Minnesota is on its way to hitting its renewable energy goals—and it won't cost taxpayers any extra.

A study released Thursday by MN Solar Pathways found that solar could make up 10 percent of the state's electricity by 2025. In addition, the report predicts that as renewable energy costs decrease, Minnesota will be able to produce 70 percent of its power from solar and wind by 2050 at costs comparable to natural gas generation.

Minnesota this year has already hit its renewable electricity standard goal of 25 percent by 2025 using wind, solar, biomass, and hydropower. It's also on course to reach its current solar electricity standard of 1.5 percent by the end of 2020.

Be interesting to know what the % was of each. And if Biomass and Hydro have increased. I'm hoping Maine puts a tax credit back on Solar as I built my shop with the plan of covering that roof with PV. Payback is still over 10 years but maybe not with more tax credits? Hydro is shrinking in Maine and permitting existing is a nightmare which is why it is shrinking. Biomass here has shrunk also.

Solar is so tricky this far north. 30-40 years from now I have faith that we’ll have solved many energy challenges. And I’m really hoping solar is feasible as a supplement this far north on a widespread scale.

I would love to have a house with a solar roof.

cold and bright sunny day in February make for great PV production as the panel stays cooler and produces more energy. Trouble for me here is November December January. Might as well cover panels with a tarp.
