Installing Solar, Wind and other Distributed Energy Resources (DER) allows you to both purchase 
and sell power to and from Crow Wing Power. If you are planning to connect to Crow Wing Power’s grid to buy and/or sell power, please follow these steps to facilitate a smooth process for your interconnection. Due to State, Federal, electrical code requirements and for safety purposes, this process must be completed prior to any DER being interconnected.
