Mounds View Public Schools has 13 school buildings with 40 kW rooftop solar photovoltaic systems. All were installed by IPS Solar over a three year period without any costs to the school district. We benefited from the previous Solar in Schools bill which allowed a private investor the opportunity to finance each school project and receive the incentives (school districts did not qualify for federal tax credits because they are public). The district receives a discount 10-20% discount on their electric bill for 15 years. The electricity produced by the solar arrays goes onto the grid for use in the school and community. After 15 years of discounted electricity, the school district becomes the owner of the array and receives all of the energy produced.
