One Program, Big Impact

2021 marks the fifth year for the program. Since 2017, the environmental impact has been huge. Each year, the PV systems installed through this program will singlehandedly avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 2,157,701 lbs. of CO2. So, thank you to you for making this program successful year after year and for helping to keep our part of the state beautiful, clean, and healthy.

Since 2017:

553 people attended Solar Power Hours

174 properties added solar

1,089 kilowatts of solar have been installed

Every year, that’s like avoiding:

2,428,577 miles driven by the average passenger vehicle

1,078,411 lbs. of coal burned

OR like 41,644 trash bags recycled rather than landfilled

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.”
