Solar United Neighbors (SUN) is back with their solar co-op in West Central MN!
SUN is a non-profit organization helping residents across the United States, including here in Minnesota, go solar and save on their energy bills. In Minnesota alone, they have already helped over 500 families choose solar, amounting to $20 million in energy savings.
Through their co-op structure, community members can sign up, collectively choose an installer through a Request for Proposal, and get an individualized quote for their home solar installation. A SUN program associate is there each step of the way to guide participants through the process.
Their Lakes & Prairies 2026 Solar Co-op is open to residents of Becker, Clay, Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail, Pope, Stevens, Traverse, and Wilkins County. You can sign up through May 31, 2026.
Looking to learn more information? Join them in Morris on Tuesday, March 24th from 6:30-8:00 pm at the West Central Research and Outreach Center for an in-person Solar 101.
