Friendly and professional team! Helped navigate Minneapolis and Xcel red tape. We are 3 years in and have had no issues with our rooftop solar.

They won the bid for our solar coop participants. The detailed financial forecast model they ran for us gave us peace of mind about the investment. It showed that it wasn't their "first rodeo" and the install went pretty smooth. They were very responsive about questions and concerns I had and got the necessary permits all lined up. After some production and scheduling delays (which I understand), it appears our array actually overproduced this summer compared to predictions, which I'll take any day!

We worked with the team at ISolar to add 13 additional panels to our system this summer. We're so grateful for Ryan and team's consistent response, competitive pricing and true professionalism. Our install was challenging in some ways in pairing the new array with the original 12 panel array along with an existing Tesla Powerwall, but they made it happen. Thank you ISolar for a job well done! Also, thanks go to Solar United Neighbors for connecting us to ISolar.

Our roof was severely damaged by the recent hailstorm and required replacement. The roofing company needed to have our solar system taken off and put back on so that they could complete the roofing process, but the company that installed our panels was months out in terms of lead time. iSolar to the rescue!Ben, Ryan, and Jason handled the whole thing from start to finish, and were even able to solve some of the nagging problems we had with the system before the roofing project. I cannot recommend these guys strongly enough.iSolar is Awesome!

Dan and Ryan and have been very easy to work with. We were looking for a company to detach and reattach our panels during a roof replacement project. Other companies required that the panels be offline for up to a month, and would take weeks to get on their schedule. iSolar was very flexible and coordinated with the roofing contractor to have crews out so that downtime was less than a week. Would highly recommend them.

3 years later and we are very pleased with iSolar. We haven't had many issues but when we do, we can still call them and get a response immediately.

The staff at iSolar was really easy to work with. They were very honest and quick in the process. The install actually happened ahead of schedule. The pricing was very competitive and they use the best technology available. I would definitely recommend.

Isolar did a great job of figuring out how much solar panels we needed to get the right performance out of our panels and placement on the garage. Only issue was have to take out a $30,000 loan so you have to be in it for the long term to get any financial gain from it. Like to help get new energy source going away from coal and oil. Came out to $190 a month for loan which may be about what our bill would be per month for electric. Summer we get credit since solar produces enough sunlight and winter we pay a little since we don’t see as much sun then. We did receive a tax break of about $8000 the year after we installed. If gas prices keep rising we will definitely be glad we did it.

Update as of December 2023: I have received this year's final numbers and am happy to report that all of my electricity consumption has been covered by solar power. This includes the energy required to power my two Bolt EVs. I will also receive an $800 check for the surplus electricity generated by the iSolar panels. At this point, I am only five years away from ultimately paying off the cost of the solar panels and earning a profit from the electricity they produce. Furthermore, I have already covered the negative environmental impact of installing the panels. It may seem costly initially, but it's worth the investment if you can afford it. I received my federal rebate and got a substantial amount of money back with my 2022 tax return. Dakota Electric's off-peak EV charging is a crucial factor in saving money. It only costs me around $1.50 in electricity to travel 100 miles, and I always start my day with a full tank of electricity. It takes me just 5 seconds to plug in at night, and I don't have to stand outside in the cold. Feel free to get my address from iSolar if you would like to take a look at my set-up in the south metro area of the Twin Cities.Update July 2023:You get what you pay for. iSolar is the best solar company in Minnesota for a reason. Don't let the big companies fool with their fancy publications. This local Twin Cities company should not be overlooked One year after the install, I am able to provide all my electric cost needs and get a check from Dakota electric for over $600. Yes, the electric company paid me. If you remove my Dakota rebate, I still made almost $100. Summary: The cost for electricity in my house and 15,000 miles on the electric car was covered by the solar panels. Thanks to the EV storage rate, I am able to save tons of money each year. The cost of the solar panels will pay for itself in about 6 more years. Keep in mind the savings is a bonus. I wanted solar for the environmental benefits.Original review from 2022: Big company results with a small town feel. I could not be happier with iSolar. They were the only company willing to move my vents and pipes on my south-facing roof to the north side, resulting in two extra panels. 22 panels total. Justin was a great salesperson who answered all my calls immediately, unlike other companies that forced me to leave a message or make an appointment. They have a family feel to them as they work. They pull together when needed and make sure the customer is happy. Justin, the salesperson, was also one who helped with the installation. Your salesperson is also one of the installers. Yes, everyone in the company is hands-on and knows what they are doing. When there are structural needs, they call in Three Rivers Contracting to help. Larry, from Three Rivers, made sure everything looked fantastic. In fact, I will have my shed in my backyard reconstructed using Three Rivers next summer.A 30-year warranty is what sold me. A third party backs it up, so if iSolar goes out of business, you are still covered.They have competitive pricing; I had other companies with lower quotes but picked iSolar because of their excellent customer service and quality work.

The team at iSolar is warm and professional. They installed solar panels on my house 3 years ago and everything is still working great now. They've been responsive and helpful when I've had questions. They explain everything thoroughly and respectfully. If you are at the point where you are choosing a solar company, or even just want more information about your options, I recommend iSolar.

5 STARS!!!!! I didn’t buy my solar installation from iSolar, I called them for help with an inverter problem. I had contacted several other solar companies who took days to call me, iSolar called back within minutes. They were polite and prompt as we worked out a service time and date that worked for me. Their service person arrived ready to work and on time. They were fast, accurate, competent, polite, and thorough at getting my system up and running. If I ever add onto my system or if I need service they will be the first and only company I will consider.

I highly recommend doing your solar project with iSolar. We had a rather large project done on our house. The end result was fantastic. Our project took longer than expected but that was due to Excel Energy. I solar stayed on top of them to keep the project moving along. Once we finally got the approval from Excel Energy, the actual installation only took 2 days. I had a ton of questions along the way and Ryan, and the team from iSolar always took the time to answer them all. I did a lot of research on solar install companies prior to picking iSolar, and iSolar has the best warranty in the business and all the right Hardware that I was looking for. Thank you again iSolar.

I was introduced to iSolar because they were the preferred provider of the local Solar United Neighbors co-op. That they were chosen by the local solar co-op is a good recommendation in itself. And my experience with iSolar was uniformly good — they were always friendly, responsive, and helpful when I had questions about their proposal and the installation. Unfortunately my solar project stalled out at the permitting stage because of difficulties with Xcel Energy’s system,, but I wouldn’t hesitate to use iSolar when I am eventually able to put up solar panels on my home.

We had the Ihles install our solar array in the fall of 2019. We are thoroughly pleased with the product and with their neat and professional job of installation. Over the past three years there have been no problems. It just runs and runs without needing any maintenance of any sort.Our solar array consists of 48 365-watt Longi solar panels, mounted on Omco ground mount solar racking, and 2 SolarEdge SE7600H-US inverters. In the first year of operation, we generated 27,701 kWh.To be even more carbon neutral, we also installed a Waterfurnace 5-ton, Series 7 geothermal heat pump. During the first heating season, the heat pump used 7,178 kWh x $0.10 /kWh = $718 to heat our 3,400 sq. ft. home.Looking at our kWh production and consumption history, in that first year, we sold 20,612 kWh to the power coop, we purchased 10,541 kWh, for a net 10,071 kWh sold to the power coop. In the winter months when there are shorter daylight hours, we purchase more power than we sell. But starting about in February, we sell the Coop more than what we purchase. Since we installed the solar array, we haven’t had to pay any electric or heating bills, and as of the end of 2022, we have a credit of $756 on our electric bill. The solar array provides all our power, including what is needed to heat the house. Going solar is the best purchase we’ve ever made.

After spending a lot of time researching and getting quotes from several companies, we chose iSolar to install our solar panel array. Their customer service and willingness to educate and explain without being pushy and sales oriented was head and shoulders above any of the other companies with whom I spoke. They were always available to answer any questions I had and were pleasant and amazingly efficient during the installation. I highly recommend that you work with them if you are looking to get your own solar panels!

We had a fantastic experience with iSolar - from the sales process through the interconnection, they handled everything quickly and professionally. The process was extremely smooth and went much more quickly than I expected after working in the industry and hearing how slow things can move with utilities. Would highly recommend them for any solar project and will use them again if we ever add storage to our system.

A well deserved review. I was very pleased working with Isolar. Other than signatures the Isoalr team took care of every step of the process from detailed design to permitting, to installation and connection. They were attentive to keeping me updated on every step of the process and educating me along the way. We did run into two issues the first was a major delay of processing on Excel energies side. Isolar worked with Excel on my behalf and kept me updated on the progress. The second was a city ordinance that came up regarding needing to notify neighboring properties and the Isolar team took care of that whole process as well. I was impressed with the professionalism of the installation and the attention to details. Thank you Isolar team.
