The electric utility serving northeastern and central Minnesota has added new incentives for customers who install solar-electric power arrays, including a made-in-Minnesota bonus.

Minnesota Power said Tuesday that its updated SolarSense program will rebate $1,000 per kilowatt (kW) to customers installing solar-electric technology manufactured in Minnesota. That's atop the existing base rebate of $2,000 per kilowatt. A kilowatt is 1,000 watts.
