10 Tips for Living on Solar Energy in Iowa

10 Tips for Living on Solar Energy in Iowa

Blog
The demand for energy in Iowa has steadily increased. A growing population requires more electricity. Coal, wind, and natural gas provide options for many communities in the state. However, more residents are turning to solar energy as their preferred sustainable power source. Iowa’s population increased by 13% between 1960 and 2016. That may sound small until you consider that per-resident energy consumption more than doubled. Residents need affordable options to power their homes and businesses. The cost of solar energy in Iowa has decreased by 32% over the past five years. The state has invested over $2 million in the industry, with enough solar installed to provide power for 11,581 homes. The average solar system requires at least 4 hours of peak sunlight to work reliably. Most of Iowa sees…

Blog

We kind of look like the local solar installer. We want to be seen as a national provider.” Mr. Hall founded the company in North Liberty in 2008. In its original iteration as Greenhall Industries, the business helped Iowans become more energy efficient with services such as lighting upgrades that could be funded partly through utility rebates. When Iowa approved a solar income tax credit in 2012 to…

Moxie Solar meets with State Representative Art Staed

Blog
Today CEO Jenn Hall and President Jason Hall met with a State Representative from Iowa House District 66 in Cedar Rapids. Art Staed stopped by Moxie Solar to talk about the future of solar energy in Iowa. Art had this to say: "The Halls are concerned about current policy and budget legislation that would remove solar tax credits and other energy-saving incentives while placing barriers on grid connection, including flat monthly rates. Moxie Solar's request, “We just need things to remain ‘status quo’.”  I agree with the Halls, and not just because solar is better for the environment than fossil fuels - which it certainly is - but it's fiscally sound. Economically, Iowa can’t afford to risk losing hundreds of good-paying solar energy jobs. Solar energy tax credits pay for…
