Great solar company

Olson Solar was great throughout the process of evaluating our property, keeping us informed, getting needed permits, installation, and follow-up on teaching us about monitoring our new system, and receiving tax rebates. HIGHLY recommend them!

Latest bad review thumbs down

Stressful female | Marathon, Wisconsin | 05/09/2023

Incompetence all around

Worst experience ever! First of all I want to say we were probably very excited to have panels. Basically they never got the correct approvals from out power company to have the panels hooked up on our property even after having us come with $10000 more than the quoted amount. They put up the panels just to have the master electrician come and figure out that we need tons of extras in order to make them work. Owner never took any ownership of the screw up and blamed the power company and proceeded to belittle me for the fact that I was upset with the fact that they lied about the problems for over a month and kept telling us that we were going to have the panels up running every week. And when I called them out and expected answer they told me I stress them out and that they will not talk to me and hung up on me. This was a $70000 project I think I had every reason to be upset and demand answers. We never received an apology for these issues from the owners.

An Excellent Solar Energy Provider Company

I have a new 16 panel ground mounted system and wish to thank Olson Solar Energy for the excellent job they did on my project. They worked with me on both the quantity of solar panels required as well as the variation between roof mount and ground mount systems. Being in a rural area, the ground mount was a better means to get a higher power output from the solar panels. The layout went very well with them and I will also like to commend the installation crew for making some minor adjustments to the grounds around my solar grid to allow for a better layout to provide the highest available light level around all the trees on my property. I am very satisfied with all the professional services Olson Solar Energy provided on this project as well as with the Adams-Columbia Electric Cooperative who got the system activated promptly after finally receiving the delayed site inspection approval by Adams County. I would highly recommend working with Olson Solar Energy on getting a solar panel system designed and installed on your property and feel free to contact me if you wish to view my site or if I can answer any questions on my system.

Excellent Job!

Olson Solar did a great job installing our new solar system. Our project manager kept us abreast of the progress every step of the way and made sure we understood everything. All their installers were efficient getting the system installed in just a few hours, and kept our property clean. Now that it's up and running, it's great to see how much clean energy it's producing and sending back to the power grid. I highly recommend Olson Solar Energy if you're looking to add solar to your home or business! Keep in mind this is a process that takes a few months from beginning to end because of all the steps involved. Our system was connected to the grid within the 4 months we were told to expect, and at about a week in service, everything's looking good!

Amazing team, Highly recommended

I had always found solar really interesting but didn't understand how to do it or the ROI. Olson Solar made it super easy and an extremely painless, fast process. If you're in WI, call these guys first. Reliable and efficient.

Impressed is an understatement

Professional, straight scoop, Worked well with utility and Focus on energy, always there for questions, best price I could find in a very large area by far! They also elevated my arrays so I can drive mower under them...a real plus to me. Microinverters and 2 large arrays totalling 56 panels. Days still short and put out 102KWH yesterday (Jan 27th). Highly recommend them.

Great Company to work with

Working with Olson Solar Energy was amazing from the quote, through installation, and after install when submitting documentation for the energy rebates. They made it easy for me as the homeowner, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend them if you are looking into adding solar to your home.

Olson Solar Energy is Excellent

I am 100% happy with the solar panel energy system installed by Olson Solar Energy. My system was up and running on Feb. 11, 2020. Last year I averaged 12.7 kWh of electrical usage per day, including summer days of heavy AC use. In the first 70 days since my solar panels have been working I have captured on average 15.1 kWh per day. This time of year is suboptimal for solar radiation. Nevertheless, in those 70 days I captured 414 kWh more energy than I have used in my home. The excess runs back to Xcel where I will receive a reimbursement at the end of the year. I have a 14 panel, 4.34 kW system. Because of the size of my roof it initially was going to be 12 panels. After clarification of City of La Crosse ordinances I was able to increase the panels to 14. Because of the limitation of my old electrical meter Olson Solar decided it was best if they installed a new meter. I'm sure this resulted in unexpected hardware and labor costs for Olson. However, I was not charged even a cent for the upgrade. The system communicates with my computer via wi-fi, where you can monitor the performance of the solar panels. It updates every 15 minutes. I enjoy watching the kWh's pile up through out the day, especially on sunny days. Note that currently there is a 26% deduction of the cost of your system on your federal taxes. Also, Focus on Energy awards a $300 rebate per kW of your system (4.34 x 300 = $1300 for mine). Both of these incentives are for the year 2020. I highly recommend installing a solar panel system and I highly recommend Olson Solar Energy. Jeff Boyle

Great value and great service!

Although the owners of Olson Solar Energy are our grandsons, we have seen their dedication to their business first hand as they installed a 10kw ground mount solar panel system in August of 2018 on our rural property in West Salem, WI. Both Cameron and Brandon were extremely professional and worked up several different options for the installation and in the following days as they ensured the system was properly mounted!

Excellent Customer Service

Brandon and Jim installed our roof mount and ground mount arrays and they both did their utmost to make sure we were satisfied with everything. Customer service is a focal point of Olson's and their prices were very competitive.
