OUR COMMUNITY SOLAR GARDENS
North High Community Solar Garden
In collaboration with North Minneapolis High School, Renewable Energy Partners and others, Minneapolis Climate Action helped establish the North High Community Solar Garden. Installed in 2021, this 365 kW solar garden produces enough clean energy to power dozens of Minneapolis homes and apartments every year.
Subscriptions to the North High CSG are available on a pay-up-front and pay-as-you-go basis. For pay-as-you-go plans, subscribers pay a small amount for their subscription each month and get a bill credit that is always higher than the payment. It’s a win-win for your pocketbook and the planet!
The North High CSG is currently connected to the grid and producing energy and benefits for our subscribers! Recently re-certified under the new MN CSG program, this garden is dedicated to providing the best benefits possible to our subscribers with a focus on Low and Moderate Income households.

Second Chance Community Solar Garden
The Emerge Second Chance CSG solar array is installed and sending energy to the grid!
The Second Chance Community Solar Garden (CSG) was developed with local minority business enterprises and Emerge Second Chance Recycling Facility, a nonprofit mattress recycling facility that provides job training for formerly incarcerated citizens. We thank Emerge Second Chance Recycling Facility, Renewable Energy Partners (our certified minority enterprise solar developer) and S3 Solar Service Systems (a black-owned solar company).
The Second Chance CSG provides options for pay-up-front and pay-as-you-go subscribers, who can participate regardless of income, credit score, or whether they rent or own their own home.
The Second Chance CSG was installed in 2021 and connected to the grid in late 2022.
