Grow Solar Twin Cities is an educational and group purchasing program for residential and commercial solar. Property owners throughout the Twin Cities and the surrounding metro area may participate in the program to help pool their buying power and secure significant discounts that make installing high-quality solar more affordable. The program is offered with support from the Midwest Renewable Energy Association, paleBLUEdot, Resilient Cities & Communities, Center for Energy & Environment, and a variety of local municipalities.

Grow Solar offers free education about solar energy to help people figure out if solar is right for them. Do you own a property? Is it relatively free from shade? Do you want to lower your electricity bills? Solar might be right for you!

Start by attending a Solar Power Hour. Our free information session teaches you the basics of solar, its financial implications for your property, and how the Grow Solar Twin Cities program works. Look for a Power Hour schedule this spring!

Then, get a free, no obligation site assessment from our competitively-selected installer (selected this spring). After attending a Solar Power Hour, schedule a site assessment and cost estimate.

Grow Solar Twin Cities will be offered through September 30, 2022. Don’t delay, sign up today!

2022 marks 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.
