of Solar Energy Produced Annually
Our installed projects generate an impressive annual amount (and growing) of clean solar energy.
Ground Mount
Typically installed on properties with a lot of space, ground mount arrays are installed facing directly south to maximize production.
Ballast Roof Mount
If you have a flat roof, the ballasted mounts anchor down the modules without penetrating the membrane of your roof.
I want to thank you and your Nelnet Renewable Energy staff for the smooth and quick completion of the Escanaba Solar Project Expansion. Escanaba will benefit from the increased solar generation during the peak load months of June, July, and August, and will reduce our future purchased electric capacity requirements. Again, thank you for the job well done! It has been a pleasure to work with Nelnet Renewable Energy.

Solar Incentives
Federal Income Tax Credit
Business taxpayers may be eligible to claim a tax credit on their Federal Income Tax return of 30% or more, depending on the circumstances, on qualifying expenditures on a solar system that they own. Business tax credits may be possible to carry forward to offset future tax liabilities if there is insufficient tax liability in the solar system’s first year of operation. Consult your tax advisor to determine whether this credit is available to you and for what amount.
Net Metering
If your solar system produces more energy than you’re using, you may get credits applied to your monthly electricity bill at the discretion of your utility provider. 1 Net metering can vary, depending on your utility provider.
