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.

There’s not much that beats a good glass of wine - except for a good glass of wine for a good cause. This is exactly what we at All Energy Solar are partnering with Have A Heart to bring you. We are the primary sponsor for Have A Heart inc.'s wine tasting on Saturday April 27th.

The New England Patriots are far from economically insolvent as a team, yet the Massachusetts’ solar industry still made more money installing solar panels than the team in 2012.  In fact, Massachusetts was named the sixth top solar state for 2012 by the Solar Energy Industry Association with 128.9 megawatts installed - enough energy to power 32,000 homes.

As a result of increased MA solar demand, new systems brought online after October 28th of this year will only be able to sell their Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SREC) for 8 years instead of 10.  This means that if you sign up to get solar installed after October 18th of this year you’re losing out this years rebate. The upfront rebates are not going to be renewed for next year.
