'''Solar power in Wisconsin'''
A 2016 estimate indicates that a typical 5 kW solar array installed in Wisconsin will pay for itself in 13 years and go on to provide an additional profit of $18,860 during its 25-year life.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://solarpowerrocks.com/wisconsin/|title=2018 Guide to Wisconsin Home Solar Incentives, Rebates, and Tax Credits
==Implications==
In 2007, Wisconsin's largest solar array was the 44.4 kW array on the [[Urban Ecology Center]] in [[Milwaukee]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://madisonpeakoil-blog.blogspot.com/2007/02/largest-wisconsin-solar-array-to-be.html|title=Largest Wisconsin Solar Array to be Dedicated February 10
In 2011, the largest array was the 360 kW parking lot array in [[Verona, Wisconsin|Verona]] owned by [[Epic Systems|Epic]],<ref>{{cite web|url=
In June 2016, the 2.3 MW Rock River solar project near [[Beloit,
The KI convention center located in Green Bay, WI currently (as of 2013) has the largest solar PV installation in Northeastern Wisconsin. The new 115-kilowatt array comprises 480 PV solar panels.<ref>
As of May 2014 there are about 2,250 homes powered by solar energy in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin ranks 24th in the nation for the number of solar jobs.
===Water Treatment Facilities===
In Superior, WI the cities wastewater treatment plant has installed four So-larBee units to provide adequate aeration without the use of the cities 75-hp units. After this installation the 75-hp blower units could be completely shut off during no-flow periods and in result the city of Superior saved $18,000 per month.
