Thinking about installing solar on your home?
All necessary information to apply for solar interconnection can be found in the DG Policy and Co-Generation Rules, and the Interconnection Application below.
Submit your completed interconnection application to: engineering@shakopeeutilities.com
NOTE: SPU will be offering a $1,000 solar rebate for installed and approved solar systems in 2021. Solar rebate funding is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis.
Rebate applications will not be accepted in advance of a signed interconnection agreement and paid application fee. Your SPU engineering contact will assist with the rebate application at the appropriate time in the process. In an effort to reward more customers installing solar systems within our service territory, SPU has allocated funds to rebate sixty (60) solar installations in 2021.
SPU cannot guarantee the duration of funding nor assume the rate of submissions received. Inquiries about the status of funding prior to signing the interconnection agreement should be made to SPU if the rebate is critical to your final decision. Please contact engineering@shakopeeutilities.com for further information.
SPU reserves the right to deny or prorate the available rebate when a system is either shaded permanently by nearby trees or when the system is not oriented at an azimuth between 120º and 240º.
If the solar system is not installed and approved in the calendar year the project was started the rebate will be forfeited.
Projects started in one calendar year cannot/will not be rebated the following year.
$1,000 rebate is based on $0.25/Watt, maxed at 4,000W regardless of system size installed.
