What You Need to Know when Adding Solar

We are aware of numerous solar contracting companies in our area going door-to-door. We want to provide you the unbiased resources to help you make an informed decision:

  • Do your homework and due diligence by getting at least 3 bids or quotes from different contractors.
  • Check out the solar content on our website that has information on selecting a solar contractor along with tips for hiring a contractor.  
  • Currently, the average cost we are seeing on a residential system is $2-$3 per Watt.
  • There is a 30% tax credit from the Inflation Reduction Act.
  • Residential incentives of $300 may be available from Focus on Energy.
  • If you have additional questions, contact our Energy Services Manager Ashley Sonsthagen at 608-825-1764 or asonsthagen@wppienergy.org.
