Interested in investing in solar for your home, farm, or business?

2020 is the perfect time to go solar! A combination of low solar costs combined with federal and state tax credits (which are decreasing each year) and rising electricity rates makes now a great time to install solar.

Our very own Joel Zook, energy planner at Winneshiek Energy District, holistically details the need-to-know concepts for anyone considering the benefits of installing a solar array.

Listed below are several solar contractors from around NE Iowa whom you can contact with questions or to get a project quote.
