The Milwaukee Shines Program Manager, Amy Heart stated that Southeast Wisconsin and Milwaukee are now at the forefront of the solar industry. The US make, the quality, solar cooling and heating are all the result of a multi-dimensional effort. The city of the solar program of Milwaukee, Milwaukee Shines, works to support and build an increasing solar energy market. Milwaukee Shines offers solar outreach and education, funding solutions to bring down solar cost and is trying to make the solar installation process convenient for contractors, customers and officials.
In the year 2008, Milwaukee was called as one of 25 Solar America Cities by the U.S Department of Energy. Milwaukee has begun a public-private, comprehensive partnership approach for enabling solar energy adoption encompassing solar hot water and solar electric systems. As Milwaukee is close to an evolving regional SHW market, has access to growing global and national markets, manufacturing expertise, state incentives for renewable energy component manufacture is available and there is affordable land for relocation or business expansion, hence was reported to have the potential to be a Solar Hot Water (SHW) manufacturing cluster by a study done by CH2M Hill.
The Wisconsin Solar Initiative is a project of the Milwaukee Metro Solar Hot Water Business Council and the Midwest Renewable Energy Association.
