Minnesota's rural expansion of solar power

An array of solar panels
An array of solar panels is seen on Thursday, Dec. 4, 2014, in Pelican Rapids, Minn. Lake Region Electric Cooperative workers used their own expertise, along with the derricks normally used to install power poles, to put in this array. The do-it-yourself effort saved considerable dollars and contributed to the project's viability.
