What reviewers said

  • 5★ · around August 2024

    Really helpful and accessible staff -- they spent time with us to ensure we understood everything about install and had all of the materials we needed. They showed us around their shop -- what a great technology! We are looking forward to electricity savings and a nice warm shop on our property. Even better to be able to support a Native-owned and operated business that is creating jobs in a rural area!

    Boozhoo Hello from NE Minnesota! Our family is so grateful to 8th Fire Solar for installing a panel on our old house at my mom's residence. The whole experience and process was seamless and only took 1.5 days. Incredible! Their staff are warm and friendly, and to this day continue to call and check in about how the panel is performing. Chi miigwech / Thank you so much (Ojibwe language) to the 8th Fire crew leading the way in accessible, affordable renewable energy options for our state. An easy 5 stars and 2 thumbs up!

Reviewer names are not published here. Negative reviews are shown first because they are the ones a listing hides, not because they are more representative.

What reviewers keep mentioning

  • helpful staff 2

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

What the company says about itself

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  • Established

    “any day . Our team has been together since 2017, but have been working with our…”

Elsewhere

  • It is also reviewed on Angi. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.
  • It posts on X, Facebook and Instagram. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
