WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING…
The customer is always right! It's a true honor and privilege to design and build custom solar power systems for home and business owners. Check out what our long list of satisfied customers have to say about working with our team!
Our experience has been wonderful! We are so happy we made the shift to solar and iSolar was so great to work with at all stages of the process!
Dan and company at iSolar were great to work with throughout our solar project. Communication was top-notch throughout the planning and install process, and even today, over a year later.When other solar providers couldn’t figure out how to mount my desired system on the roof of my barn, iSolar figured it out and it has been working like a dream.Production on our system during the first year was higher than we had estimated it would be and we are thrilled with our whole-home solar array!
Professional and very thorough in follow-up and responses. Their electricians takes time to explain things well and very honest in their pricing. I got an EV Charger installed through them and it was a seamless experience. Thanks to the entire team!
iSolar installed 15 panels on our home, which has a standing seam metal roof. We have been very pleased with their approach, communication, price and the Solar Insure 30 year warranty. Their staff are all very pleasant in our experience. Thanks!
I have to say, the process was incredibly seamless, and working with Phil, John, Ryan, Dan, and Stefan was a pleasure. I was initially quoted a one-day timeframe for the installation of the solar panels, but the entire system was impressively installed in just three hours. The project was completed on time with no extra fees. Isolar provided a quote and stuck to it from start to finish. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to transition to self-sustained electricity!
We're very happy with our solar panel installation! Things were a little spread-out in calendar time, but it never required much active management from me. Communication was clear and punctual, and the install looks great! I'd definitely recommend for anyone looking to get some solar panels installed.
I’m excited to have my iSolar system up and running. From the initial determination of whether or not our site would work, to the proposal to installation, we received great communication about our project from all staff. The installation crew worked in the coldest week of the winter and cleaned up the site each day and when they were done. I’m impresses and pleased.
Wonderfully efficient company. Nate and Stefan helped through each step in the process, installation was a quick process, and I'm enjoying watching how much energy my panels are producing.
iSolar installed an EV charger in our garage. The work required running a line through our finished basement across the full width of our house. They managed this while only cutting two small access holes in the drywall both of which were repaired. Everyone we worked with was great, especially Adam. I would use this company again.
I purchased the Mustang Mac- E in Nov 2024 after Trump was elected knowing that I would expect the Electric Vehicle incentives to go away. I took advantage of the free charger and included installation incentives that Ford offered. Isolar was awarded the bid to install the charger which included running the wire 50 ft from my circuit panel at the back of my house to the garage through a conduit outside of the back wall of the house, then through the basement joist space into the garage. I worked directly with Ryan and his uncle, John (the master electrician) regarding specifying locations to install and fishing the wire through the joist space in frigid 5deg F temperatures. We had to work 15 min outside then warm up our fingers inside for 15 min. I did not hear one complaint about having to work in such cold. I felt Ryan and John and Felipe, their 3rd technician, were very professional and friendly while responding to all my questions and requests. I have no reservations to recommend Isolar for any electrical work.
Ryan took the time to answer my questions and explain the installation process.
Worked with Nate, Dan, and Stefan and completed the whole project from initial estimate to up and running in just about two months. Was smooth process and very responsive team. Got it done before the end of the year so will get the tax deduction this year. Excited to see how it produces.
Like many, I had been looking at solar for a number of years, but didn't take the plunge until this year. I used online tools to get various quotes. Some were good others not so much. I was given iSolar's number from a neighbor who had had iSolar install their system and they had a great experience. Hence, I decided to go with iSolar and am very glad I did. The quote was competitive and the process was not only flawless but was very accelerated from original expectations (just over 2 months from first contact to installation to making money!). Everything was done for me. All I had to do was to sign up with iSolar. I'm looking forward to washing away my electricity bills for the next 30 years and more thanks to the entire iSolar team.
iSolar was great to work with, and they delivered a high-quality installation for a competitive price. They were always very professional, and despite several delays in the project on my end they never made me feel rushed. I have peace of mind knowing that my solar panel installation is backed by a third-party 30 year warranty. I highly recommend iSolar, and I wouldn't change anything if I had to do it all over again (except of course for getting my ducks in a row faster).
Hello, my name is Yeni. I recently had the opportunity to work with iSolar and would rate them 5 stars for their outstanding communication, professionalism, and attention to detail. Every person I interacted with was kind and incredibly helpful. One of the most convenient aspects was that they managed the entire process—I simply provided the necessary documents, and they took care of the rest. While Xcel Energy’s guidelines can be strict regarding timing, iSolar’s team handled everything smoothly, making the experience easy. If you’re considering going solar, they’re the company to hire!
Jon and everyone over at ISolar have been awesome to work with on getting my panels installed and getting me through the different programs offered to me. Jon also knew I needed a new roof from hail damage and informed me of the awesome team at there sibling company Three Rivers Contracting! Everything has gone awesome working with everyone
iSolar installed panels on our house and garage to maximize our solar productivity. They were polite and professional and kept us informed of every step along the way. They addressed our questions and concerns promptly and really made an effort to earn our business through exceptional service. We highly recommend choosing iSolar for adding solar panels to any project!
10stars!!I am a Sr. Project Manager for Patriot Homes, LLC (a general contractor) The solar panels of a customer of mine needed to be removed and reinstalled to facilitate a roof replacement. The original installer had gone out of business, so I contacted Isolar for a bid that I was needing to submit for approval to their insurance carrier prior to our work being done. I also reached out to every single company locally for additional bids and soon found out that half are no longer in business and the other half do not have any one available to speak with when calling and/or don't respond to any attempted communications. Isolar quickly provided me with their estimate and scheduled the removal of the panels and, shortly after our install, they were back in to reattach the system. My homeowner did not have access to his monitoring system as it was never set up during the original install and Isolar was able to work around this even though it obviously made their job more difficult. There was a small issue located by the electric company with the system not producing and Isolar was out almost immediately diagnose the issue and even went so far as to calculate the potential loss to my homeowner ($55) for reimbursement. Without even being asked they are mailing him a check with an additional $20 for the very minor inconvenience caused to the homeowner. If google reviews allowed more stars they would get them from me. As a general contractor there are a lot of moving parts in any project and many subcontractors being coordinated. No one is perfect and work doesn't always go how you hope through all parts of a project, but Isolar is definitely at the top of my list of contractors I have worked with, and I was completely satisfied from start to finish. They are quick, efficient, responsive, punctual, and provided amazing customer service. Dan, Ian, Jason, Ryan, and Michael are a great team and very obviously work together to provide this awesome experience to their customers. They were all a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend using them!!
Andrew and team were the best to work with. Amidst the cheap corporations with sub-par contracting, iSolar are a small group of professionals who rely on quality and word-of-mouth. They are the real deal, work with them!I’ve had my panels for 4 months and no leaks, no breaks, and great production.
I got about 4 bids on solar panels and ended up going with iSolar after contacting their provided references. The solar insure package that's included definitely sweetened the deal, but their presentation was much better than some of the other bigger guys in the area. They listened to me wanting to put panels on my outbuilding, and actually used their software to show me specific spots on my roof and how everything would shake out.They also were the only ones that actually looked at my property and chose the panel location we ended up going with, and so far they're far out producing expectations. Very happy with the service I've gotten from them and would recommend them for sure.
This company provides the BEST customer service and offers outstanding products.My iSolar fan keeps my 40ft container cool and provides excellent airflow.
I was considering putting up solar panels on our house. I called three companies in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and asked them to come to our home to discuss the possibility of installing panels. Two of the three responded to my request. I was extremely impressed with iSolar’s presentation. They were concise, straight forward and eager to be of service. Comparing the two presentations, iSolar was head and shoulders above the other organization. They were clear about the timeline for installation, various products that were available and pricing. It was obvious that they had access to the best products. They also assisted me with the paperwork required by the energy company and followed up to ensure install approval was on track.The iSolar team covered all aspects of the sale and installation of the system, ensuring that we were always kept informed. I can’t say enough good about their professionalism in all aspects of our solar installation and follow up. Our system has been operating flawlessly.You won’t go wrong with iSolar!
I needed our array repaired. The team at iSolar was helpful and kind on the phone. They showed up exactly when they said they would and repaired the array exactly how they said they would. They even followed up afterwards. This is how you run a business!
Could not be happier with this service. Phil spent the time trouble shooting our electrical problem. Instead of replacing the entire system, as was recommended by other companies, the repair ended up being 1/10 of the cost.
We would highly recommend iSolar for your electrical needs. Mike did a fantastic job and is extremely knowledgeable and professional . He did a great job in knowing our needs and how to structure the project. Very diligent and meticulous.Steve and Donna Cavalluzzi
I ended up speaking to Michael Roney with iSolar and am really glad I did. His confidence and work ethic gave me peace of mind that the job would be done right, done well, and done accurately. I'll definitely ask for him at iSolarby name for any future electrical needs/and or networking needs. It was a great experience from start to finish. We hit a few minor snags and I knew he had other commitments but he stayed later than planned to ensure it was completed to our satisfaction. I couldn't have asked for a more calming presence from an electrician during my stress levels. Also, making an appointment and going over the pricing estimates with him was very easy and straightforward.
Very friendly and easy to work with. Responded to my emails and calls in a timely matter. Highly recommend
I participated in a Solar United Neighbors group that chose iSolar as their installer. Ryan from iSolar was great to work with. He answered all my questions thoroughly before and after installation. A few months after the papers were signed, the panels were installed and connected to the grid. The building inspector found one little thing to improve. But iSolar fixed that within a few days and the panels have performed great for 1.5 years now. I would recommend iSolar to anyone.
Friendly and professional team! Helped navigate Minneapolis and Xcel red tape. We are 3 years in and have had no issues with our rooftop solar.
They won the bid for our solar coop participants. The detailed financial forecast model they ran for us gave us peace of mind about the investment. It showed that it wasn't their "first rodeo" and the install went pretty smooth. They were very responsive about questions and concerns I had and got the necessary permits all lined up. After some production and scheduling delays (which I understand), it appears our array actually overproduced this summer compared to predictions, which I'll take any day!
We worked with the team at ISolar to add 13 additional panels to our system this summer. We're so grateful for Ryan and team's consistent response, competitive pricing and true professionalism. Our install was challenging in some ways in pairing the new array with the original 12 panel array along with an existing Tesla Powerwall, but they made it happen. Thank you ISolar for a job well done! Also, thanks go to Solar United Neighbors for connecting us to ISolar.
Our roof was severely damaged by the recent hailstorm and required replacement. The roofing company needed to have our solar system taken off and put back on so that they could complete the roofing process, but the company that installed our panels was months out in terms of lead time. iSolar to the rescue!Ben, Ryan, and Jason handled the whole thing from start to finish, and were even able to solve some of the nagging problems we had with the system before the roofing project. I cannot recommend these guys strongly enough.iSolar is Awesome!
Dan and Ryan and have been very easy to work with. We were looking for a company to detach and reattach our panels during a roof replacement project. Other companies required that the panels be offline for up to a month, and would take weeks to get on their schedule. iSolar was very flexible and coordinated with the roofing contractor to have crews out so that downtime was less than a week. Would highly recommend them.
3 years later and we are very pleased with iSolar. We haven't had many issues but when we do, we can still call them and get a response immediately.
The staff at iSolar was really easy to work with. They were very honest and quick in the process. The install actually happened ahead of schedule. The pricing was very competitive and they use the best technology available. I would definitely recommend.
Isolar did a great job of figuring out how much solar panels we needed to get the right performance out of our panels and placement on the garage. Only issue was have to take out a $30,000 loan so you have to be in it for the long term to get any financial gain from it. Like to help get new energy source going away from coal and oil. Came out to $190 a month for loan which may be about what our bill would be per month for electric. Summer we get credit since solar produces enough sunlight and winter we pay a little since we don’t see as much sun then. We did receive a tax break of about $8000 the year after we installed. If gas prices keep rising we will definitely be glad we did it.
Update as of December 2023: I have received this year's final numbers and am happy to report that all of my electricity consumption has been covered by solar power. This includes the energy required to power my two Bolt EVs. I will also receive an $800 check for the surplus electricity generated by the iSolar panels. At this point, I am only five years away from ultimately paying off the cost of the solar panels and earning a profit from the electricity they produce. Furthermore, I have already covered the negative environmental impact of installing the panels. It may seem costly initially, but it's worth the investment if you can afford it. I received my federal rebate and got a substantial amount of money back with my 2022 tax return. Dakota Electric's off-peak EV charging is a crucial factor in saving money. It only costs me around $1.50 in electricity to travel 100 miles, and I always start my day with a full tank of electricity. It takes me just 5 seconds to plug in at night, and I don't have to stand outside in the cold. Feel free to get my address from iSolar if you would like to take a look at my set-up in the south metro area of the Twin Cities.Update July 2023:You get what you pay for. iSolar is the best solar company in Minnesota for a reason. Don't let the big companies fool with their fancy publications. This local Twin Cities company should not be overlooked One year after the install, I am able to provide all my electric cost needs and get a check from Dakota electric for over $600. Yes, the electric company paid me. If you remove my Dakota rebate, I still made almost $100. Summary: The cost for electricity in my house and 15,000 miles on the electric car was covered by the solar panels. Thanks to the EV storage rate, I am able to save tons of money each year. The cost of the solar panels will pay for itself in about 6 more years. Keep in mind the savings is a bonus. I wanted solar for the environmental benefits.Original review from 2022: Big company results with a small town feel. I could not be happier with iSolar. They were the only company willing to move my vents and pipes on my south-facing roof to the north side, resulting in two extra panels. 22 panels total. Justin was a great salesperson who answered all my calls immediately, unlike other companies that forced me to leave a message or make an appointment. They have a family feel to them as they work. They pull together when needed and make sure the customer is happy. Justin, the salesperson, was also one who helped with the installation. Your salesperson is also one of the installers. Yes, everyone in the company is hands-on and knows what they are doing. When there are structural needs, they call in Three Rivers Contracting to help. Larry, from Three Rivers, made sure everything looked fantastic. In fact, I will have my shed in my backyard reconstructed using Three Rivers next summer.A 30-year warranty is what sold me. A third party backs it up, so if iSolar goes out of business, you are still covered.They have competitive pricing; I had other companies with lower quotes but picked iSolar because of their excellent customer service and quality work.
The team at iSolar is warm and professional. They installed solar panels on my house 3 years ago and everything is still working great now. They've been responsive and helpful when I've had questions. They explain everything thoroughly and respectfully. If you are at the point where you are choosing a solar company, or even just want more information about your options, I recommend iSolar.
5 STARS!!!!! I didn’t buy my solar installation from iSolar, I called them for help with an inverter problem. I had contacted several other solar companies who took days to call me, iSolar called back within minutes. They were polite and prompt as we worked out a service time and date that worked for me. Their service person arrived ready to work and on time. They were fast, accurate, competent, polite, and thorough at getting my system up and running. If I ever add onto my system or if I need service they will be the first and only company I will consider.
I highly recommend doing your solar project with iSolar. We had a rather large project done on our house. The end result was fantastic. Our project took longer than expected but that was due to Excel Energy. I solar stayed on top of them to keep the project moving along. Once we finally got the approval from Excel Energy, the actual installation only took 2 days. I had a ton of questions along the way and Ryan, and the team from iSolar always took the time to answer them all. I did a lot of research on solar install companies prior to picking iSolar, and iSolar has the best warranty in the business and all the right Hardware that I was looking for. Thank you again iSolar.
I was introduced to iSolar because they were the preferred provider of the local Solar United Neighbors co-op. That they were chosen by the local solar co-op is a good recommendation in itself. And my experience with iSolar was uniformly good — they were always friendly, responsive, and helpful when I had questions about their proposal and the installation. Unfortunately my solar project stalled out at the permitting stage because of difficulties with Xcel Energy’s system,, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use iSolar when I am eventually able to put up solar panels on my home.
We had the Ihles install our solar array in the fall of 2019. We are thoroughly pleased with the product and with their neat and professional job of installation. Over the past three years there have been no problems. It just runs and runs without needing any maintenance of any sort.Our solar array consists of 48 365-watt Longi solar panels, mounted on Omco ground mount solar racking, and 2 SolarEdge SE7600H-US inverters. In the first year of operation, we generated 27,701 kWh.To be even more carbon neutral, we also installed a Waterfurnace 5-ton, Series 7 geothermal heat pump. During the first heating season, the heat pump used 7,178 kWh x $0.10 /kWh = $718 to heat our 3,400 sq. ft. home.Looking at our kWh production and consumption history, in that first year, we sold 20,612 kWh to the power coop, we purchased 10,541 kWh, for a net 10,071 kWh sold to the power coop. In the winter months when there are shorter daylight hours, we purchase more power than we sell. But starting about in February, we sell the Coop more than what we purchase. Since we installed the solar array, we haven’t had to pay any electric or heating bills, and as of the end of 2022, we have a credit of $756 on our electric bill. The solar array provides all our power, including what is needed to heat the house. Going solar is the best purchase we’ve ever made.
After spending a lot of time researching and getting quotes from several companies, we chose iSolar to install our solar panel array. Their customer service and willingness to educate and explain without being pushy and sales oriented was head and shoulders above any of the other companies with whom I spoke. They were always available to answer any questions I had and were pleasant and amazingly efficient during the installation. I highly recommend that you work with them if you are looking to get your own solar panels!
We had a fantastic experience with iSolar - from the sales process through the interconnection, they handled everything quickly and professionally. The process was extremely smooth and went much more quickly than I expected after working in the industry and hearing how slow things can move with utilities. Would highly recommend them for any solar project and will use them again if we ever add storage to our system.
The whole crew at iSolar did a great job installing my 7.5Kw system. They were fast, clean, professional and very reasonably priced! Thanks guys for your great work!
iSolar installed our panels 10 months ago & we have had nothing but good experiences with them. I have emailed a few times with questions & always received a quick, honest, logical, and respectful response.The installers were quick, kind, and clean. I highly recommend iSolar.
A well deserved review. I was very pleased working with Isolar. Other than signatures the Isoalr team took care of every step of the process from detailed design to permitting, to installation and connection. They were attentive to keeping me updated on every step of the process and educating me along the way. We did run into two issues the first was a major delay of processing on Excel energies side. Isolar worked with Excel on my behalf and kept me updated on the progress. The second was a city ordinance that came up regarding needing to notify neighboring properties and the Isolar team took care of that whole process as well. I was impressed with the professionalism of the installation and the attention to details. Thank you Isolar team.
Great team and good communication.I knew I wanted a local solar installer, and I am glad to have found Ryan and his team at iSolar.Jeremy
Going solar was something I always wanted to do and iSolar made it a wonderful experience. I met with several solar providers but iSolar offered the best price. At no time in the process did I feel like I was pressured to purchase or locked into an agreement. That was very important to me. My sales rep., Justin, answered all my questions and concerns. He responded promptly to my emails, even at odd times of the day. I was kept informed of the process with Xcel Energy. Ryan explained the process clearly from application and to installations. He guided me through the software used to monitor my power generation. Once approved, the handover to the installers was smooth. They were on time and cleaned up once they were done. Excellent job!
We had a very positive experience with the professionals at iSolar. In what can be a very complex and major financial decision for a homeowner, they walk you through step by step very well. From their initial proposal which clearly stated all of the details, to the signing of documents with the utility, to the excitement of "going live" and watching it work on the mobile app it was a great investment in our property. Highly recommend the iSolar Team!
We did a 22 panel project on our house earlier this year and could not be happier! Isolar did an amazing job walking us through every step of the way! We have been really surprised at how well solar produces here in MN. Would definitely recommend these guys they were awesome!
From the first meeting to installation and follow-up, our experience with the iSolar team was fantastic. The installers were polite and respectful. They clearly knew what they were doing. We were given updates and reminders as the process moved forward. Everything was up and running as they had described. We couldn’t be happier.
Had solar installed on my roof in Minneapolis in fall of '20. ISolar did a great job and had better pricing then the 3 other quotes I got. Justin was great to work with!
Our experience has been wonderful! We are so happy we made the shift to solar and iSolar was so great to work with at all stages of the process!

While Xcel Energy’s guidelines can be strict regarding timing, iSolar’s team handled everything smoothly, making the experience easy. If you’re considering going solar, they’re the company to hire!
Jon and everyone over at ISolar have been awesome to work with on getting my panels installed and getting me through the different programs offered to me. Jon also knew I needed a new roof from hail damage and informed me of the awesome team at there sibling company Three Rivers Contracting! Everything has gone awesome working with everyone
iSolar installed panels on our house and garage to maximize our solar productivity. They were polite and professional and kept us informed of every step along the way. They addressed our questions and concerns promptly and really made an effort to earn our business through exceptional service. We highly recommend choosing iSolar for adding solar panels to any project!
10stars!!I am a Sr. Project Manager for Patriot Homes, LLC (a general contractor) The solar panels of a customer of mine needed to be removed and reinstalled to facilitate a roof replacement. The original installer had gone out of business, so I contacted Isolar for a bid that I was needing to submit for approval to their insurance carrier prior to our work being done. I also reached out to every single company locally for additional bids and soon found out that half are no longer in business and the other half do not have any one available to speak with when calling and/or don't respond to any attempted communications. Isolar quickly provided me with their estimate and scheduled the removal of the panels and, shortly after our install, they were back in to reattach the system. My homeowner did not have access to his monitoring system as it was never set up during the original install and Isolar was able to work around this even though it obviously made their job more difficult. There was a small issue located by the electric company with the system not producing and Isolar was out almost immediately diagnose the issue and even went so far as to calculate the potential loss to my homeowner ($55) for reimbursement. Without even being asked they are mailing him a check with an additional $20 for the very minor inconvenience caused to the homeowner. If google reviews allowed more stars they would get them from me. As a general contractor there are a lot of moving parts in any project and many subcontractors being coordinated. No one is perfect and work doesn't always go how you hope through all parts of a project, but Isolar is definitely at the top of my list of contractors I have worked with, and I was completely satisfied from start to finish. They are quick, efficient, responsive, punctual, and provided amazing customer service. Dan, Ian, Jason, Ryan, and Michael are a great team and very obviously work together to provide this awesome experience to their customers. They were all a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend using them!!
Andrew and team were the best to work with. Amidst the cheap corporations with sub-par contracting, iSolar are a small group of professionals who rely on quality and word-of-mouth. They are the real deal, work with them!I’ve had my panels for 4 months and no leaks, no breaks, and great production.
I got about 4 bids on solar panels and ended up going with iSolar after contacting their provided references. The solar insure package that's included definitely sweetened the deal, but their presentation was much better than some of the other bigger guys in the area. They listened to me wanting to put panels on my outbuilding, and actually used their software to show me specific spots on my roof and how everything would shake out.They also were the only ones that actually looked at my property and chose the panel location we ended up going with, and so far they're far out producing expectations. Very happy with the service I've gotten from them and would recommend them for sure.
This company provides the BEST customer service and offers outstanding products.My iSolar fan keeps my 40ft container cool and provides excellent airflow.
I was considering putting up solar panels on our house. I called three companies in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and asked them to come to our home to discuss the possibility of installing panels. Two of the three responded to my request. I was extremely impressed with iSolar’s presentation. They were concise, straight forward and eager to be of service. Comparing the two presentations, iSolar was head and shoulders above the other organization. They were clear about the timeline for installation, various products that were available and pricing. It was obvious that they had access to the best products. They also assisted me with the paperwork required by the energy company and followed up to ensure install approval was on track.The iSolar team covered all aspects of the sale and installation of the system, ensuring that we were always kept informed. I can’t say enough good about their professionalism in all aspects of our solar installation and follow up. Our system has been operating flawlessly.You won’t go wrong with iSolar!
I needed our array repaired. The team at iSolar was helpful and kind on the phone. They showed up exactly when they said they would and repaired the array exactly how they said they would. They even followed up afterwards. This is how you run a business!
Could not be happier with this service. Phil spent the time trouble shooting our electrical problem. Instead of replacing the entire system, as was recommended by other companies, the repair ended up being 1/10 of the cost.
We would highly recommend iSolar for your electrical needs. Mike did a fantastic job and is extremely knowledgeable and professional . He did a great job in knowing our needs and how to structure the project. Very diligent and meticulous.Steve and Donna Cavalluzzi
I ended up speaking to Michael Roney with iSolar and am really glad I did. His confidence and work ethic gave me peace of mind that the job would be done right, done well, and done accurately. I'll definitely ask for him at iSolarby name for any future electrical needs/and or networking needs. It was a great experience from start to finish. We hit a few minor snags and I knew he had other commitments but he stayed later than planned to ensure it was completed to our satisfaction. I couldn't have asked for a more calming presence from an electrician during my stress levels. Also, making an appointment and going over the pricing estimates with him was very easy and straightforward.
Very friendly and easy to work with. Responded to my emails and calls in a timely matter. Highly recommend
I participated in a Solar United Neighbors group that chose iSolar as their installer. Ryan from iSolar was great to work with. He answered all my questions thoroughly before and after installation. A few months after the papers were signed, the panels were installed and connected to the grid. The building inspector found one little thing to improve. But iSolar fixed that within a few days and the panels have performed great for 1.5 years now. I would recommend iSolar to anyone.
Friendly and professional team! Helped navigate Minneapolis and Xcel red tape. We are 3 years in and have had no issues with our rooftop solar.
They won the bid for our solar coop participants. The detailed financial forecast model they ran for us gave us peace of mind about the investment. It showed that it wasn't their "first rodeo" and the install went pretty smooth. They were very responsive about questions and concerns I had and got the necessary permits all lined up. After some production and scheduling delays (which I understand), it appears our array actually overproduced this summer compared to predictions, which I'll take any day!
We worked with the team at ISolar to add 13 additional panels to our system this summer. We're so grateful for Ryan and team's consistent response, competitive pricing and true professionalism. Our install was challenging in some ways in pairing the new array with the original 12 panel array along with an existing Tesla Powerwall, but they made it happen. Thank you ISolar for a job well done! Also, thanks go to Solar United Neighbors for connecting us to ISolar.
Our roof was severely damaged by the recent hailstorm and required replacement. The roofing company needed to have our solar system taken off and put back on so that they could complete the roofing process, but the company that installed our panels was months out in terms of lead time. iSolar to the rescue!Ben, Ryan, and Jason handled the whole thing from start to finish, and were even able to solve some of the nagging problems we had with the system before the roofing project. I cannot recommend these guys strongly enough.iSolar is Awesome!
Dan and Ryan and have been very easy to work with. We were looking for a company to detach and reattach our panels during a roof replacement project. Other companies required that the panels be offline for up to a month, and would take weeks to get on their schedule. iSolar was very flexible and coordinated with the roofing contractor to have crews out so that downtime was less than a week. Would highly recommend them.
3 years later and we are very pleased with iSolar. We haven't had many issues but when we do, we can still call them and get a response immediately.
The staff at iSolar was really easy to work with. They were very honest and quick in the process. The install actually happened ahead of schedule. The pricing was very competitive and they use the best technology available. I would definitely recommend.
Isolar did a great job of figuring out how much solar panels we needed to get the right performance out of our panels and placement on the garage. Only issue was have to take out a $30,000 loan so you have to be in it for the long term to get any financial gain from it. Like to help get new energy source going away from coal and oil. Came out to $190 a month for loan which may be about what our bill would be per month for electric. Summer we get credit since solar produces enough sunlight and winter we pay a little since we don’t see as much sun then. We did receive a tax break of about $8000 the year after we installed. If gas prices keep rising we will definitely be glad we did it.
Update as of December 2023: I have received this year's final numbers and am happy to report that all of my electricity consumption has been covered by solar power. This includes the energy required to power my two Bolt EVs. I will also receive an $800 check for the surplus electricity generated by the iSolar panels. At this point, I am only five years away from ultimately paying off the cost of the solar panels and earning a profit from the electricity they produce. Furthermore, I have already covered the negative environmental impact of installing the panels. It may seem costly initially, but it's worth the investment if you can afford it. I received my federal rebate and got a substantial amount of money back with my 2022 tax return. Dakota Electric's off-peak EV charging is a crucial factor in saving money. It only costs me around $1.50 in electricity to travel 100 miles, and I always start my day with a full tank of electricity. It takes me just 5 seconds to plug in at night, and I don't have to stand outside in the cold. Feel free to get my address from iSolar if you would like to take a look at my set-up in the south metro area of the Twin Cities.Update July 2023:You get what you pay for. iSolar is the best solar company in Minnesota for a reason. Don't let the big companies fool with their fancy publications. This local Twin Cities company should not be overlooked One year after the install, I am able to provide all my electric cost needs and get a check from Dakota electric for over $600. Yes, the electric company paid me. If you remove my Dakota rebate, I still made almost $100. Summary: The cost for electricity in my house and 15,000 miles on the electric car was covered by the solar panels. Thanks to the EV storage rate, I am able to save tons of money each year. The cost of the solar panels will pay for itself in about 6 more years. Keep in mind the savings is a bonus. I wanted solar for the environmental benefits.Original review from 2022: Big company results with a small town feel. I could not be happier with iSolar. They were the only company willing to move my vents and pipes on my south-facing roof to the north side, resulting in two extra panels. 22 panels total. Justin was a great salesperson who answered all my calls immediately, unlike other companies that forced me to leave a message or make an appointment. They have a family feel to them as they work. They pull together when needed and make sure the customer is happy. Justin, the salesperson, was also one who helped with the installation. Your salesperson is also one of the installers. Yes, everyone in the company is hands-on and knows what they are doing. When there are structural needs, they call in Three Rivers Contracting to help. Larry, from Three Rivers, made sure everything looked fantastic. In fact, I will have my shed in my backyard reconstructed using Three Rivers next summer.A 30-year warranty is what sold me. A third party backs it up, so if iSolar goes out of business, you are still covered.They have competitive pricing; I had other companies with lower quotes but picked iSolar because of their excellent customer service and quality work.
The team at iSolar is warm and professional. They installed solar panels on my house 3 years ago and everything is still working great now. They've been responsive and helpful when I've had questions. They explain everything thoroughly and respectfully. If you are at the point where you are choosing a solar company, or even just want more information about your options, I recommend iSolar.
5 STARS!!!!! I didn’t buy my solar installation from iSolar, I called them for help with an inverter problem. I had contacted several other solar companies who took days to call me, iSolar called back within minutes. They were polite and prompt as we worked out a service time and date that worked for me. Their service person arrived ready to work and on time. They were fast, accurate, competent, polite, and thorough at getting my system up and running. If I ever add onto my system or if I need service they will be the first and only company I will consider.
I highly recommend doing your solar project with iSolar. We had a rather large project done on our house. The end result was fantastic. Our project took longer than expected but that was due to Excel Energy. I solar stayed on top of them to keep the project moving along. Once we finally got the approval from Excel Energy, the actual installation only took 2 days. I had a ton of questions along the way and Ryan, and the team from iSolar always took the time to answer them all. I did a lot of research on solar install companies prior to picking iSolar, and iSolar has the best warranty in the business and all the right Hardware that I was looking for. Thank you again iSolar.
I was introduced to iSolar because they were the preferred provider of the local Solar United Neighbors co-op. That they were chosen by the local solar co-op is a good recommendation in itself. And my experience with iSolar was uniformly good — they were always friendly, responsive, and helpful when I had questions about their proposal and the installation. Unfortunately my solar project stalled out at the permitting stage because of difficulties with Xcel Energy’s system,, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use iSolar when I am eventually able to put up solar panels on my home.
We had the Ihles install our solar array in the fall of 2019. We are thoroughly pleased with the product and with their neat and professional job of installation. Over the past three years there have been no problems. It just runs and runs without needing any maintenance of any sort.Our solar array consists of 48 365-watt Longi solar panels, mounted on Omco ground mount solar racking, and 2 SolarEdge SE7600H-US inverters. In the first year of operation, we generated 27,701 kWh.To be even more carbon neutral, we also installed a Waterfurnace 5-ton, Series 7 geothermal heat pump. During the first heating season, the heat pump used 7,178 kWh x $0.10 /kWh = $718 to heat our 3,400 sq. ft. home.Looking at our kWh production and consumption history, in that first year, we sold 20,612 kWh to the power coop, we purchased 10,541 kWh, for a net 10,071 kWh sold to the power coop. In the winter months when there are shorter daylight hours, we purchase more power than we sell. But starting about in February, we sell the Coop more than what we purchase. Since we installed the solar array, we haven’t had to pay any electric or heating bills, and as of the end of 2022, we have a credit of $756 on our electric bill. The solar array provides all our power, including what is needed to heat the house. Going solar is the best purchase we’ve ever made.
After spending a lot of time researching and getting quotes from several companies, we chose iSolar to install our solar panel array. Their customer service and willingness to educate and explain without being pushy and sales oriented was head and shoulders above any of the other companies with whom I spoke. They were always available to answer any questions I had and were pleasant and amazingly efficient during the installation. I highly recommend that you work with them if you are looking to get your own solar panels!
We had a fantastic experience with iSolar - from the sales process through the interconnection, they handled everything quickly and professionally. The process was extremely smooth and went much more quickly than I expected after working in the industry and hearing how slow things can move with utilities. Would highly recommend them for any solar project and will use them again if we ever add storage to our system.
The whole crew at iSolar did a great job installing my 7.5Kw system. They were fast, clean, professional and very reasonably priced! Thanks guys for your great work!
iSolar installed our panels 10 months ago & we have had nothing but good experiences with them. I have emailed a few times with questions & always received a quick, honest, logical, and respectful response.The installers were quick, kind, and clean. I highly recommend iSolar.
A well deserved review. I was very pleased working with Isolar. Other than signatures the Isoalr team took care of every step of the process from detailed design to permitting, to installation and connection. They were attentive to keeping me updated on every step of the process and educating me along the way. We did run into two issues the first was a major delay of processing on Excel energies side. Isolar worked with Excel on my behalf and kept me updated on the progress. The second was a city ordinance that came up regarding needing to notify neighboring properties and the Isolar team took care of that whole process as well. I was impressed with the professionalism of the installation and the attention to details. Thank you Isolar team.
Great team and good communication.I knew I wanted a local solar installer, and I am glad to have found Ryan and his team at iSolar.Jeremy
Going solar was something I always wanted to do and iSolar made it a wonderful experience. I met with several solar providers but iSolar offered the best price. At no time in the process did I feel like I was pressured to purchase or locked into an agreement. That was very important to me. My sales rep., Justin, answered all my questions and concerns. He responded promptly to my emails, even at odd times of the day. I was kept informed of the process with Xcel Energy. Ryan explained the process clearly from application and to installations. He guided me through the software used to monitor my power generation. Once approved, the handover to the installers was smooth. They were on time and cleaned up once they were done. Excellent job!
We had a very positive experience with the professionals at iSolar. In what can be a very complex and major financial decision for a homeowner, they walk you through step by step very well. From their initial proposal which clearly stated all of the details, to the signing of documents with the utility, to the excitement of "going live" and watching it work on the mobile app it was a great investment in our property. Highly recommend the iSolar Team!
We did a 22 panel project on our house earlier this year and could not be happier! Isolar did an amazing job walking us through every step of the way! We have been really surprised at how well solar produces here in MN. Would definitely recommend these guys they were awesome!
From the first meeting to installation and follow-up, our experience with the iSolar team was fantastic. The installers were polite and respectful. They clearly knew what they were doing. We were given updates and reminders as the process moved forward. Everything was up and running as they had described. We couldn’t be happier.
Had solar installed on my roof in Minneapolis in fall of '20. ISolar did a great job and had better pricing then the 3 other quotes I got. Justin was great to work with!
