Solar Companies in Wisconsin

Wisconsin's solar market has grown steadily despite the state's northern climate, with about 3.6 peak sun hours daily on average. The Badger State benefits from above-average electricity rates and supportive utility programs that improve the financial case for residential solar.

Wisconsin mandates full retail net metering for investor-owned utilities including We Energies, Alliant Energy, and Madison Gas & Electric. The Focus on Energy program, funded by utility ratepayers, provides cash rebates for residential solar installations. Wisconsin exempts solar equipment from property tax assessments.

Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay are the leading residential solar markets. With Focus on Energy rebates, full net metering, the federal tax credit, and above-average electricity rates, Wisconsin homeowners typically achieve payback periods of 9-12 years.
