2022 marked the fourth year for the Grow Solar Twin Cities program. Since 2018, the environmental impact has been huge. Each year, the PV systems installed through this program will singlehandedly avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 2,323,843 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 2018 –
519 people attended Solar Power Hours
167 properties added solar
1239 kilowatts of solar have been installed
Every year that’s like avoiding –
2,616,437 miles driven by the average passenger vehicle
1,166,241 lbs. of coal burned
OR like 45,626 trash bags recycled rather than landfilled
