Reviews frequently note fast callbacks and timely scheduling, including weekend responsiveness. Many mention knowledgeable staff who explain options clearly and keep sites clean. Customers report installations completed within stated time frames and smooth follow-up for monitoring or metering. Pricing is described as reasonable with communication that reduces surprises.

We’ve had solar for 18 months now and love it!
Midwest Solar installers were the epitome of professionalism and competence from the get-go.
From TJ to Forrest to Chris to Skyler, all were a pleasure to deal with.
The installation happened in the time frame committed to, and the job site was left immaculate.
We recently learned we could have consumption metering, and when I contacted Chris he had Skyler out in four days. Skyler showed up on time and had the mods done in ninety minutes.
I highly recommend Midwest Solar installers for adding solar to your home, and I strongly recommend adding solar.

Joshua Haugen on Midwest Solar Installers

I called on a Saturday morning got the voice mail and a return call right away. A man named Christopher called me and was very knowledgeable and friendly. He got to work on my system just as fast as possible. This was such a relief as the installer of my system takes months to return a call if they call at all. Big Thank you too Midwest solar Installers for providing the service Iowans deserve

All the different solar companies I looked into for our house and business. These guys was the most responsive, knowledgeable, and reasonable. Ive had zero issues and have saved thousands in the last couple years. My brother just got his house done as well. 110% recommend these guys if your thinking about solar.

If you are going to have solar installed as my wife and I have done to reduce our electric costs, Midwest Solar Installers is who we recommend. They use American made products. They monitor your system 24/7 to make sure it is always working. They are a local company (Waterloo, Iowa).
