ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Minnesota Department of Commerce Solar for Schools Program will award about $7.5 million in grants for up to 80 schools in 45 school districts in Greater Minnesota.
The Commerce Department’s Mo Schriner says the program hopes to provide savings and learning opportunities.
Grants will cover up to 95% of costs for the schools, based on their financial need, allowing schools to install solar panels on school rooftops or school grounds.
