Solar for Roseville families, businesses & farms.
Local, family-owned solar, battery and EV charging for Roseville — 4.9 stars, 30-year warranty, the same crew start to finish.
Your neighbors in Roseville are going solar
We’ve put panels on roofs in Reservoir Woods, around Lake Owasso, and on the older ramblers near Central Park and Langton Lake. Roseville’s a built-out, inner-ring suburb, most of it went up during the postwar boom after the city incorporated in 1948, so the housing stock is older and more established than what you’ll find further out in the exurbs. That means real trees, real roof pitches, and real questions about what a 60-plus-year-old roof deck can handle before we bolt anything to it. We’re a family crew out of Saint Paul Park, a solid half hour away, not next door, but close enough that we’ve been up and down Snelling and Lexington plenty of times. Every system we design for a Roseville home gets planned around that specific roof and that specific shade pattern, not a copy-paste layout.
Where solar produces best in Roseville
Most of Roseville was built out from the late 1940s through the 1960s and 70s, so you’re mostly looking at ramblers, split-levels, and a good number of two-stories with simpler roof geometry than newer construction, that’s actually good news for solar, since a plain gable or hip roof with south or west exposure gives us a clean, unbroken array instead of a dozen jogs and dormers to design around. A lot of homes near Reservoir Woods and around Lake Owasso still have their original roof decking, so part of our site visit is checking what’s under the shingles, not just what’s on top, before we finalize a layout.
Where a roof’s cut up by dormers, or a big silver maple is shading half the array for part of the day, we’ll usually spec microinverters or power optimizers so one shaded panel doesn’t drag down the whole string’s output. A handful of Roseville lots, especially the larger ones toward the west side of town, have room for a ground-mount instead, which sidesteps the roof-age question entirely and lets us aim the array exactly where the sun actually sits.
Solar for every Roseville property.
Homeowners, businesses and farms in Roseville 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
Roseville 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 Roseville? A ground-mount array in full sun turns unused land into decades of lower energy costs, with farm tax incentives.
Is your Roseville place a good fit?
We look at what actually drives production in Roseville (Ramsey County).
Homes & roofs
Roseville’s housing stock leans older, mostly 1950s-70s ramblers and split-levels with straightforward gable and hip roofs. That simplicity helps: fewer roof jogs mean a cleaner array. We always check attic access and decking condition on a home this age before finalizing a design, since older roofs sometimes need attention before or during install.
Trees & shading
Reservoir Woods, the streets around Lake Owasso, and the older blocks near Central Park all have serious tree canopy, beautiful, but it means shading is the first thing we map on a Roseville site visit. We run satellite and on-site shade analysis to place panels, and choose microinverters when needed, so one shaded corner doesn’t tank total production.
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 Roseville system for the full year.
Local power & incentives
Xcel Energy is the only electric utility in Roseville, no co-op or municipal overlap to navigate. Xcel’s Solar*Rewards program covers the interconnection agreement and net metering for grid-tied systems; we handle that application, plus the city permit paperwork, so you’re not the one on hold with Xcel.
Local design, honest numbers
We design each Roseville 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 Roseville
Pairing storage with solar keeps your Roseville 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 Roseville?
Yes. Panels actually run more efficiently in the cold, snow slides off the smooth glass, and our honest Roseville estimates already bake in winter losses. Strong spring-through-fall production more than makes up for the short December days.
Which utility serves Roseville, and do you handle the paperwork?
Xcel Energy serves every home and business in Roseville, the city sits entirely within Xcel’s Twin Cities metro territory, with no cooperative or municipal utility overlap to worry about. Yes, we handle it: the net metering and interconnection agreement through Xcel’s Solar*Rewards program, plus the City of Roseville’s building and electrical permits, are all part of what we manage before your system gets turned on.
My Roseville 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 Roseville 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 Roseville-area businesses, farms and acreage. Same local family crew.

Does Roseville’s sustainability record change anything about going solar here?
It doesn’t change the permitting process, that still runs through standard Minnesota state building and electrical code plus the City of Roseville’s own permit review. But it says something about the city: Roseville reached Step 5, the highest level in Minnesota’s voluntary GreenStep Cities program, in June 2025, after joining the program back in 2014. That’s a city government that’s been steadily working on energy and sustainability policy for over a decade, which tends to mean fewer surprises at the permit counter.
