Minnesota Solar Incentives
Take advantage of the 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)! Learn more below about the different incentives available in Minnesota.
Offered by Xcel, the Solar Rewards program is an energy production-based incentive for systems 20 kW or less. The incentive is offered to Xcel Energy customers to help offset the cost of installing PV. The 2024 incentive amount is 3 cents per kWh produced by the PV system. System size must be between 0.5 to 20kW. The PV system cannot exceed 120 percent of the customer’s annual energy consumption based on the past 12 months of energy use. The incentive is paid annually for 10 years, with payment being made by check in January and February of each year depending on your billing cycle. Incentive awards are based on a first come first served basis.
The Xcel Solar*Rewards incentive awards can be combined with the federal tax credit and net metering to reduce the overall cost of your solar project. Let Powerfully Green create a customized financial model to assess the potential benefits of your solar project.

Financing is a simple option that provides commercial building owners with access to low-cost, long-term financing for energy efficiency, renewable energy and water conservancy projects. PACE offers financing for up to a 20-year term and payments are made annually through a special property tax assessment.
Commercial real estate owners benefit because the investment increases the value of their property, the amount they save for utilities should be more than the annual payments, tenants appreciate the energy savings component, and financing is transferable in the case of a sale.
