Helping Solar Dreams Come True

The Solstice Project

Bringing more solar energy to income-qualified families and individuals within Minnesota communities who might otherwise not have the opportunity to choose renewable energy sources for their homes. 

What is The Solstice Project?

The Solstice Project Mission is to improve energy equity in the communities we serve.  This initiative provides income qualified homeowners the opportunity to partake in making our world a better place through clean energy produced by solar on their home. There are many programs to help make a solar investment affordable to income-qualified homeowners, but there are still two significant barriers to entry for this population. 

  • Installing solar takes upfront cash
  • Receiving the 30% federal tax credit require a tax liability
The Solstice Project is in a unique position to be able to tie all of the pieces together and make solar a reality for income-qualified individuals.
