Wisconsin’s Community Solar Program - Institute for Local Self-Reliance

In Wisconsin, only Northern States Power Company, owned by Xcel Energy, offers virtual net metering. Xcel has installed three one-megawatt community solar gardens in the state through their Solar*Connect Community program. Customers are charged a one-time fee and receive a credit on their monthly electric bill.

Watch the top state community solar programs progress in our National Community Solar Programs Tracker.
