Solar for Eagan families, businesses & farms.
Local, family-owned solar, battery and EV charging for Eagan — 4.9 stars, 30-year warranty, the same crew start to finish.
Your neighbors in Eagan are going solar
Eagan homeowners we work with come from all over the city, folks near Blackhawk Park and the Blackhawk Lake subdivisions, families in the Wilderness Run and Thomas Lake area, and newer households in the Cedar Grove district near Highway 13. It’s a big city with a lot of different housing eras packed into one address book, and that means every solar quote here starts a little differently depending on when your subdivision went in and how your roof faces. iSolar is a family business out of Saint Paul Park, about a twenty-minute drive from most of Eagan. We’re not a call center reading a script, we’re the same Minnesota family answering the phone in March who’s still around to answer it in year twenty of your system’s warranty.
See a recent example: a 42-panel system with dual Enphase battery storage we installed in Eagan in January 2024.
Where solar produces best in Eagan
Eagan’s growth mostly happened after I-35E finally punched through in the mid-1980s, so a lot of the city, the Blackhawk, Wilderness, and Thomas Lake subdivisions among them, is built out with roofs that are now old enough to be due for replacement. That’s actually a good moment to add solar, since re-roofing and installing panels at the same time saves you from paying a crew to pull the array back off in ten years. The terrain around Patrick Eagan Park and Lebanon Hills Regional Park on the south side is rolling and wooded, which is great for privacy but means some lots need a real shading study before we size a system, rather than a rooftop that’s obviously wide open like a newer build near Cedar Grove.
On older, tree-covered lots we lean on microinverters or power optimizers so one shaded panel near a mature oak doesn’t drag down the whole array’s output. If your roof geometry is rough, lots of dormers, a steep pitch, or not enough south- or west-facing area, a ground-mount array in the side yard is often the more practical option in Eagan, especially on the larger lots you’ll find toward the edges of town.
Solar for every Eagan property.
Homeowners, businesses and farms in Eagan each get a system — and incentives — built for them.
Homeowners
Cut your electric bill, lock in your rate for decades, and back it with a 30-year warranty. Net metering banks your summer surplus for winter.
Businesses
Eagan has a deep base of offices, retail and industrial sites — exactly where the 30% commercial ITC, depreciation and demand-charge savings add up fast. Roof or ground.
Farms & large lots
Have acreage, a hobby farm or a big lot near Eagan? A ground-mount array in full sun turns unused land into decades of lower energy costs, with farm tax incentives.
Is your Eagan place a good fit?
We look at what actually drives production in Eagan (Dakota County).
Homes & roofs
Most Eagan homes date from the building boom that followed I-35E’s completion in the mid-1980s, so you’ll see a lot of asphalt-shingle roofs from that era now reaching replacement age. Newer construction near Cedar Grove and other infill sites gives us cleaner, more open roof planes to work with.
Trees & shading
Eagan’s older subdivisions, especially those near Patrick Eagan Park and Lebanon Hills Regional Park, tend to have mature tree canopy that shades part of a roof for part of the day. We run a real shading analysis on every quote instead of assuming a south-facing roof is automatically clear.
Sun & seasons
Minnesota produces strong solar spring through fall, and cold, clear winter days are productive too. Snow slides off the smooth panels, and we size every Eagan system for the full year.
Local power & incentives
Most of Eagan is Dakota Electric Association territory, a member-owned co-op that offers a one-time solar rebate plus an ongoing bill credit for the power your system sends back. A slice of northern Eagan is Xcel Energy instead, under their Solar*Rewards program. We confirm which one covers your address before we design anything.
Local design, honest numbers
We design each Eagan system around your roof, shading and real usage — premium Tier-1 panels and Enphase microinverters, installed clean and permitted by the same crew that starts the job. No subcontractors, no inflated production promises.
Battery backup in Eagan
Pairing storage with solar keeps your Eagan home or business powered through outages and banks your daytime production for the evening. We size it to what matters most to you.
Quality work, priced fairly.
You get the equipment, engineering and workmanship you'd expect from the big national installers — delivered by a local, family-owned crew that's here for the long haul. Every system is designed and installed by our own team, permitted and inspected, and backed by a 30-year warranty.

Frequently asked.
Does solar still work through Minnesota winters in Eagan?
Yes. Panels actually run more efficiently in the cold, snow slides off the smooth glass, and our honest Eagan estimates already bake in winter losses. Strong spring-through-fall production more than makes up for the short December days.
Which utility serves Eagan, and do you handle the paperwork?
It depends on your address. Most of Eagan is served by Dakota Electric Association, a member-owned electric cooperative that offers a one-time rebate and an ongoing per-kWh bill credit for solar. A portion of northern Eagan is instead served by Xcel Energy, under its Solar*Rewards program. Yes, we handle it either way, we confirm which utility covers your specific address, file the interconnection agreement, and handle the net metering paperwork so you’re not the one stuck on hold with either company.
My Eagan roof has some shade — can I still go solar?
Often yes. Per-panel microinverters keep your unshaded panels producing even if a tree shades part of the roof, and we map your roof's sun before we design. If shade is heavy, we'll tell you straight and look at a ground-mount where there's room.
Do you do business and farm solar in Eagan too?
Yes — alongside home solar we install commercial systems (with the 30% ITC, depreciation and demand-charge savings) and agricultural or ground-mount solar for Eagan-area businesses, farms and acreage. Same local family crew.

Some Eagan neighborhoods have HOAs, can the association stop me from installing solar panels?
Not outright. Minnesota’s right-to-solar law, in effect since July 2023, prevents homeowners associations from banning rooftop solar outright. An HOA can still set reasonable rules about panel placement, wiring, or how visible the array is from the street, but they can’t refuse you a permit just because they don’t like the look. A number of Eagan’s established subdivisions carry HOA covenants, so if you’re in one, we build the covenant review into your project timeline early instead of finding out about it after your equipment order is placed.
