Solar panels, Polebridge

Solar power in Montana on rooftops could provide 28% of all electricity used in Montana from 3,200 MW of solar panels. [1]

Net metering is available to all consumers for up to at least 10 kW generation. Excess generation is rolled over each month but is lost once each year. [2]
