We had Sisu install a large rooftop system, 58 panels, with batteries. We are very happy with the result. The owner of Sisu, Erick (Rickey) Sipila was great at guiding us through the various options and was very responsive to our questions.
Truly a great experience working with Rickey and his team. Given that solar installation requires drilling through one's roof, I felt reassured that the owner of the company was supervising the install. The team even padded their ladders so that my gutters would not be damaged. Also, Rickey provided the best value for top tier solar equipment. He was also exceptionally patient in answering questions prior to purchase and reviewing all of the available options for rooftop solar.
The crew worked hard dealing with rocky ground and had to change the panel stand construction plan. SISU Solar showed dedication, grid, patience, and hardiness clearly living up to their SISU name. Highly recommend them!
Rickey Sipila of Sisu Solar installed a good system with Qcells and Enphase inverters. His team built a sturdy foundation for the Sinclair Sky Rack Adjustable Tilt Ground Mount, which is easy to use. He is skilled with making an electrical design that is expandable. Rickey is timely, capable and knowledgeable. Sisu Solar helped us accomplish our goal of producing renewable solar energy for our home in Hermantown and reducing CO2 emissions that contribute to climate change.
After getting quotes from 5 other solar installers we chose Sisu. Here are our main reasons:1. The person setting up our quote also was the person designing the system and also the person who did the installation. Many others had a marketing agent, a design engineer, subcontractors for installation. A lot of overhead costs and then who do you call with questions or issues??? With Sisu it was always the same person.2. Response to questions was quick and explanations given to totally understand the product and process.3. Used good quality and well known and established system components. This helps to assure that if damage or failure of any parts in the system occurs they can be replaced and are compatible.4. Reasonable cost. Rated among the top 3 contenders for installation costs. Also gave options for cost reductions and good information on how to finance the project.5. Gave a quick and complete cost analysis for battery backup system. Others were reluctant with quotes, experience and costs were much higher.6. Professional and helpful staff members.I recommend Sisu for your solar venture.
