[RE-wrenches] co-op rules

[Rebecca Lundberg]

Jesse,

This would be against current MN state law. Who were you talking to?

They can say whatever they want, but that doesn't make it true. No
utilities in MN are exempt from net-metering, and except for when you are
trying to access a rare incentive program, you can install up to a 40 kW
system with no limitations on size. Many in our local solar industry are
working together to make sure utilities don't dissuade customers or try to
enforce rules that go beyond what state law allows. The State Dept of
Commerce and MnSEIA are compiling many complaints similar to this, so we
can work together to combat this sort of thing. I would encourage you to be
in communication with both of these entities.

Sincerely,

Rebecca Lundberg
