Solar for Schools Grant Program is accepting applications

Minnesota public school districts are eligible to apply for the Solar for Schools Grant Program.

Established by the Minnesota Legislature in 2021, the Solar for Schools Grant Program is designed to stimulate the installation of solar energy systems on Minnesota K-12 public schools (and colleges and universities) while using the opportunity to integrate renewable energy use into school curriculum.

Detailed information about the program, application process, and grant metrics can be found in the Program’s Request for Proposal (RFP), which is available on the Solar for Schools Grant Program webpage at https://mn.gov/commerce/industries/energy/solar/solar-for-schools.
