Member Owned Solar

Owning and installing a solar renewable energy system interconnected with SCEC's distribution lines can be a personally satisfying and rewarding project for the member-owner.

SCEC wants to help ensure the process is as smooth as possible from start to finish.

While SCEC does not install solar arrays, we do work with members to make sure they have all the information they need to make an informed decision.

We also work with members and contractors to ensure any distributed generation facility is safely interconnected.

Thinking of Installing Solar Panels? Start here!

We have noticed an increased interest in member-owned solar installations over the last year.

Due to recent issues with an out-of-state contractor and the Minnesota Attorney General's actions against some out-of-state solar contractors, SCEC is requiring member-initiated applications.

We encourage all members to use a trustworthy local contractor. Local contractors are familiar with Wisconsin and SCEC's requirements.
