MN Solar and More, LLC

Skip the battery

We contacted MN Solar to install a home solar array and battery backup. After a bit of research and a recommendation from a friend, I chose to go with the SolarEdge system. I liked that it is one of the few systems that wasn't constantly switching from DC to AC and back again with inverters at the panels, between panels and the backup battery, then from the backup battery back to the house. Other than our local utility provider's glacial approval process, the install of the system went well. MN Solar was knowledgeable and professional. The 10kWh battery has been a problem from day one. Once it was installed, a software glitch prevented it from being recognized by the system. MN Solar, did multiple visits to our house and hours on the phone with SolarEdge to diagnosis and fix the problem. It was determined by SolarEdge that our battery wasn't functioning. That was October 2025. Here we are at March 2026 and we still don't have a replacement or any idea when/if one is coming. MN Solar has copied me on the weekly emails asking for updates on the RMA for a tracking number. SolarEdge's response is something to the effect of, "We will be in touch next week with your tracking number." After 6 months of waiting and already paying for a $41k system + battery, my patience is at an end. Now, comes the "fun" of trying to get a refund for this bricked battery sitting in my basement. The app so far has worked most of the time. There have been some bugs a few days with reporting but nothing of note. The array works well. If you are considering SolarEdge, my suggestion is don't get their battery. Everything else is fine.

MN Solar is Golden

We are extremely pleased with the customer-focused service we received from MN Solar. From the initial sales overview, through the many steps - scheduling, installations, inspections, and finally going live, they were with us and responded on the same day to each question. We also had a placement concern that they immediately addressed, and surpassed our expectations.

Great people, great work, great experience!

We worked with MN Solar over two years... But fear not, it was not their fault that the installation took so long, rather our local utility was being difficult, and it took some quality time with the PUC to help them realize that supporting home solar was in everyone's best interest. From initial sales/estimating response, to engineering to walking with us through the long delay, to being ready to move quickly when the project became possible... all our interactions with MN Solar were great. The installers worked around some "old house" issues with skill and the resulting installation looks great. We've had a lot of people stop by and ask about it and we always recommend MN Solar.

Thrilled to have the solar system

MN Solar installed our 6.5 KW solar system with the SolarEdge inverter in the spring (May/June) of 2023. The entire staff and installation crew were outstanding to work with. They knew all the steps/permits needed and took care of all the details. The proposal was competitive and the responsiveness was exceptional. The system performance has been excellent ever since it was turned on. I was especially pleased with MN Solar handling all the interactions with Xcel Energy and being present with either Xcel or the Electrical Inspector was on site.

Extremely happy

MN Solar was the most affordable and easiest to work with installer when he decided to add solar panels to our home. They always responded to our questions and made the entire process seamless. We highly recommend. Our panels have completely eliminated our energy bills. We recently finished paying them off and we'll reach our ROI in a few years, meaning we'll have free energy (and no monthly energy bills) into retirement. One of the best decisions we ever made.

Solar panels

Great savings on electric.

Quick, prompt, and very knowledgeable.

They’re great at communicating, they definitely have ‘done this’ before. They’re great.

Excellent company. Good people

We just passed our one year anniversary of having solar panels placed on our roof with MN Solar. What a great company to work with! We got bids and for exactly the same panels and work, they were considerably less expensive. The work they performed was excellent and everyone was great to work with. Responsive and timely. When we were doing some additional work this summer on our garage and we had a question about power, they responded within an hour to our phone call. We would highly recommend.

The ground crew is very good to work with.

The ground crew do a very good work of the Solar ray. The office people do return phone call when they can. If there is a problem on site of the install they do work with you.

Over all a very good experience.

Top Notch

The company delivered on everything they promised. It is so nice to have the system up and running. The installers were GREAT! They were very respectful of our time and property.

Professional, Easy to work with

The team at MN Solar and More were very informative, prompt, and thorough. They kept us involved and informed throughout the entire process. We are now enjoying our solar panels and reduce energy bills. Thanks MN Solar!

Amazing, Helpful, and Efficient!

We are so glad that we used MN Solar. They gave us a bid, walked us through the options, and helped us find financing. When we had a curve ball due to our HOA, they worked with us so we didn't lose any solar. Once we set the date, they finished, hooked, and we were good to go. My only wish is that we had done this 5 years ago!

Excellence

Very knowledgeable and communicative.

Great job, great support, great price. I recommend MN Solar.

Just completed installation of a large, rooftop system (15.17 kW). MnSolar has been excellent to work with as I had unexpected last minute delays and they worked around my schedule. Turns out I had hail damage on my roof that we found literally a couple of days before scheduled installation - thankfully! Had my roof replaced and then the solar installed. I also got the ‘critter guard’ to keep squirrels and birds out from under the panels (see photos). Seriously, have your insurance company inspect your roof BEFORE you install even if you think it’s fine. MnSolar’s crews were great to work with as was their behind the scene’s staff. Great communication. And their price was excellent! Would definitely recommend them!!

Professional and easy to work with

We had a great experience with MN Solar. They were responsive and very easy to work with throughout the process. We are very happy with our new array!

MN Solar and more installed our Solar Panel system. They were professional and completed the job quickly in order to get us up and running as fast as possible. When we needed them to work with us in a roof replacement they worked seamlessly with the roofers. This is one of the best companies OF ANY SORT that I’ve ever worked with!

Great!

The MN Solar team was outstanding.

The installers were very professional. They answer all my questions for installation and use. The sales staff took the time to explain everything to me in their proposal. I had a question about six months later after installation and received a return. Telephone call the same day and I sent it to request.

100% recommend!

From initial contact, through sales, installation, and service, MN Solar has met and exceeded our expectations. Why choose MN Solar? - Technical competence - our system was not a very straightforward installation. We have provisions for connecting storage batteries (we have not purchased and installed them yet) and that was installed on a last minute change order. They came through that change gracefully and kept the project on track. - Installation cost was better than anyone else’s, in our experience. - They are agile, able to offer assistance, should it be needed, very quickly. - Stability… the same group of people who installed our system has been available to field post installation questions and to service our system. - I have appreciated honest, straightforward, discussions with people at every position in this company. - They are a local business. They strive to maintain their reputation by delivering on their promises. If you want to explore solar, I recommend that you start your search with MN Solar. I am confident you will decide to go with them. You will be as pleased as I have been with every facet of the process.

MN Solar and More is a great company

The entire team did a fantastic job of walking us through several scenarios and helped us make an informed decision. The crew that installed the solar was professional, courteous and cleaned up well. I would highly recommend MN Solar and More.

Fantastic Experience

We contacted a few installers for quotes and ultimately selected MN Solar and More due to their competitive cost to install, the prior positive reviews from previous customers and the fact that they were a local MN company. They kept us updated on every part of the process through the Basecamp app and answered any questions we had. We were impressed with how organized the whole process was. They were onsite for a little more than 2 days and in that time, all materials were delivered, installed and tested. We've been using our solar panels now for a little more than a month and can track our energy production and consumption via an app on our phone(s). When we noticed one panel wasn't performing as well as the others, we contacted MN Solar and they quickly sent someone out to replace the panel at no charge. We would gladly recommend them to anyone intersted in solar energy!

Highly recommend MN Solar & More!

I was working with another highly reputable solar company and almost signed the contract. I decided to get 1 more quote to make sure their equipment and prices were in-line. I sent an email to MN Solar and they scheduled a consultation within a day. I talked with the owner and designer (Kim & Leah), and they put together a proposal that used better materials, was more efficient, fit my roof better, and was about 10% cheaper that the other contractor. I also appreciated that they didn't try to bury excessive "administrative fees" into a low interest loan like the other contractor did. It was clear that they were not just sales people...they actually design the systems and know what they're talking about, so I decided to go with MN Solar. We ran into a hiccup just before the installation began that caused a slight delay. My electrical company (Dakota Electric) was not certain I'd be able to keep my off-peak rates for my off-peak heat pump and EV Charger equipment. Solar was still pretty new to Dakota Electric (May 2021), so I needed verification from Dakota Electric before anything moved forward. Kim, Leah, and their Master Electrician spent many hours with Dakota Electric to ensure everything was set up correctly, and I was able to keep my off-peak rates. The amount of effort they provided was impressive. The entire install took about 5-6 days (it was really hot out so they needed to quit early afternoon to avoid damaging the shingles). The crew that did the install was a really good group of guys. They worked hard and did a great job, but they were also extremely friendly and fun to chat with. MN Solar did great work at a very reasonable price. They took care of all the paperwork and permits, and made the whole process effortless for me. Their customer service and follow up were great too. If you're looking at getting solar installed, make sure you get 2-3 quotes so you can compare costs, equipment, and contractors. Just make sure MN Solar is one of the contractors because they are really good.

MN Solar great experience

We signed up with MN Solar for a large project and then a smaller addition to the original. From start to finish they are fantastic to work with. CEO Kim is reachable and patiently answers all questions. Project manager Leah, Electrician Randy and office staff Bridget are equally exceptional. The installers were friendly and knowledgeable and left the property looking great. The system is doing exactly as promised. We highly recommend this company for your solar! Mike

Great Process

I'm a tough customer - I want a good price, great communication and an excellent product. MN Solar delivered it all and more. I asked for multiple quotes - no problem, had questions - they answered them, my internet didn't hook up with the monitoring program - they kept at it until they found the issue. They also used a drone to design my system which I thought was pretty cool.
