Does Solar Work in Wisconsin?
Yes! Solar works year-round in Wisconsin.
Snow melts off the modules faster than on your roof.
During the summer you will produce excess energy and you collect credits. Those credits are applied in the winter months when production is lower.
Customer Testimonials
When Current Electric hosted a residential solar webinar, we were honored to have two Current Electric solar customers share their stories. They provided honest insight into their research, the design and planning process, installation, and system monitoring.
