Why Stillwater Homeowners Are Going Solar
Financial Benefits of Solar Energy
Stillwater homes are a mix of historic character and newer builds, and both can benefit from solar. Here is why many homeowners here are making the switch:
- Stillwater is Xcel Energy territory, so most homes qualify for Solar*Rewards: 5 cents for every kWh your system produces, paid yearly for ten years, when your agreement is signed in 2026.
- Minnesota net metering is 1:1 by state law, so the extra power you send to the grid earns bill credits at the full retail rate.
- Minnesota charges no sales tax on solar equipment, which lowers your upfront cost.
- Solar works in snowy winters. Panels handle the cold well, and snow tends to slide right off.
Environmental Advantages
Solar energy is a clean, renewable power source that helps reduce your carbon footprint. By going solar in the St. Croix Valley, you help protect the landscape that makes this area special.
- Solar power reduces greenhouse gas emissions and combats climate change.
- Transitioning to solar energy promotes a cleaner, healthier environment for the community and future generations.
Increase in Property Value
Homes with solar can be more attractive to buyers, and a system you own stays with the home when you sell. Ask us how ownership options compare to leasing.
- Properties with solar panels are more attractive to potential buyers.
- Solar-equipped properties in Stillwater can enjoy long-term financial benefits.
Local Projects, Trusted Results
We install across Washington County and the St. Croix Valley, from downtown Stillwater and Oak Park Heights to Bayport, Lake Elmo and Stillwater Township. We handle the city permit and the Xcel interconnection for you.
If your home is in Stillwater’s Downtown Design Review District or Neighborhood Conservation District, exterior work can need a design permit from the city’s Heritage Preservation Commission. We check that before we design your system, so the layout fits the house and the approval process.

Solar Solutions for All Needs
Residential Solar Solutions
Many Stillwater homes sit under mature trees or on bluff and valley lots, and a lot of the housing stock is older. We measure shade on your actual roof and check its age before we quote, so the production estimate holds up. Then we design a system around your usage and goals and explain the numbers in plain language. No pressure, no hype. Planning a new roof first? Centauri manages roofing projects from start to warranty through our roofing partner, and we can detach and reset solar panels for a re-roof, even on systems installed by other companies. Request an exterior quote to talk it through.
Commercial Solar Solutions
For Stillwater businesses, we build solar that lowers operating costs and holds up over the long term. The federal business tax credit now requires systems to be placed in service by December 31, 2027, so timing matters. Tax treatment varies by business, so we recommend involving your tax professional early.
Customer Satisfaction and Commitment to Quality
Our reputation is built on homeowners who are glad they called us. With ongoing support and monitoring, we make sure your system keeps performing for years to come.
