ERC      Minnesota Solar Potential         ERC      

 Minnesota has a overall sun rating of 4.6 that's great but the biggest thing going for

Minnesota  is our cold weather.  We have to design systems for peak voltage output of the

panels, that means at 40 below it is around a 20% increase in panel efficiency.

 The colder it is the better PV works! Also when you install a PV roof mounted system the sun

is blocked from hitting your roof thus helping to reduce your attic temps in the summer.

Even Solar thermal works in Minnesota,  We sell and install the German made Schuco Solar

thermal hot water heating system. This system can meet the majority or all of  your hot water

needs.

This system can also be used to supplement your home heating, you can tie it into your new

building or existing floor hot water heating system.
