Wisconsin is lagging behind some of its neighbors in terms of adoption of solar energy, but advocates say a few policy changes could help turn the tide.
A state-by-state map of the United States from the Solar Energy Industries Association shows Wisconsin had the second-fewest solar installations among its neighboring states — trailing only Iowa.
Through the fourth quarter of 2023, the Badger state had 15,164 installations, while Iowa had 14,448. Meanwhile, Illinois had a whopping 71,455 solar installations, Michigan had 20,920 and Minnesota had 18,216.
