Solar is for ALL of us.
Minnesota’s clean energy transition needs a combination of utility-scale and local renewables. Don’t let the big utilities undermine local solar options.
Least-cost path to a clean energy future
Electricity produced from rooftop and community solar has a similar total cost to utility-scale solar and provides even better overall value through local job-creation and reliability benefits.
Sharing the gains from the clean energy revolution
It shouldn’t just be giant utilities and the wealthy who get to benefit as owners and producers in the clean energy tech transformation — that freedom, choice, and access to energy self-generation and its direct economic benefit should be available to all.
“Local solar is crucial to unlocking the maximum benefits of our clean energy transition — resilience, equity, jobs, and energy savings. We can’t let big utilities control the market by blocking rooftop and community solar.”
—John Farrell, Co-Director at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance.
