Solar for St. Louis Park families, businesses & farms.

Your neighbors in St. Louis Park are going solar

St. Louis Park is an inner-ring suburb with 35 named neighborhoods, and we’ve put solar on roofs here – three installs and counting across the Park. Most of the housing went up fast after World War II: one-and-a-half-story expansion homes and ramblers in Sorenson, Lenox, Oak Hill Park, and Texa-Tonka, built in the late 1940s and 1950s on tidy 40- to 60-foot lots. Fern Hill, Minikahda Vista, and Browndale, closer to the Minneapolis line, run older – 1920s and 30s bungalows and two-story Tudors with steeper pitches. Westwood Hills and Cedar Manor on the west side have larger mid-century homes on bigger lots near the nature center. Brookside and Creekside hug Minnehaha Creek under heavy canopy. We know how these roofs are framed, how the old plank decking holds fasteners, and what the city’s inspectors want to see.

Where solar produces best in St. Louis Park

The best producers in St. Louis Park tend to be the postwar ramblers in Texa-Tonka, Oak Hill Park, Aquila, and Sorenson – simple gable roofs with big uninterrupted planes, and the street trees planted in the 50s are often ash or elm replacements that haven’t overtaken the rooflines yet. Homes laid out on east-west streets pick up clean south-facing planes. Newer two-story infill and the townhomes near the West End and Elmwood also do well, with taller roofs that clear neighboring trees. Fern Hill and Minikahda Vista bungalows can produce strongly too when the main gable faces south, since those steeper pitches sit close to the ideal Minnesota tilt.

The harder lots are the creek neighborhoods – Browndale, Brookside, Creekside – where mature oaks and maples throw real shade. We design around it: microinverters or optimizers on every one of our arrays, so one shaded panel doesn’t drag down the string, and we model shade hour by hour before quoting. On the 1920s Tudors we split arrays across multiple small planes when we have to. St. Louis Park lots are compact, so ground mounts are rarely practical here – the roof is almost always the answer, and we’ll tell you honestly if yours isn’t a good one.
