Imagine if all the energy utilities in the world got rid of their fossil fuel powered cars, and replaced them with electric hybrid cars. They would save huge amounts on fuel costs and prevent countless pounds of carbon dioxide from infiltrating the polluted environment. It just so happens that Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and other utilities have begun a revolution in commercial transportation. PG&E’s electric hybrid drive train Class 5 work trucks save fuel and have batteries that can be used to power the grid when electricity outages occur.

If you're an All Energy Solar customer, you're already on the path to saving money with solar. Now, how would you like to save more money? We are pleased to announce that we offer 3 ways for you to supercharge the payback on your solar array thanks to our Referral Program.

For Minnesotans considering solar energy, the new Solar*Rewards program at Xcel Energy offers an excellent incentive to go solar in 2014.  Solar customers who sign up this year will receive a check every year for $0.08/KWH of energy they produce for 10 years! This year the rebate is the highest possible, meaning that early adopters will lock in the best benefit -- the state has already scheduled for it to drop by $0.02/KWH in 2015 and 2016.

Summer is a great time to invest in solar and to have one of our solar consultants come to you to measure your property's solar potential.

Thank you to the Minnesota Legislature and Gov. Dayton for passing the bill that will add 450 MW of clean energy to Minnesota's grid by 2020! This 1.5% Solar Standard is a huge leap forward for the solar industry and the environment in Minnesota! The goal is to generate 10% of the state's energy from solar by 2030, and this is a great step in that direction.

With the recent attention Frac Sand Mining has received in Red Wing, citizens have taken an increased interest in their town’s valuable energy resources.

Specifically, citizens are keenly aware of the multitude of options available to them today that have all the benefits of mining without the environmental price tag, specifically solar.
