960 people attended Solar Power Hours

238 properties added solar

1,619 kilowatts of solar have been installed

Every year, that’s like avoiding:

1,523,336 lbs. of coal burned

Grow Solar Central Wisconsin Participant Testimonial

“It’s been almost a year since our solar system was installed by Northwind Renewable Energy. One of the things that stands out most about our project is the professionalism of the entire team from Northwind. Our questions were answered promptly and always with a tone of respect and appreciation. The installation crew was polite, on-time and gave us regular updates about their progress. The project was completed on time and at the price we contracted. True professionals. The Solar Central Wisconsin Group Buy program and Northwind Renewable Energy have our highest recommendation.”
