Its one and two star share is 4 points below the typical installer in the Minneapolis area. Across Minnesota, 35 of the 68 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.

The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 23 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

Each mark is one company we hold in the Minneapolis area whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. Sisu Solar is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

What reviewers said

  • 5★ · around June 2026

    One thing I appreciated was how honest they were about timelines. They told us upfront that permit approval might take longer than expected, and it actually did. Still, they kept communicating regularly instead of disappearing. Once installation started, the team finished everything efficiently and professionally.

    Truly a great experience working with Rickey and his team. Given that solar installation requires drilling through one's roof, I felt reassured that the owner of the company was supervising the install. The team even padded their ladders so that my gutters would not be damaged. Also, Rickey provided the best value for top tier solar equipment. He was also exceptionally patient in answering questions prior to purchase and reviewing all of the available options for rooftop solar.

    We had Sisu install a large rooftop system, 58 panels, with batteries. We are very happy with the result. The owner of Sisu, Erick (Rickey) Sipila was great at guiding us through the various options and was very responsive to our questions.

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

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

Who Google shows alongside them

Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

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.
