Bill makes it easier to install solar on public buildings.

In May 2012, a bipartisan group of legislators passed an Environment Minnesota-backed bonding bill that makes it easier to install solar on schools, hospitals and other public buildings. The provision will allow public building projects financed by bonding to use 5% of the project cost for solar power technology. And best of all, a "Made in Minnesota" provision will help local solar businesses manufacture this technology right here in Minnesota. This isn't just a victory for solar power and the environment—it's also a victory for Minnesota's economy.
