MN Solar and More, LLC

We highly recommend MN Solar

My wife and I decided to have solar panels installed last year and got bids from 3 companies. We found MN Solar to be the easiest to work with and had a great product. We are so happy with our choice. MN Solar did a great job of being clear and transparent about the options available and the pricing. They worked with our electric utility and got us all of the incentives available. The installation was done quickly, correctly, and professionally. Now that our solar array is live, we can track our electric production with a phone app. It’s great to be able to see how our system is doing at any time from anywhere. Overall we are extremely pleased with the solar array at our home, and are so glad that we chose MN Solar. We highly recommend MN Solar for your residential solar project.

MNSolar - The only way to go Solar

My experience with MNSolar was positive in every way. The initial consultation done in person in contrast to a detached virtual meeting and that set the tone for the entire experience. This initial contact was more of an informational/educational meeting than a sales pitch and made me feel more comfortable about the decision I was making. MNSolar took care of every aspect of the project including HOA approval, the permits, and all the inspections. Communication was great. They readily answered all questions before the sale, during the project, and continued to do so after the instillation. If there seemed to be a lull in activity you had access to their Basecamp app which identified each member of the team and was the method that the team used to record every activity and could be used by the customer to see this activity and to communicate with individual team members. Projected instillation date was on target. From the moment of the contract all activities were well synchronized. Anyone considering going solar should definitely consult MNSolar before making their final decision.

Excellent company

Fantastic experience. They provided options, and didn't try to steer me toward a certain package, but instead provided appropriate guidance and information so I could make the best decision for me. Price was low. Service was almost perfect... when they started on the work, I wasn't given much of a heads-up. Turns out their entire team was hard at work at the Fair, basically their biggest sales opportunity of the year. They took my feedback sincerely and doubled down on their efforts. All questions and concerns were addressed quickly. The whole process was much quicker than expected. They were flexible when I needed a few days to move money for payments. The panels look amazing!! I'm so glad I didn't have to interact with XCEL at all :)

I wish MN Solar did more than Solar...

I have very few contractors I have used who I would highly recommend to anyone. MN Solar met and exceeded my expectations making adding solar to my house a completely seamless process. MN Solar installed a 5.55kw system on my house, and I couldn't be happier. From the initial contact until the final inspection and final payment, MN Solar showed extreme professionalism. If you are uncertain about how difficult the process is, I would quickly tell you that they make it as seamless as possible.

Great service all around!

We chose MN Solar based on their presentation, their knowledge of solar panel installation and design and other reviews on the internet. From beginning to end, MN Solar was responsive to our questions. They were great about letting us know when they would be out and what they would be doing. In addition, the installation looks good and we have heard from another electrical professional about how well done the install was. All in all, we are very pleased.

Great service and communication

MNSolar was tremendous to work with. From the initial email to them inquiring about Solar to follow up emails three weeks after installation, their communication was great. The installers were friendly, especially to my two young sons that we're asking tons of questions. MNSolar took care of all the necessary permits and communicated with our power company throughout. From start to finish the process was absolutely great!! We highly recommend going with MNSolar.

MN Solar is a great company if your going solar.

The whole process from start to finish was very professional. We met with the owner right away and went over the options. We built our system and the timeframe we wanted for installation. We worked with almost a dozen people during the install. I would highly recommend MN Solar. Lets get the referral process going and tell them Mark B. sent you :)

performing as advertised

Monitoring production since 01/2021. Predicted production to be ~16MWh/yr. On track to produce that amount. Enphase Enlighten allows monitoring of each individual solar panel production in 15 min intervals. Shows production effects of snow coverage and satellite dish shadowing. Installation seamless from MN Solar. Xcel Energy slowed the approval process. 25 warranty on panels and microinverters. No regrets.

Amazing from beginning to end

Very thorough estimate but also basic language. Installation team was very professional. They respected our business. And their cleanup was awesome, like they were never here.

excellent experience

We are extremely pleased with our experience with MN solar. The solar energy generated has exceeded our expectations so far. Installation process went smoothly and on time just as promised. We highly recommend MN solar.

Excellent! Bravo!

Awesome! Whole team was courteous and professional! I have recommended them to all my friends and family! Excellent work and great service after the sale!!!

Happy with Solar

Recommended from a satisfied friend. I was Very happy with the work that MN Solar did installing my solar panels. They worked with me to decide the number of panels that will work best for my needs and get paperwork done quickly so the installation could happen when I wanted. They have been available for continued questions I have had.

Excellent Service and Excellent Product

MNSolar was a recommendation from a neighbor and we could not have been happier with the experience. They helped us every step along the way and all the team (from sales, finance to installation) were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend this team for your solar project!

Always choose local when going solar, MN Solar is local.

If you are lucky enough to have a South facing roof without obstructions and have MN Solar as the installer there is not much in your way to enjoy the benefits of harvesting the power of sun. Local is the way to go with solar installation. It has been a month since our panels were installed by MN Solar and all is going very well. Their approach to their business model is imbedded how the first introduction meeting is carried out, how the process is laid out, how the teams work on site. Competitively priced, very well rounded, professionally executed service. Couldn't be happier to work with MN Solar on this project. Emre Erenler

FEEL THE POWER!

I'm SO happy with the experience we had with MN Solar. They were knowledgeable about current state, federal and utility incentives and made sure that I was taking advantage of every program available to me. Their process was thorough, smooth, and painless from my end. I felt informed of next steps throughout and their installers took the time to talk me through everything any time I had questions. I highly recommend them for your solar installation.

An expert, community-focused, local solar company with a persona

I worked with MN Solar in late 2020 to install at 12.35kW system on my roof in Minneapolis. I did A LOT of research in choosing a solar company and went with MN Solar because they have deep expertise in solar installations on properties like mine, they have totally amazing customer engagement, and are a local solar company with a community focus. MN Solar's pricing was totally transparent and very competitive with other developers I contacted. What really made the difference for me through was the company's willingness to hop on the phone with me multiple times to answer all kinds of questions as I was comparing quotes. Everyone I spoke with knew the ins and outs of solar development. There was no 'referring me to another rep'--everyone there knew everything! In the lead up to the install, MN Solar connected me on their Basecamp platform. This was really cool because it was the communication platform all the crew and office staff used too. There was 100% transparency on how things were going throughout the application, installation, and interconnection process. This is so important because the solar install process involves so much work pulling permits, working with equipment providers, crews, and the utility. Being able to see *every single document* on Basecamp and each step of the process laid out plainly and then get checked off gave me the confidence that MN Solar was working in my interests the entire time. It was also super easy to communicate with the staff during the whole process on Basecamp--they would always return my messages within minutes. During the actual install, the crew was professional and efficient. The crew members were happy to chat and answer questions too. At the beginning of the install, I chatted with the crew manager about how exactly they were planning on installing the panels and we figured out together that we could even squeeze in one more panel. It was so easy to just decide on the spot to do this because he had the expertise to know the steps involved (he knew there was inventory, he knew that we'd need to update the interconnection agreement, and that it wouldn't add any additional labor costs). The final install is gorgeous and I'm super happy with the aesthetics and the performance of the system. MN Solar includes real-time tracking with SolarEdge and it's really fun to track my production in real time. Overall, it was really a fantastic experience working with MN Solar. They are a local company that cares about the community. They really value their customers and I never felt like I was getting the runaround at any point. MN Solar is also a woman owned and managed company and focuses only on sub-40kW installs in the Twin Cities area. I know that if I ever have any issues, they'll have my back. I've already started referring friends their way--even my boss (now there's an endorsement!)

Highly recommended and great communication

In September of 2020, we started to get quotes for our Solar Array System. We received a few quotes, the most competitive, thorough, and detailed quote was thru Kim at MN Solar and More. Kim presented all the information and without pressure, left everything we needed to make our decision. When we decided, we asked MN Solar to come out and measure the roof and make sure that the system would fit as designed, and they did without a charge. We made arrangements for financing and scheduled the install to be completed by the year’s end, which MN Solar and More was able to do. Our beautiful 44 Canadian Solar panels mounted on IronRidge hardware with SolarEdge inverters shines and is completely uniform in looks and functionality. All wiring is completely tucked in our attic and looks fantastic. All of the employees, from the office, the installers, and electricians were easy to communicate and work with, including the uses of the Basecamp app. I highly recommend MN Solar and More for your solar needs! Sydney and Roxanne de Boer

Excellent!

Excellent! Took time to explain and ensure it worked properly!

Very professional and trustworthy company!

We received quotes from multiple solar installation companies, but were very impressed by the experience and attention to detail of Minnesota Solar. Kim was very thorough in explaining our options, and ours was anything but a typical installation. Our solar panel array was optimized by having it far from our house, with many mature trees, a paved driveway and finished landscaping along that route. Every member of the crew was very professional and respectful of our property and us. We had technical glitches and frustrations communicating with Excel Energy, but were very appreciative of Leah's monitoring and assistance in getting everything set to finally provide power to Excel. We felt we were in very capable hands from our first conversation to the end of the project and we highly recommend Minnesota Solar to our friends. It was a big investment which we are glad we made....now we just need to pray for more sun!

Knowledgeable and thoroughly professional

MN Solar's team was very knowledgeable and professional. They kept us informed throughout the process. The installation team was one of the most professional we've seen. Altogether a very good job.

MN Solar Great Job

MN Solar is a medium sized local Twin Cities company. Their proposal was very reasonable on a cost / watt basis. Installers and electricians worked safely on a steep, very tall roof. They kept the work site very clean. There were minor issues that they quickly fixed. They also were very effective in dealing with Minnesota Valley Electric Coop, which speeded the interconnection. Their system is performing flawlessly. Well done.

Very friendly and knowledgeable

Professional and helpful staff

Knows your solar needs so you don't need to!

Purchasing a house in the summer with solar panels and hardware already attached was overwhelming on what I would need to learn. However, with MN Solar and More answering all questions and concerns I feel well protected by this company.

Very professional very knowledgeable

I loved how much they informed me on everything going on and the very professional services they gave me

Excellent Company

I was part of a solar co-op that reviewed several companies and MN Solar and More was the one that we choose.
