Though you really have to dig to find the information, Chaska Minnesota residents have a solar energy incentive program available to them!

This program is available to City of Chaska Electric Department residential customers and is distributed on a first come, first served basis until funds run out. This rebate can also be combined with the 26% federal solar tax credit. 

Dear Customers,

Spring is here!  The seasons may have changed but our response to Covid-19 has not.  Yes, the pandemic is still with us, and we are still taking all the precautions necessary to provide a safe, healthy work environment for our employees and customers.

According to most solar installers, a solar panel’s current estimated lifespan is 35–40 years, which falls in line with the lifespan of most premium residential roofing materials.

A forecast for growth

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has released their energy forecast for 2021, and things are looking up for renewable energy, solar in particular, for the coming years. With an increased commitment to renewable energy, incentives on both the state and federal level, along with falling technology costs, renewable energy sources are poised to provide robust competition for natural gas as the key provider of electricity in the U.S.

On-demand electricity is one of the most common reasons that homeowners cite when asked why they are considering going solar.

Renewable energy was put front-and-center during the 2020 election as both energy and infrastructure became hot topics both on a national and state level. So what does the future hold for solar energy incentives?

The 2020 election resulted in a change in administration and likely a completely different approach to environmental issues, energy policy, and job creation than that of the previous administration. In this ebook, we take a quick look at what has happened, the changes we see happening in the coming months and years, and the impact of those changes on solar.
