Did you know that the amount of solar energy that hits our planet in just 90 minutes could be enough to power all our energy needs for one year? Would you be surprised to learn that solar panels can actually add value to your home? It’s true and this makes the sun the most abundant energy source! It’s time to brush up on your solar energy knowledge.
We are proud to lead the way to a brighter future through our Clean Energy Blueprint. Here are some more important things to know about solar energy:

What does a solar-powered home look like?
A growing number of the customers we serve have made the decision to power their homes or businesses with solar power. Some of the solar panels we’ve installed contribute to Alliant Energy’s grid, and some supply energy directly to a customer’s home. Either way, they’re helping to create a better future.
Make sure to study up on our recent Iowa and Wisconsin solar projects to learn how solar power is making our world better.
