Centauri Systems LLC

We had a seamless experience with Centauri. From start to finish, everyone was responsive, kind + professional. They kept us on track and the whole process moved swiftly along all the way through install. We felt lucky to work with them and are very pleased with our panels.

We had a great experience with Centauri, installing a solar system with battery storage. They explained the process well with realistic deliverables that they hit. Pricing was competitive and I felt they offered a better product without a bunch of financing gimmicks like some of their competitors. Over-all a great experience!

Highly recommend

Great experience - start to finish. Communication and setting up expectations were very clear. The couple of concerns I had along the way (where equipment was going to be placed and other questions) were addressed very quickly. Install and interconnection happened much faster than I expected (understand much of that is in the hands of the city, state and utility approval) but Centauri was on top of things to make sure they moved along as smoothly as possible. I highly recommend these guys.

Overall a good experience with Centauri. They put together one of the best proposals in terms of power generation per dollar of all the businesses I spoke with. On top of that they were very flexible with scheduling. Would absolutely recommend them to others.

Great people. Great company

Very professional and very observant. They have excellent communication skills and the entire staff was very professional. I highly recommend this company to anyone in the market for solar. I am very happy with the service and the product.

Great experience. We landed with Centauri thru the Switch Together program and Hennepin County and they did a fantastic job start to finish. Clear and transparent information sharing and quality product. Overall the rep, Trevor, project management and installation team and process was smooth and we felt well-informed. They were flexible with our decision to add the trim pieces once we saw the panels installed we ultimately decided on partial coverage with our bill adjusted accordingly. Trevor stopped by during install to be sure we were happy and if any additional info needed. They look great!! Highly recommend this team.

Will definitely recommend Centauri!

Really impressed with Centauri from start to finish. The installation was smooth, the crew was professional, and they made the whole solar process easy to understand. Great experience overall.

Excellent Service / Smooth Installation

Centauri was excellent to work with. We started the process in late fall, with a remote installation on our barn scheduled for this spring. Communication with the project manager was timely and we were kept informed of all the pieces, with permits, interconnection agreements, installation and inspections. Our system has been up and running for 3 weeks now and we are looking forward to seeing the changes in our electric bills.

Excellent solar installer

Working with Centauri Systems on my rooftop install was a really good experience. I found them to be very customer-centric and any time I had a question about anything, Madison was always very prompt in getting back to me. My system has been working great since installation 3 months ago. I can see why they get consistently great reviews.

Communicative and friendly!

Working with Centauri Systems has been a pleasure - from the initial consult to the project completion. They responded quickly to any questions I had and provided me with the documentation I needed. I also LOVE my system. I'm already offsetting my electric costs by 150% avg since the sun has come back out. I so look forward to benefiting from this system for years. Thank you, Centauri!

Professional and Friendly

Centauri was wonderful to work with throughout the process. They took the time to explain the project and didn't use pressure tactics to complete the sale. On site employees were professional and friendly. I loved how they interacted and enjoyed working with each other. The project remained on schedule and we were kept up to speed throughout. Install looks great and the system is working exactly as promised. I highly recommend Centauri Systems for your solar project!

Very pleased with Centauri!

We have had a great experience working with Centauri Systems, from the proposal to installation! The crew installing the system was efficient and friendly, and the project management team was very communicative about each step in the process. The system is now up and running and we're enjoying seeing the sun's energy power our house!

Great Experience

I couldn’t be happier with the experience I had with Centauri Systems installing my solar panels. From the very first consultation to the final installation, their team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making the process smooth and stress-free. They took the time to explain every step, answered all my questions clearly, and ensured everything was customized to fit my home’s needs. The installation itself was efficient and completed on schedule, and the quality of their work really shows. They even took extra time to assist in helping me secure a grant. I highly recommend Centauri Systems to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy solar provider!

Very happy with Centauri

We had a terrific experience with Centauri. They were very responsive and communicative. They helped push the utility to stop dragging its feet when necessary, and they kept us informed each step of the way. Friendly, professional and flexible. And unlike some other installers, they did not make dodgy promises about whether the project would be operational in time for us to get the solar credits before they expired. They gave us a price for early 2026 (with no tax credits) that was better than the prices others gave us for 2025 (with tax credits).

Excellent and Perfert Solar Panel Installation

The Centauri solar panel installation was smooth and professional. The team arrived on time, explained every step clearly, and completed the work efficiently. The system is performing well, Great service and quality workmanship—highly recommended.

Centauri systems solar install review

These guys was absolutely awesome!!! From quotation all the way through completion of the witness test! Extremely professional, responsive and very helpful. 5 star+ experience!!!

The team at Centauri is top notch! From the sales team taking the time to help me understand the entire system in great detail, the install crew’s attention to every detail, and the front office’s superb communication and constant updates, this company’s service can not be beat! Above all, they installed a more efficient & higher quality panel & system at a better price than competitors. I love how they’re a small local company that truly cares for their customers and will stand behind their warranties & work. I will be recommending Centauri to everyone I know for any solar needs!

Great experience with Centauri

Centauri was wonderful to work with. This process can be long and confusing but Centauri held our hand along the way and made it as seamless and quick as possible. We were beyond pleased with their support and guidance as well as transparency and understanding. They are the only solar company I would recommend!

Amazing solar company!

I received multiple quotes from solar companies. Centauri was one of the few that were still honest with their prices with the solar rebate expiring soon (and now expired), not artificially raising their prices. We had a slight hiccup in the project which caused a delay, Centauri handled everything professionally, promptly, and took a hit on their end to ensure customer satisfaction. Throughout the process, they were always prompt in their responses, took their time in answering my questions, and very friendly. I can't say enough good things about Centauri!

Great Experience from Beginning to End

Centauri Systems was the first company I contacted to inquire about solar panels. I knew very little about the whole process making Centauri a great place to start. Trevor explained everything to the level of detail that I needed or wanted, and gave me a couple of design options with different price points. He was quick to respond when I had follow up questions, and always very low pressure.He even gave me a referral to have my tree taken down which came in much lower than other quotes I had gotten. I did check with three other companies before deciding to go with Centauri, and honestly the choice was an easy one to make. They were transparent and honest every step of the way, never promising more than they could guarantee. Trevor said it would be a "stretch" to complete the project before the end of year. This was because most of the production milestones were dependent on Excel, and they were swamped. I am very happy to report that the panels were fully installed in mid December, in spite of many snowy days. Everyone on the entire team was so pleasant to work with, and always happy to answer questions. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to install solar panels.

I'd hire them again

I'm really glad I went with Centauri for my system, which is 6.3 kW and 10kWh of storage The price was good (lower than some quotes that were speccing worse equipment!), and the quality of work was great. The folks that came out to do the work (Spencer, George, Chris, Zach, Andy, Graham) were all great. They worked really hard, were knowledgeable about how things worked, and worked with me on where to position some of the equipment. They took the time to explain what the various pieces of equipment did and how they interacted. They even correctly identified me as the sort of nerd who'd want the installation manuals, and they left those for me. The original estimate for how long the project would take was off by quite a bit, but they worked around my schedule, and from what I can tell they've made changes to prevent that in the future. If I do have problems with the system down the road, I'm glad that it'll be Centauri doing the warranty work. If they were to go out of business (and I sincerely hope they don't), their standard package includes third-party warranty insurance, so you won't be out of luck. After 7 months of operation, I'm still pleased with the system. I have no qualms recommending Centauri, and I've pointed friends to them. Whoever you go with, have them spec the system based on your usage, then spec a bit bigger to see how it changes cost and performance. If you do want to scale up, it's cheaper to do that up front. Even if you don't, you don't have wonder about "what ifs".

Fabulous install!

The Centauri staff and installers are top-notch. With MN weather, a less than helpful electrical utility company that had issues with their own stuff, the Centauri Project Management staff were a dream to work with. They were responsive and knowledgeable. On the day of the install, the crew was here and gone. Being mindful of the residence and cleaning up behind themselves.

Highly recommend Centauri Systems!

We were referred to Centauri Systems and couldn't be more pleased with our whole experience from start to finish. Everyone we interacted with was professional and great to work with - it's important to note that Centauri only uses their own in-house employees - which was a really important differentiator from other companies who outsource work to 3rd parties. The project management team of Madison and Tiffany kept us well-informed throughout. Zach the electrician did a great job with the battery install and electrical work plus their entire installation team was awesome. I would highly recommend Centauri Systems to anyone looking for a high-quality solar and battery system install.

Great company - very professional

Centauri kept us well informed throughout the process, and their install crew did an outstanding job under difficult weather conditions.

Happy with my choice!

I talked to a few different installers, and I felt like Centauri was the best option. They did not disappoint! Great communication, industry knowledge, pricing and a product! I like that they are local and have been around for many years.

Great Installers, lousy power company

We installed an almost 14kw system last year. Centauri was great and did a nice job explaining things to us, installing it, laying out all the electrical work, cleaning up nicely. Xcel was a pain to deal with to get approvals and that was the biggest factor in the delay of our system installation.

Nothing but very well trained and competent company.

I was applying for solar last spring and thought I'd found a company to install my solar at my home in Wyoming Minnesota. I decided at the last minute I'd look one more time. I Googled solar one last time an found Centauri Systems LLC. It is a local company with office in the Twin Cities. The company I was going to have my install by was In another state. I read the reviews for Centauri Systems LLC and only found the highest quality of reviews. I've had first class service by Jason Gardner sales person. Jason took my application and contacted me from start to finish. He's contacted me several times after the solar was completed to ensure everything was going ok and working fine. I've had constant updates about the progress threw the application process from Madison the head project Manager. She insured all permits were submitted and approved from all levels to include Xcel. It was 100 hands free for myself, Centauri Systems LLC ensured everything was taken care of. I couldn't have asked for a better install team. They were here when they said they would be. Every person on the install team was very kind and polite. They had my solar installed within minimal amount of time. I Was shocked at how fast it was done. I'VE had zero problems with my system and Im overly pleased at how the complete process was handled by tbe complete team at Centauri Systems LLC . If your interested in solar this is hands down the company you should contact. Minnesota company that stands behind quality. Tim

Great experience for our solar project

Centauri did a fantastic job throughout the process of our solar project on our house. From the quote phase, communication from Project Management, and the installation which was done in winter weather, the team was organized and professional. We are really happy with the outcome!

very poor ROI

Still waiting (over a year)for Xcel to send me credits. I was told explicitly that it would be residential rates, and got commercial rates. I could have applied it to an apartments meter, but was told there was no reason to. The Tax situation isn't what was promised. I have to spread the credit over multiple years. Was a bad investment. Decent price, no issue with the install, just given bad information, and no help getting Xcel resolved.
