Solar Electric (PV) Systems

Save up to $2,000 when you install a solar electric system

Solar electric systems, also known as photovoltaic (PV) systems, use sunlight to generate electricity. To capture sunlight, solar panels, also known as modules, are strategically placed on roofs or are ground mounted to maximize exposure to the sun. Systems operate silently, are very reliable, and require little ongoing maintenance. And yes, Wisconsin really does get enough sun, even in winter, to produce energy and reduce electricity bills for your home or business.
