I live in a pretty remote rural area-our co-op gets over 50% of it’s power from wind and solar-they also own an interest in those wind and solar farms, so the cost is the same or less than before-they also encourage individuals to install solar panels for their own use with a sizeable rebate. Since we are far out here, they also provide the least expensive broadband and land line service-I have the whole thing and my bills are lower than my non-co-op acquaintances in the city, 50 miles away...

Installations are different, they encourage those. They purchase power, so costs may be different. Also, I suspect solar farms in WI produce more expensive power than Texas. Ironically wood (corn stalk, grass) pellets aren’t used much here. About as renewable as you get, and no batteries needed, nor wind. But unpopular as it’s burned
