The MREA’s Twin Cities office opened in fall 2015 and works with Minnesota contractors, organizations, and other local partners to expand PV development in the state, educate consumers, and offer professional training opportunities. Since the office opened, we have reached over 1,000 Minnesota residents through public education sessions and deployed over 100 kW of solar. This work is funded by the US Department of Energy’s Rooftop Solar Challenge Grant.
