The solar incenvice in Minnesota 2025

Updated Apr 04, 2025

You'll pay an average of $12,567 to install a 5 kilowatt solar panel system in Minnesota, before incentives.
The federal investment tax credit (ITC) lowers that price by 30% of all your solar equipment and installation costs.

What solar incentives are available in Minnesota?

As a homeowner in Minnesota, you have access to several different tax incentives that make solar panels more affordable. Solar incentives are available at both the federal and state levels to help you save thousands on your investment in solar energy.

Solar Calculator is here to help you take the next step in your transition to renewable energy. Below, we’ll discuss some of the different ways you can make solar more affordable.

Federal Investment Tax Credit

The Federal ITC allows you to claim 30% of your total equipment and installation costs on your federal taxes. There is no minimum or maximum amount you can claim and it includes equipment, installation, permitting, and even battery storage.

The ITC will remain at 30% until December 31, 2032. After that it will be reduced to 26% until December 31, 2033, then to 22% the following year. The ITC is currently set to disappear in 2035 unless it is renewed.

Who is eligible for the Federal ITC?

Most homeowners will qualify for the Federal ITC, but not all. You must meet the following criteria to claim your 30% tax credit:

Your solar system must have been installed between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2034.

You must own the property on which the system was installed. That means no leased properties such as apartments or townhomes.

The property must be located within the U.S

You must own the entire solar system. Equipment acquired through a lease or Power Purchase Agree (PPA) is not eligible.

The equipment must be purchased new. Used equipment is not eligible.

The Federal ITC will also cover the following expenses:

Solar panels and cells

Wiring, inverters, and mounting equipment

Cost of labor

Energy storage devices

Sales tax

Homeowners save around $10,000 on average with the Federal ITC. But that number can be higher or lower depending on your total expenses.

Local solar incentives

Who’s eligible : State Government

How to apply : Minnesota has several energy efficiency policies for state buildings, dating back to 2001. In April 2011, Governor Dayton signed a series of Executive Orders which created a comprehensive energy savings plan for state facilities. In addition to creating several new initiatives, the Orders also incorporated existing energy efficiency and renewable energy statutes and programs. inn April 2019, Governor Walz signed Executive Order 19-27 which updated existing guidelines for energy reduction and procurement. Energy Reduction Requirements Executive Order 11-12 set a goal of reducing energy use in state facilities by 20%. The Order does not set a deadline for reaching this goal, but sets deadlines for establishing benchmarks, goals, and implementation plans. Each agency must maintain its consumption data in the B3 Energy Benchmarking web site. By September 1, 2011, each agency was required consult with the Commissioners of Administration and Commerce to develop energy reduction goals through both energy efficiency improvements and on-site renewable energy installations. Executive Order 11-13 requires each agency to report on these goals to the Real Property Executive Committee and Commissioner of Administration in an annual Sustainability Plan. Each state agency must use the Guaranteed Energy Savings Contracts. Executive Order 11-13 requires that all multifunctional devices on the state standards program be Energy Star labeled by June 30, 2013. Executive Order 19-27 updated these guidelines, requiring state-owned buildings to achieve a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 relative to a 2005 calculated baseline and a 30% reduction in consumption of energy per square foot by 2027 relative to a 2017 adjusted baseline. Additionally, EO 19-27 requires that 25% of total spending on priority contracts are sustainable purchases by 2025. Sustainable Building Guidelines for New State Construction and Renovations Construction of new state buildings in Minnesota is governed by a series of state laws enacted and amended at different times. In 2001, Minnesota required the Departments of Administration and Commerce to develop Sustainable Building Design Guidelines (Minn. Stat. 16B.325) for new state buildings. These guidelines are mandatory for new buildings funded fully or in part by state bond money after January 1, 2004, and major renovations funded from bond proceeds after January 1, 2009. Major renovations are defined as a substantial addition to an existing building or a significant change to the energy system or interior configuration of an existing building. The provision applying the law to major renovations was added in April 2008. The guidelines require that projects exceed the January 2004 state energy code by 30 percent. In 2008, a separate section of the state code (Minn. Stat. 16B.32) law was amended to state that managers must supply 2% of a building's total energy use with on-site wind and solar power or supply a full cost and carbon analysis explaining why renewables would not be cost effective.* Noncompliance results in loss of any further state money for the project. The guidelines developed as a result of this law now contain the on-site generation requirement, as well as a rule requiring building operators to select new equipment and appliances that meet ENERGY STAR criteria. This stipulation is meant to operate in addition to the 30% energy use reduction attributable to the building itself. Other portions of the guidelines address additional aspects of sustainability, such as water management, indoor air quality, and waste reduction. Building construction or renovations funded by state bonds may use up to 5% of the allotted funds for solar PV or solar thermal systems of less than 40 kilowatt (kW) capacity. Systems must be Made in Minnesota. Executive Order 11-12 (2011) requires agencies to perform an assessment of the cost-effectiveness of installing renewable energy generation equipment along with any major renovations in state-owned facilities. Sustainable Building 2030 (SB 2030) In May 2008 Minnesota enacted S.F. 2706, directing the Commerce Commissioner to contract with the Center for Sustainable Building Research at the University of Minnesota and granting $500,000 annually to coordinate and implement the development of new Sustainable Building 2030 performance standards. At least $350,000 of this must be spent for subcontracts to undertake technical projects. These standards were designed to achieve energy consumption reductions of 60 percent in 2010, 70 percent in 2015, 80 percent in 2020, and 90 percent in 2025 (2003 baseline). Beginning on July 1, 2010, all Minnesota State bonded projects — new and substantially renovated — that had not already started the Schematic Design Phase on August 1, 2009 were required to meet the Minnesota SB 2030 energy standards. The SB 2030 requirements will be incorporated into the existing Sustainable Building Design Guidelines developed prior to SB 2030. Executive Order 11-13 (2011) incorporated SB 2030 into the new comprehensive energy savings plan. * Minn. Stat. 16B.32 also requires that certain state building designs specifically evaluate the possibility of using active and passive solar systems and earth-sheltered construction in addition to the 2% on-site wind and solar provision. A separate section (Minn. Stat. 16B.326) requires the evaluation of geothermal and solar thermal applications for heating and cooling during pre-design review.

How to apply : The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) adopted updated interconnection standards in June 2019. The standards are modeled after the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Small Generator Interconnection Process and apply to systems up to 10 MW in capacity. The MPUC standards, like the FERC standards, use a three-tiered approach to simplify the interconnection process: Inverter Process: Systems up to 20 kilowatts (kW) Fast Track Process: Systems larger than 20 kW that meet the eligibility criteria in the table below Study Process: Systems that fail to qualify for the Fast Track Process Line Voltage Fast Track Eligible Regardless of Location Fast Track Eligibility on a Mainline and less than 2.5 Electrical Circuit Miles from Substation Less than 5 kV Less than or equal to 500 kW Less than or equal to 500 kW Greater than or equal to 5 kV and less than 15 kV Less than or equal to 1 MW Less than or equal to 2 MW Greater than or equal to 15 kV and less than 30 kV Less than or equal to 3 MW Less than or equal to 4 MW Greater than or equal to 30 kV, up to 69 kV Less than or equal to 4 MW Less than or equal to 5 MW Minnesota regulators issued new requirements regarding smart inverters in 2020 which became effective in 2023 and 2024; see website link for more details.

How to apply : All real and personal property of wind energy systems are exempt from the state's property tax, except for the land on which the wind energy system is located. Under H.B. 3167, beginning with taxes payable in 2015, personal property consisting of solar energy generating systems is exempt from property taxation, but the real property (i.e., the land on which the solar energy generating system is located) is still subject to property tax. Wind and solar energy production taxes have replaced more typical forms of property tax. Wind In lieu of a property tax on large wind-energy electricity generating systems, a production tax was implemented in 2002 for systems installed after January 1, 1991. The production tax for electricity generated by wind is: $0.0012 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for systems greater than 12 megawatts (MW) nameplate capacity, $0.00036 per kWh for systems between 2 MW and 12 MW nameplate capacity, and $0.00012 per kWh for systems between 0.25 MW and 2 MW nameplate capacity. Wind systems less than 250 kW are exempt from the production tax, as are systems with a capacity of 2 MW or less that are owned by political subdivisions and systems located in a designated job opportunity building zone. The wind energy production tax is considered to be a personal property tax. For 2006 - 2009 (Minn. Stat. § 272.029 Subd. 6), the revenue generated by the production tax was required to be distributed to local taxing districts as follows: 80% to counties; 14% to cities and townships; and 6% to school districts. For 2010 and thereafter, the distribution of revenues is set at 80% to counties and 20% to cities and townships. For further details, please see the Minnesota Department of Revenue's Property Tax Administrators' Manual. Notably, a provision in a separate statute (Minn. Stat. § 272.028) allows a mutually agreeable alternative to be negotiated between the local government authority and the wind facility owner for the purpose of maintaining "public infrastructure and services." For example, a lower tax might be negotiated by a local government in order to attract wind development. Solar In lieu of a property tax on large solar energy generating systems, a production tax is set beginning with taxes payable in 2015. The production tax for electricity generated by solar is $1.20 per megawatt-hour (MWh) for systems exceeding 1 MW (AC); systems 1 MW (AC) or less are exempt from the production tax. The solar energy production tax is considered to be a personal property tax. Aggregated generation systems with over 1 MW of capacity on the same or adjacent parcels is classified as tax Class 3a, "Preferred Commercial," paying 1.5% on the first $150,000 of value and 2% on all additional valuation. The owner of applicable solar energy generating systems must file a report with the commissioner of revenue on or before January 15 annually; on or before February 28, the commissioner of revenue must notify the owner of the tax due to each county for the current year. The distribution of revenues is set at 80% to counties and 20% to cities and townships.

Cash payments

Paying cash upfront is easily the simplest and most cost-effective route — if you can afford it. It lets you maximize your total savings by avoiding interest rates and other fees. You also don’t have to worry about making monthly payments. But the downside is you have to spend a lot of cash at once which isn’t an option for everyone.

Pros

No interest payments makes this less expensive in the long term

It provides a higher return on your investment

You hit your break even point faster

You are eligible for tax incentives

Cons

It requires a large initial investment

There is an opportunity cost if you decide to wait and save

You may become cash poor

Financing

Financing solar panels is probably the most common payment method. You get to own the system — as opposed to leasing — but you don’t have to spend all your cash at once. And although you do have to pay interest, you can secure a fairly low interest rate as long you have good credit.

Pros

It doesn’t require a large lump sum

You can space your payments out over time

You are eligible for tax incentives

Cons

It costs more over time

Interest rates may be high

You need good credit

The payback period is longer

It takes longer to break even

Solar leases and PPA agreements

If purchasing solar equipment isn’t an option for you, a lease or a PPA may be worth exploring. This is where you are essentially “renting” the equipment for a fixed rate each month. And although you don’t have ownership of your system, there are other benefits such as maintenance and servicing agreements.

Pros

There is no upfront cost

You are not responsible for maintenance

Contract terms are flexible

Cons

You do not own your solar system

You will not be eligible for tax credits or exemptions

It is a long term commitment

You save less than if you own the system

Rates may increase
