In 2012, with funding from the US Department of Energy SunShot Initiative, Grow Solar developed a team of Wisconsin organizations and communities , including:

  • Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA)
  • City of Madison, MadiSUN
  • City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Shines
  • City of Marshfield
  • Sustainable Resource Group
  • Madison Solar Consulting
  • RENEW Wisconsin

The team worked in three Wisconsin cities to improve permitting processes and develop sustainable models for solar project finance. You can see the initial work and accomplishments of this 1-year effort in the following reports and issue briefs:
