We contacted MN Solar to install a home solar array and battery backup. After a bit of research and a recommendation from a friend, I chose to go with the SolarEdge system. I liked that it is one of the few systems that wasn't constantly switching from DC to AC and back again with inverters at the panels, between panels and the backup battery, then from the backup battery back to the house. Other than our local utility provider's glacial approval process, the install of the system went well. MN Solar was knowledgeable and professional. The 10kWh battery has been a problem from day one. Once it

In September of 2020, we started to get quotes for our Solar Array System. We received a few quotes, the most competitive, thorough, and detailed quote was thru Kim at MN Solar and More. Kim presented all the information and without pressure, left everything we needed to make our decision. When we decided, we asked MN Solar to come out and measure the roof and make sure that the system would fit as designed, and they did without a charge. We made arrangements for financing and scheduled the install to be completed by the year’s end, which MN Solar and More was able to do. Our beautiful 44 Cana

We had an outstanding experience with MN Solar from start to finish. They handled absolutely everything—obtaining permits, coordinating the trenching, working with Crow Wing Power, and making the entire process incredibly easy for us. We never felt like we had to chase down answers or figure things out on our own. The entire team was knowledgeable, responsive, and always quick to answer our questions. The installation crew was professional, respectful of our property, and left everything spotless when they were done. You could tell they took pride in their work. Now that our system is producin

They were very fast in installing the system and we had one problem with it and they were right out and fixed it. They are a great company too work with.

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.

Its website also mentions warranty, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.
Elsewhere
- It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau. 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 Facebook and Instagram. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

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.
