Community Solar Changes the Game
Young folks have been leaving rural communities for lack of jobs. But Solar Heat and Electric can help you bring them back. Solar installations create the good-paying jobs that motivate well educated youth to remain where they grew up.
A recent installation in Central City, Nebraska - organized by Solar Heat and Electric - demonstrates how solar is changing the game across the Upper Midwest.
Partnerships Pay
When a local tax payor purchases solar panels, then sells the electricity to your community at a reduced rate, you will qualify for a 26% federal tax credit.
That's a game changer.

Your community can trust Solar Heat & Electric because they have been involved with regional solar for 30 years. They supervised the first "net metering" solar project in Nebraska, so their hands-on expertise is unquestioned.
