The Solar for Schools grant program was established by the MN State Legislature in 2021. The second of two funding rounds in 2024 opens for readiness assessment applications 7/1-7/31/2024.
Before beginning an application, schools must email SolarForSchools@state.mn.us to obtain a project ID, and then proceed with the notice of intent: school readiness assessment, and if deemed ready to proceed with solar they will be invited to compete a full grant application.
CERTs can support schools with free general guidance and technical assistance at any stage of their solar inquiry and process. Learn more about the ways we can support your school.
