BE IT ENACTED BY THE YOUTH LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA YOUTH LEGISLATURE –
An act to
Cheaper Solar Panels
 
SECTION I - PURPOSE
Once solar panels are installed and the battery for the house/building is full, excess energy is sold back to the energy
grid for more money than it already is.
This is already happening and we want it to happen more.
This would reduce the pay off time significantly of solar panels because right now it is not a big investment and this
would make it more of one
 
 
SECTION II - JUSTIFICATION
Global warming is a huge issue (as I’m sure you all know) and this helps with a motivation for people to purchase solar
panels and help the earth.
 
SECTION III - DEFINITIONS
None
 
SECTION IV - FUNDING
Reduction of taxes towards Excel so they can afford the reduction of pay
 
SECTION V – PENALTIES/ENFORCEMENT
There is no enforcement it is more of a motivation
 
SECTION VI – EFFECTIVE DATE
May 1st
