Solar for Eden Prairie families, businesses & farms.
Local, family-owned solar, battery and EV charging for Eden Prairie — 4.9 stars, 30-year warranty, the same crew start to finish.
Your neighbors in Eden Prairie are going solar
Eden Prairie built out in waves, and you can read the decades on the rooflines. The Preserve and Homeward Hills areas carry a lot of 1970s and 80s split-levels and two-stories, while neighborhoods around Mitchell Lake, Staring Lake, and Boulder Pointe filled in through the 90s with bigger two-story colonials and walkouts. Bearpath and Reeder Ridge run to custom homes on larger lots, and Big Woods and Forest Hills sit under exactly the kind of mature canopy the names suggest. We’ve designed and installed systems on all of these roof types – simple gable ramblers, multi-plane 90s builds, steep custom roofs – so when we look at a house near Round Lake or Bryant Lake we already have a good idea what the shade study and layout will look like before we pull up the satellite view.
Where solar produces best in Eden Prairie
The strongest production in Eden Prairie tends to come from the 1990s and 2000s two-stories in areas like Settlers Ridge and the neighborhoods south of Pioneer Trail, where developers graded out lots and the replacement trees are still short of the ridgelines. Those houses often have big, uncomplicated south- or west-facing roof planes. The 70s and 80s stock in The Preserve and Homeward Hills can do very well too – split-levels usually give you one long clean plane – but tree age matters more there, since forty-year-old maples and oaks are now full height. Lake-lot homes on Riley or Mitchell vary house by house; orientation to the water, not the water itself, decides it.
For the harder lots – Big Woods, Forest Hills, older shaded streets near Staring Lake – we start with an honest shade analysis rather than a sales pitch. Microinverters or optimizers let each panel produce independently, so a chimney shadow or one tall oak doesn’t drag the whole array down. On complex custom roofs like Bearpath we split arrays across multiple planes. Eden Prairie is largely built out, so ground mounts are rare here, but a few larger lots on the southwest edge can support one, and we’ll tell you straight if your roof isn’t the right answer.
Solar for every Eden Prairie property.
Homeowners, businesses and farms in Eden Prairie 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.

Eden Prairie-area businesses stack the 30% ITC, depreciation and demand-charge savings for fast payback — on the roof or on the ground.
Farms & acreage
Eden Prairie-area farms cut costs on irrigation, drying, dairy and the shop with roof, barn or ground-mount solar — plus the 30% ITC, depreciation and current USDA REAP guidance.
Is your Eden Prairie place a good fit?
We look at what actually drives production in Eden Prairie (Hennepin County).
Homes & roofs
Mostly 1970s-2000s suburban stock: split-levels and ramblers in The Preserve and Homeward Hills, larger multi-plane two-stories from the 90s boom, and custom homes in Bearpath and Reeder Ridge. Asphalt shingle dominates, roof pitches are solar-friendly, and many 90s-era roofs are hitting replacement age – a good time to pair reroof and solar.
Trees & shading
Tree cover tracks neighborhood age. Big Woods and Forest Hills are genuinely wooded; 70s-80s areas now have full-height boulevard maples; 90s-2000s subdivisions like Settlers Ridge are still relatively open. Lake lots vary house by house. We run a real shade study on every roof.
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 Eden Prairie system for the full year.
Local power & incentives
Most of Eden Prairie is on Xcel Energy, with some properties toward the southern and southwestern edge served by Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative. Xcel customers can enroll in net metering and programs like Solar*Rewards when funding is open; MVEC has its own interconnection and buyback rules. We confirm your utility on day one and file all interconnection paperwork for you.
Local design, honest numbers
We design each Eden Prairie 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 Eden Prairie
Pairing storage with solar keeps your Eden Prairie 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 Eden Prairie?
Yes. Panels actually run more efficiently in the cold, snow slides off the smooth glass, and our honest Eden Prairie estimates already bake in winter losses. Strong spring-through-fall production more than makes up for the short December days.
Which utility serves Eden Prairie, and do you handle the paperwork?
Most Eden Prairie homes are served by Xcel Energy, but the city lists Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative as serving some properties too, generally toward the southern edge – your bill tells you which. Yes, we handle all of it: the interconnection application, net-metering or co-op buyback enrollment, and any program paperwork like Xcel’s Solar*Rewards. You sign a couple of forms; we do the rest.
My Eden Prairie 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 Eden Prairie 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 Eden Prairie-area businesses, farms and acreage. Same local family crew.

Eden Prairie is a SolSmart Gold city – does that actually make going solar easier here?
It does, in practical ways. Eden Prairie earned SolSmart Gold designation in 2019, which means the city committed to streamlined solar permitting, clear online requirements, and trained inspection staff. In our experience that translates to faster, more predictable permit turnaround than in many metro suburbs – fewer surprise plan-review comments, and inspectors who know what they’re looking at. The city also runs Sustainable Eden Prairie programs and put rooftop solar on its own Community Center, so staff are genuinely familiar with residential systems. We still pull the permit and schedule inspections for you either way.
