There is enough info in the article that you can identify the company if you want to contact them rather than rely on powerline. The falling price of solar panels and batteries make this competitive and they are not the only ones in Minnesota.

This is not new stuff. There is extensive solar in Europe that is at a higher latitude than Minnesota.

If events in Minnesota bother you, you are in for a rough ride because your home state of Colorado is way out ahead of Minnesota in the transition away from fossil fuel.

“because your home state of Colorado is way out ahead of Minnesota in the transition away from fossil fuel. “

well they SAY they are but it’s not gonna happen ...

Not sure why I’m included in the “TO:” line...
(Those panels in the pic should be more vertical I would think...)

Anyway, the limit from the inherent intemittancy of solar is an aspect that fans of “100% renewable!!” don’t get.
I think that link explains it well.

Solar has certainly done better than many, incuding myself, expected. Would like to see the subsidies dropped now.

Yes, and I can tell by how much my electric bills have gone up over the last five years.
