Why My Company Joined MnSEIA:

As an engineering and environmental consulting firm working in the renewable field for decades, MnSEIA membership puts Barr in the middle of the solar + storage movement in Minnesota. Our active involvement opens doors to partnerships with the utilities, developers, public entities, tribes, and commercial and industrial companies in solar + storage. MnSEIA's ongoing engagement with policymakers helps us anticipate, adapt, and respond to policy as it develops.
Andy Polzin, Barr Engineering Co, MnSEIA Board Member
MNL is a MnSEIA member because it’s a great opportunity for us to share our passion for better land use with other practitioners across the state. As a leading vegetation installer and manager, connecting with others who care about Minnesota’s green future is a great benefit.

As a MnSEIA member, you help shape the policy priorities through discussions with other members who are leaders in the state’s solar industry.
Bobby King, Minnesota Director of Solar United Neighbors
US Solar is a MnSEIA member because it’s a great forum to discuss regulatory and legislative initiatives for our state - and their policy staff are qualified and effective.
US SOLAR
MnSEIA is a leader for solar policy change, as advocates on behalf of each member, and providing the education and networking we all need for smarter business. The organization has our backs when the winds that blow against solar energy arise. Our business, native habitat restoration on solar sites, is more informed, better connected and more successful because of the work MnSEIA does. It was an easy decision to become President’s Circle members and supporters.
