Want to know how to use renewable energy, save on your electric bill, reduce pollution and promote local green jobs?
Community solar garden shares are an opportunity for Minneapolis neighbors to participate in the solar energy revolution, regardless of income, credit score or whether you rent or own, and get a credit on their electric bill.
And there are options to participate with no upfront money.
