Your Minnesota Commercial Solar Partner
Minnesota Solar Benefits & Incentives
In Minnesota, solar is being deployed both for commercial properties and tenants, as well as being used to power community solar programs that allow local residents to reap the rewards of large-scale solar programs. The region is a great opportunity for solar in many ways:
- Minnesota aims to source 100% of its energy with carbon-free methods by 2040
- Net metering programs reimburse a producer of solar energy for unused credits
- Property tax exemption for commercial solar installation
Minnesota commercial property owners can enjoy greater profits, higher property value, create greater tenant satisfaction, and achieve sustainability goals by incorporating rooftop solar into their energy portfolio.
Minnesota ESG & Sustainability Requirements
Minnesota requires many commercial solar installations to participate in their Energy Benchmarking Program.
King Energy integrates directly to ESG reporting systems like Energy Star® Portfolio Manager®, which provides streamlined energy tracking, benchmarking against similar properties, and improved energy conservation measures.
