Solar for Woodbury families, businesses & farms.
Local, family-owned solar, battery and EV charging for Woodbury — 4.9 stars, 30-year warranty, the same crew start to finish.
Your neighbors in Woodbury are going solar
Woodbury is one of the cities we end up in most, and it’s not close. Homes in Stonemill Farms and Dancing Waters have been adding panels for a few years now, along with a good number of the older splits and ramblers near Radio Drive and Central Park. iSolar is a family business based in nearby Saint Paul Park, so Woodbury is our backyard. We’re a local crew of Minnesotans, the same family that picks up on the first call is the one standing behind your system in year 30. We’ve walked roofs across nearly every part of this city, from the newer builds out toward the east side to the older streets closer to Bielenberg and Radio Drive, so when we tell you what your roof will actually produce, it’s not a guess pulled off a satellite photo.
Where solar produces best in Woodbury
Woodbury grew fast from the 1990s into the 2020s, and it shows on rooftops. Newer areas like Stonemill Farms and Dancing Waters are full of two-story homes with big, simple south- or west-facing roof planes, exactly the kind of open surface that makes for an efficient array with a clean layout. Older pockets closer to Radio Drive and Central Park tend to have more roof lines, dormers, and taller shade trees, which usually just means more time on the design side working around vents and valleys rather than losing real production. Either way, Woodbury’s flat-to-gently-rolling ground doesn’t create the shading or slope headaches you’d run into closer to the river bluffs.
On a roof with a lot of dormers or a chimney throwing shade across part of the array, we’ll often spec microinverters or power optimizers so one shaded panel doesn’t drag down the whole string. On the bigger lots in some of Woodbury’s newer subdivisions, a ground-mount array is sometimes the better call too, especially if the house itself doesn’t have great south exposure or you’d rather leave the roofline alone.
Solar for every Woodbury property.

Have acreage, a hobby farm or a big lot near Woodbury? Ground-mount solar in full sun can turn unused land into decades of lower energy costs, with farm tax incentives.
Is your Woodbury place a good fit?
We look at what actually drives production in Woodbury (Washington County).
Homes & roofs
Woodbury’s housing stock skews newer than a lot of the east metro, big two-story homes built from the 1990s through the 2020s with simple gable and hip roofs that panel out cleanly. Older homes nearer Radio Drive and Central Park tend to have steeper, more cut-up rooflines, which changes the layout, not the outcome.
Trees & shading
Newer Woodbury subdivisions still have fairly light tree cover since the landscaping hasn’t fully filled in, which usually helps production. Established streets closer to Bielenberg and Central Park have taller, mature trees, we check actual shading on-site with real tools during your visit instead of guessing from a satellite photo.
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 Woodbury system for the full year.
Local power & incentives
Xcel Energy serves every address in Woodbury for electric service. Solar customers here enroll in Xcel’s Solar*Rewards program, which includes net energy metering, so the extra power your system sends back to the grid credits your bill. We handle the Xcel interconnection application and Solar*Rewards enrollment for you.
Local design, honest numbers
We design each Woodbury 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 Woodbury
Pairing storage with solar keeps your Woodbury home or business powered through outages and banks your daytime production for the evening. We size it to what matters most to you.

Frequently asked.
Does solar still work through Minnesota winters in Woodbury?
Yes. Panels actually run more efficiently in the cold, snow slides off the smooth glass, and our honest Woodbury estimates already bake in winter losses. Strong spring-through-fall production more than makes up for the short December days.
Which utility serves Woodbury, and do you handle the paperwork?
Xcel Energy is the utility for every address in Woodbury, the city doesn’t run its own electric utility, and no co-op serves any part of town. Once your system is installed, we submit the interconnection application to Xcel and enroll you in their Solar*Rewards program, which includes net energy metering. You don’t have to call Xcel, dig through their forms, or track down your account number, we handle the utility side of the project from start to finish.
My Woodbury 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 Woodbury 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 Woodbury-area businesses, farms and acreage. Same local family crew.

Can my Woodbury HOA stop me from installing solar panels?
No. Minnesota Statute 500.216 says a homeowners association cannot outright prohibit a roof-mounted solar energy system on a single-family home, even if the covenants don’t mention it. What an HOA can do is set reasonable conditions, require a licensed installer, keep panels from extending past the roof edge, or ask for notice before work starts. We run into this regularly working in Woodbury’s newer HOA-governed developments, so submitting for architectural review alongside the standard city permit is routine for us.
