Let Wolf River Electric guide you every step of the way!

The Power to Take Control of Your Energy Future

There’s never been a better time to take control of your energy future. When you go solar, you gain more than just clean power—you gain peace of mind and protection from rising utility costs.

Through net metering, any excess energy your system produces is sent back to the grid, earning you bill credits that help offset your monthly costs. Over time, those savings add up, allowing you to lock in lower energy expenses and reduce dependence on unpredictable utility rate hikes.

Solar also provides long-term reliability and energy security. Whether you’re motivated by sustainability, savings, or self-sufficiency, going solar with Wolf River Electric means investing in your home, your business, your future, and the planet.

Join the pack—and be over the moon with your savings.

State Incentives*

This state program provides rebates to residents who install solar systems. The rebates are performance-based, rewarding systems that produce more energy efficiently. Some utilities in Minnesota offer additional rebates for solar installations. These rebates can further reduce the cost of going solar. Check with your local utility provider for specific programs and eligibility requirements.

Minnesota’s net metering policy allows solar system owners to sell excess energy back to the grid at a 1:1 rate. This means you get full credit for every kilowatt-hour your system produces, reducing your future electricity bills.

Offered by Xcel Energy, this program provides additional performance-based incentives for residential and commercial solar installations. Participants receive payments based on the amount of energy their systems produce.

Solar energy systems in Minnesota are exempt from property tax assessments. This means installing a solar system will not increase your property taxes, even though it may increase your property value.

Equipment and materials for solar installations are exempt from state sales tax, reducing the overall cost of installing a solar system.

Financing Options

Financing options for solar energy in Minnesota are diverse, allowing homeowners and businesses to choose the best fit for their financial situation. From financing to solar loans, green energy loans, home equity loans, and manufacturer financing, there are many ways to make solar energy affordable and accessible. Explore these options and consult a solar installer to determine the best financing strategy for your needs.
