Hello Facebook! Sorry we dont post too often here, but heck its a good thing to do every once in a blue moon.

2025 was a very busy year for us as the 30% tax credit was ending at the end of the year. Many people reached out to us to try to get their system's installed before the deadline.

Now we are in 2026 but still optimistic for the future. Even though its a big hit to our industry, we believe Sisu Solar is in an advantageous position to continue growing and expanding solar access to Northern MN.

In the short term for 2026, we are focused on commerical solar projects because the 30% incentive did not end for them. So please friends, spread the word! If there's ever a time to get solar, its now before the incentive ends on July 4th for commerical projects. 30% is a lot!

Thanks all, checkout our 2025 highlights here:

Watch those electricity rates! Solar panels can help mitigate the surge of increasing electricity rates. When we make our proposals, we typically estimate that prices increase at about 3% each year. Here is what is currently happening though:

LCP increasing 5%

Xcel increasing 9.6%

MN Power increasing 4.9%

The costs of an ongoing move to more green energy is going to cost Lake Country Power members some more green.

Happy new year everyone! 2025 is a special year because we just got word that we have access to the solar panels that are made in the Mt Iron solar panel plant! So if you think this is the year you want to go solar, ask us about these panels and we may be able to get them on your property! see the panel manufacturers here:

This year Sisu had a really cool experience. It's a whole story.

Back in 2018 when Rickey was in college, he was part of an organization that built solar-powered electric cars @ the University of Minnesota Solar Vehicle Project. One project he worked on was finding homes for several older solar cars from 1993 to 2013 that the team didn't have storage for anymore. One of those cars was the 1997 solar car "Aurora III". This was given to the The Museum of Solar Energy, which is a awesome MN organization that elevates the discussion of solar energy throughout the world and has a bunch of historic solar artifacts.

Fast forward to 2024, this year, Sisu Solar installed a new adjustable ground mount at the location where Aurora III is stored! What a small world! Aaron, Rickey, and Adam were able to roll it out and get a picture. It was really a special nostalgic moment to see this beautiful car again, still in great condition too!

CERTs is a great organization that is constantly helping Minnesotans learn about solar and many other renewables! Thanks for the interview!

At CERTs, we're always buzzing with excitement about the clean energy revolution! Curious about the diverse paths young professionals take in the industry, we caught up with Rickey Sipila, the energetic force behind Sisu Solar, for a juicy Q&A!
