Going solar in Coralville
Coralville is a suburb adjoining Iowa City along Interstate 80. Wolf River Electric crews serve Coralville from our Marion office, about 30 miles away.
Most of Coralville gets its power from MidAmerican Energy, and some parts of the area are served by Corridor Energy Cooperative (formerly Linn County REC). That decides your credit rules, so we confirm your utility for your exact address. Under current Iowa billing rules, MidAmerican Energy credits the solar power you send back to the grid at the retail rate. Corridor Energy Cooperative (formerly Linn County REC) is a member-owned co-op that sets its own rules for crediting solar power, so we confirm its current terms before we design.
Going solar in Coralville takes building and electrical permits from the City of Coralville and approval from your utility. We file the applications, schedule the inspections and handle the utility paperwork, so you are not chasing approvals.
We design every Coralville system around your roof, your shading and a year of your electric bills, then show you the numbers before you decide.
