Energy Concepts

I recently partnered with Energy Concepts for the installation of my solar array. I reached out to many providers, and Energy Concepts was the only company willing to work with my unique requirements and desires. From day one all the way through completion, they collaborated and delivered at every step. If you’re looking for the best of the best, this is the team. Every interaction was friendly, thoughtful, and backed by real expertise. They worked closely with me to design a 26 kW system, zeroing in on my specific needs and helping navigate utility approval and permitting without a hitch. They drove ground mount posts with such precision that you could see straight through ½" holes lined up across six posts nearly 80 feet span, no exaggeration. They also supported the electrical installation and absolutely knocked it out of the park. The work is clean, organized, and clearly done with pride, something many installers simply don’t take the extra time to achieve. They answered every question I had and didn’t mind me watching along the way. The operations manager was kind, responsive, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire project. During the busiest phases, he was in touch almost daily to work through complex parts of the process. And the office manager is one of the nicest, most enjoyable people you’ll meet. The final install exceeded all expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. If you’re looking for a down-to-earth team of absolute experts who have your best interests in mind, run an honest business, and truly care about their work, look no further. I recently learned that Energy Concepts has been in business longer than most of the big players in the market. They know what they’re doing and they’re in it to make a difference, not just a sale. If you’re considering solar in any way, give Energy Concepts a call. You won’t be disappointed, and you won’t be pushed into anything. Just genuine people who know solar.

Exceeded Expectations! Energy Concepts Made Going Solar Effortless I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience of having solar panels installed by Energy Concepts in Hudson, WI. From start to finish, the process was seamless, professional, and ultimately, far more rewarding than I had anticipated. The entire staff was fantastic to work with. I dealt primarily with Lance, but also had great conversations with Claudia and Russell. Every interaction was easy, clear, and friendly. They truly delivered on making the entire journey effortless on my part. They took care of securing all the necessary permits and handled the scheduling of all inspections, which saved me significant time and stress. Now, having the panels operational for a full year, I am genuinely impressed and a little surprised by the financial results. The cost savings have exceeded my expectations, confirming that this was a fantastic investment. If you are considering solar in the Hudson area, I enthusiastically recommend Energy Concepts. They are a dedicated team that provides exceptional service and outstanding results.

We are 11 months in using the ground mount Solar Array that the Team at Energy Concepts designed and installed. We spent several months gathering education and ultimately bids (7...yes 7 bids) from area companies that install solar. Energy Concepts wasn't the last bid we received, but, we were pretty confident that once we received the last bid and completed our analysis, we were going to select Energy Concepts to complete our project. A company with experience mattered to us. That experience has played out with how our Solar Array is producing. Our electric bills have been reduced to paying a portion of our Cooperative's facility charges each month ($11 for the last bill). Plain and simple. Energy Concepts delivered on what they said.

We had Energy Concepts LLC install solar panels on our house in 2020. The entire process went so smoothly! They answered all our questions promptly and with kindness. They helped us with the rebates we were eligible for along with getting us a cellular modem for monitoring the system. Our electric bill is $0 or close to it most months. We highly recommend Energy Concepts!

Highest Possible Recommendation

We are extremely impressed with Energy Concepts. They designed and installed a residential solar system that has been functioning perfectly. The system (now in operation for a full year) has exceeded all expectations. Throughout the design and installation process Energy Concepts was consistently professional and they have remained responsive to any questions well after installation. Russel and Claudia represent what we all want from a business, honest and hardworking people who strive for excellence. We thank Energy Concepts for a great experience and give them our highest possible recommendation.

Professional Team!

Energy Concepts was great to work with. Very responsive, and a very well-run cohesive team of professionals who care about their customers and care about their work.

Joe & Mary

We are very pleased with the quality of service and products from Energy Concepts. And, we appreciated the straightforward estimate compared to other bids we received for the project. There was no two-hour presentations, just a straightforward and accurate, "Here's what we recommend for you; here's what the labor will cost and here's what the materials will cost." In just six months our residential system has saved us a lot of money and more than five tons of CO2 emissions. Our grandkids will appreciate these savings, too!

Timely, Knowledgeable, and Professional

Energy Concepts came recommended by our builder. From the moment I contacted them to the last day of hook up they were very helpful and professional in every aspect. They had a technician come out right away and look at the site of our install. We proceeded fairly quickly from there to get everything in order. Any questions I had were answered quickly and with great detail. They worked with our electric company to get every squared away and we didn't even to worry about much on that end. Even on the install our boys were interested in what they were doing and the installers were great about explaining everything to them. A very good experience all around.

Ground Mount 11.2 Kw season adjustable

The entire team was great to work with and flexible to quote changes in the system as I learned more about what was available. I got exactly the system that I wanted, and they even let me dig the trench to save a little money.

Couldn’t be happier!

Five stars for every facet from start to finish. That includes sales, design, engineering, installation and office staff personnel and performance. This whole project has turned out to be better than we expected it to be. The design and engineering is perfectly matched to our larger than average electric usage and the large double ground-mounted arrays are situated well to avoid interfering with our landscaping or wonderful view of our acreage and surrounding countryside. Not only have we reached state-of-the art photoelectric generation, we have gained several new “Energy Concept” friends!

A great team, hard working, dedicated and honest

Energy concepts developed a great plan for our cabin and due to unexpected events beyond their control had to fight through some pretty huge obstacles in this pandemic year. Despite those challenges they completed a beautiful 12 kw project in the expected time frame. Russel is extremely responsive for all questions and concerns.

Rooftop Solar

We had an amazing experience working with Energy Concepts in Hudson, WI. From start to finish, they were detailed and professional in their proposal and explanations. Russel and Claudia were great to work with. They helped us with our Focus on Energy rebate info and did everything they said they were going to. Our panels are beautiful and absorbing tremendous amounts of energy already! We highly recommend Energy Concepts.

Excellent company to work with before, during, and after!

Russ and Claudia were and have been excellent to work with! The installation was quick and timely! I was planning on doing the instal myself but am glad I made the decision to have Energy Concepts do the install!

Great folks to work with

Craig and his team are excellent to work with. They made our solar project possible. They handled the application and acted as a liaison with our utility company, in addition to making the rebate process a breeze. Our array looks fantastic. We're very excited to be generating our own power! I'd recommend Energy Concepts to anyone interested in adding an array.

Energy Concepts was highly professional throughout this project

In 2013 I sought bids for a solar array on my new barn. The two leading contenders were Energy Concepts and another established vendor. The johnnie come lately solar companies that were popping up in 2013 were quickly eliminated. At that time I went with the other vendor because I preferred micro-inverters versus the string inverters bid by Energy Concepts. I was so pleased by the performance of my 2013 solar array that I put out bids to more that double the size of my system in 2019. This time Energy Concepts had the better bid. They were able to get me highly rated panels covered by 25 year warranties at a competitive price. 2019 was a hectic year for installers as the full federal tax credit was in its last year. Tariff issues created other problems. Energy Concepts was able to lock in the panels I wanted and arranged for their timely installation. The owner of Energy Concepts is a highly knowledgeable electrical engineer. He answered all my questions with ease. I highly recommend them. If anyone wants to see my system I'd be happy to show it off.

Professional, Thorough, & Highly Competent

We chose to work with Energy Concepts on this large commercial 30.4 kWh solar array on the roof of our dental office because of their stellar reputation and that of their partner electricians at Steiner Plumbing, Heating, & Electrical. We were thoroughly impressed with the process start to finish. Energy Concepts helped us navigate the Focus on Energy process for submitting a RECIP Competitive Incentive application for the project, which we were awarded thanks to their assistance. The final install of the solar array is perfect. THANK YOU!!

Going solar was a breeze!

We just went solar with Energy Concepts!! Very professional service with exceptionally knowledgeable engineers and staff made our project a priority and got the job done right! They are long time partners with Steiner Plumbing, Electric, Heating inc. who did an amazing job installing our 32 Panasonic HIT 325 kWh panels for us while also upgrading our electrical to underground service. I highly recommend working with Craig Tarr at Energy Concepts and Matt Steiner at Steiner Electric! Our new solar array produces about 1 1/2 times the amount of electricity we consume! So no more electric bill! And in 2 months our system has already offset the equivalent of 5,026.79 lb of CO2 emissions or 126.61 trees planted.

Kindred Farm Solar PV Installation

This was a very positive experience. The entire team -- engineer, office manager, electrician -- was courteous and informative. People showed up when they said they would and kept to the installation timeline, which was exceedingly helpful. Energy Concepts offered excellent support for funding through state and federal programs, an added benefit. We were also pleased with the design elements, efficiency in working through tasks, training on the installed system, and the pleasant communication with everyone involved. We recommend them highly.

Smooth PV Install

Craig and his team at Energy Concepts did a great job. Everything went very smoothly and I would recommend Energy Concepts to anyone that wants a PV system.

Electricity from the Sun!

Thanks to Craig and his team from Energy Concepts for planning, installing and commissioning our PV Array. Craig was very professional when answering our questions. He knows the equipment, the procedures and the people to get a system going. He and his office manager filled out the paperwork and coordinated all the interested parties. It's amazing watching the sun produce electricity! Not that there's much to see...

Customized residential solar with options for growth

Energy Concepts was very receptive to working with me to design a system that meets our total current electric usage and is ready to scale when we add battery storage and/or electric vehicles. They were willing to dig into the details of what new equipment was available and also insured future compatibility.

solar system

Great company! Craig was always available to answer questions and was very straightforward when it came to explain pros and cons of all options. He made everything very clear and easy to understand so that I could make the right choices. Claudia was always extremely punctual in contacting me for any signature needed, update of info, ecc. Their electrician (I am sorry but the name escapes me) was AMAZING: we could barely tell when he was working on the site as he always kept things as quiet as possible. He does some of the neatest job I've ever seen. Definitively a company that I'd recommend

Energy Concepts provides outstanding service.

Energy Concepts is a well-run and professional company. They did an excellent job designing, installing, and completing all of the necessary paperwork for our solar system. We are delighted with our solar system and their installation.

Barn Roof Install in Minnesota

The on-site installer was sensitive to making it an aesthetic installation even more than we were. He offered things that we did not think of like hiding the cutoff switch behind some bushes on the house that required a little more conduit bending and length for the installer. A heavy rain a day or so after some trenching was finished caused a settlement in the trench. I called at 8am and it was fixed by 9am!!!! Very courteous crew all around. Craig was very good at explaining things in the beginning about what I would be getting and what I could expect. Safety is big with their crew. I would recommend Energy Concepts!!!

Garage Roof Mount Install

From the moment we met Craig, he and Energy Concepts became our top pick. He was the most knowledgeable about solar panels, provided us with multiple installation options, and didn't employ high pressure sales tactics. Craig was able to work around our timeline, the final installation looks great and thanks to a solar panel upgrade, we generate a surprising amount of power even on cloudy days.

Residential install

The installation went very well. Craig and his company were very responsive to any questions. The whole experience was very professional.

Comments on installation of 3.92KW Pole MOUNTED Pv Panel System

Energy concept did a great job of installing our pole mounted Solar panels system. It took them less than two days to install system and they coordinated with local utility to get meter installed and on line following pole installation. First day of operation produced 18KW. Additionally, they took great care in minimizing any lawn damage during installation.
