About Northwind Solar
Northwind Solar was established in 2007 in Amherst, Wisconsin. In 2013 the company transitioned to a worker‑owned cooperative, meaning the technicians and designers who install each system are also the owners of the business. The cooperative model was adopted to align long‑term company health with customer success. The firm provides turnkey solar photovoltaic and battery storage solutions for residential, commercial, agricultural, nonprofit, and municipal customers across 19 counties in Central Wisconsin. Its in‑house team handles site evaluation, shade analysis, system design, financial modeling, incentive and grant applications (including Focus on Energy and USDA REAP), utility interconnection, permitting, installation, commissioning, and ongoing service. Installations are performed by NABCEP‑credentialed designers and licensed electricians, and the company has deployed megawatts of distributed solar generation since its founding. Customers range from homeowners and family farms to businesses, schools, faith communities, and local government facilities in communities such as Wausau, Marshfield, Stevens Point, Appleton, and Oshkosh. Projects include rooftop and ground‑mount arrays, solar‑plus‑storage systems, EV charging infrastructure, and energy monitoring platforms. Northwind Solar differentiates itself through its worker‑owned structure, which eliminates commissioned sales and ensures the same personnel support a system years after installation. The company backs its work with a 10‑year workmanship warranty, uses components from brands such as Tesla, Qcells, IronRidge, Enphase, and Franklin Whole Home, and relies heavily on referrals and repeat business.
