Reviews consistently mention clear, timely communication and a smooth process from initial consultation through interconnection. Homeowners note that questions are answered patiently and that scheduling and permitting are well organized. Many cite professional field crews and tidy installations, with multiple reports of systems running reliably several years after install.

Amelia Hennes on MN Solar

Working with MN Solar was such a smooth process! They carefully walked us through every step of the months-long process and patiently answered all of our questions. Each interaction with both the permitting and field crews was kind and professional. We are very happy with our solar installation, and I would highly recommend anyone interested in going solar to work with MN Solar!

They made it super easy to get solar installed. They were very helpful and patiently answered my many questions. They communicated clearly throughout all the steps through the process. Picture of the Aurora over my new panels after installation. It was prior to the interconnect, so I could not tell if they were generating power or not :-)

Eugene Orr on MN Solar

Our MN Solar install was completed in 2020 and 5 years later this system has been excellent. First and foremost, MN Solar did an amazing job with the contracting arrangements, communications on the project and installation of the system. We had a couple of requests and they handled everything very well. We worked with the MN CEE for financing to get the work done and the entire process from start to finish was quite smooth.

The only issue that occurred for us was with reporting system, which MN Solar helped extensively to troubleshoot (even though it wasn't their system and was a vendor). Ultimately, the vendor had an issue they didn't even know about that they eventually fixed and since we have had no issue with our reporting metrics.

5 years later and the system runs great. We've produced over 40 MWh of power for our home and the grid and have been very pleased with the production. The ROI won't be as fast for us as we have some neighboring trees that reduce some of our production in the late summer, but it was still well worth the investment.

Reg Dunlap on MN Solar

We've had our MN Solar-installed system for 5 years now. It's been 100% reliable and we love it! They were super professional all through the design and sales process. I liked that they were a MN-based company, who use their own employees to install the systems. I had a great talk with the lead electrician who met with the city electrical inspector and I, and was glad to hear the city inspector likes the way they install their systems. We are looking at a payback of all our costs in 5 more years, but in the meantime, are using clean energy every day.

Christian Korab on MN Solar

Having worked with contractors all my life I can truly say the folks of MN Solar are a cut above even the most talented and efficient professionals I've ever known. From my first meeting with the owner of this extraordinary firm, to the graceful presence of all the construction crew at my home-studio and even all my interactions with members of the firm whom I've not met in person, each and every one added to their professional performance an open, interested and interesting personal presence. They have been gracious and delightful house gusts in addition to giving of their many skills.

I believe that MN Solar models a desperately needed alternative to business as usual. They beautifully balance the need to run a business profitably with heartfelt and more challenging commitments to integrity of service, participation in community and hope for our human future as participants—really the new kids on the block—in a greater community of life. Beyond delivering every detail of their contracted job with impressive skills, they have inspired me to remember that sunshine will surely follow even the most disturbing of darkness in our time.

Thank you all!
