Lake Mills Schools Transition to Solar Power Through
Collaboration with US Solar Network

Lake Mills Schools are advancing sustainability and financial stewardship by partnering with local business US Solar Network to transition to solar power. The project will install on-site solar energy systems to offset a significant portion of the district’s electricity use, helping stabilize energy costs,
reduce reliance on traditional utilities, and limit exposure to future price increases.

The initiative supports environmental responsibility and provides students with a real-world learning opportunity in renewable energy. With the support of federal incentives, solar tax credits,
Focus on Energy, Solar on Schools, and the Solar Moonshot program, the project is financially viable while minimizing upfront costs. Over time, energy savings will allow more resources to be directed
to classrooms and student programs, reflecting the district’s commitment to responsible use of
taxpayer dollars.
