Residential solar power helps homeowners reduce energy costs, increase sustainability, and gain energy independence through clean power solutions.
At Northwind Solar, we’ve seen firsthand how powerful a referral can be. When past customers share their story, what the process was like, how their system performs, and why they chose solar, it helps others feel confident taking the next step. That's exactly how five Stevens Point firefighters spread the solar spark! Over time, a close-knit group of retired firefighters turned decades of firehouse camaraderie into something bigger: a five-home solar ripple. Through trusted conversations, real-life experience, and shared values, one solar installation helped “spark” the next. Victor Kedrowski, Doug Christianson, Dennis Kitowski, Todd Becken, and Dennis Flanigan each chose to go solar with Northwind, and helped others feel confident doing the same through the kind of recommendation that only comes from people you truly trust.
At Northwind Solar, some of our strongest solar referral chains start not in boardrooms or webinars, but in fields, barns, and local community halls, where people share their real experiences and encourage others to take the first step. That’s exactly the case with Hans of Breitenmoser Family Farms , a lifelong Wisconsin farmer whose decision to go solar over a decade ago has helped power his dairy operation, cut his energy costs, and quietly inspire others, including his friend Dora , who went solar on her home in 2025.
Solar energy has many advantages when it comes to efficiency, the quality of energy generated, and renewable aspects of the type of energy.
