Going solar in Eagan
Eagan is a suburb south of Saint Paul on the south bank of the Minnesota River. Wolf River Electric crews serve Eagan from our Isanti headquarters, about 55 miles away.
Most of Eagan gets its power from Dakota Electric Association, and some parts of the area are served by Xcel Energy. That decides your credit rules, so we confirm your utility for your exact address. Dakota Electric Association is a member-owned co-op. Members can net meter systems under 40 kW AC at the co-op's average retail rate, and the co-op may add a monthly grid access charge for solar. Xcel Energy customers can net meter systems under 40 kW AC and can enroll in Solar*Rewards, which pays $0.05 per kWh for 10 years on 2026 enrollments.
Going solar in Eagan takes building and electrical permits from the City of Eagan 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 Eagan system around your roof, your shading and a year of your electric bills, then show you the numbers before you decide.
