The Verdict

iSolar is the installer you call when other companies can't solve the problem. We analyzed nearly a hundred reviews and found zero negative comments about their workmanship or post-installation support. One homeowner needed panels mounted on a barn roof that stumped every other contractor, iSolar figured it out and the system has been overproducing for a year. Another had production issues their original installer refused to fix, iSolar diagnosed and resolved it in days. The standout pattern is long-term reliability. Homeowners three years out report systems still running flawlessly, and 53 reviews mention responsive follow-up, often for warranty work or panel removal during roof replacements. The second distinctive strength is problem-solving during installs. When inspectors flag something or a trench needs digging between a house and detached garage, the crew adapts on-site without delays or change orders. The only recurring delay is Xcel Energy permitting, which reviewers consistently note is beyond iSolar's control.

If you want the cheapest quote, keep shopping. But if you value a 30-year warranty backed by a crew who'll troubleshoot your system years later and coordinate with your roofer when you need shingles replaced, the premium is justified.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Julian Oja
Google | Apr 17, 2025 |

Julian hit a snag when multiple installers balked at mounting a whole-home system on his barn roof. Dan and the iSolar team rolled up their sleeves, engineered a mounting solution, and put up a full-array that has run smoothly for more than a year. Communication stayed excellent through planning and installation, and the system’s first-year production beat the original estimates, leaving him genuinely pleased. The detail that sticks: iSolar solved the tricky barn-mount problem others couldn’t, and the array has delivered better-than-expected output ever since.

2. David Christian
Google | Jun 30, 2022 |

David had a 22-panel system put on his south-facing roof in the south metro of the Twin Cities in 2022, and the story that sold him was simple: the salesperson, Justin, didn’t just sell the system—he climbed on the roof and helped install it. He discovered that iSolar treated the job like a family project: they moved vents and pipes to squeeze in two extra panels, brought in Three Rivers Contracting for structural work so everything looked finished, and kept communication fast and personal instead of forcing voicemail waits and appointments. Within a year the panels were already covering the house’s electricity and the energy for one EV, and Dakota Electric sent him a check for just over $600; even after stripping out a Dakota rebate, he still netted nearly $100. By December 2023 the system was covering all home use plus both of his Bolt EVs, he received an $800 payment for surplus generation, and he had recouped enough of the system’s environmental cost that he felt the installation had paid its ecological debt. He received the federal 30% tax credit through his 2022 return, which helped the numbers, and he credits Dakota Electric’s off‑peak EV charging rate for dramatic running‑

3. Cindy Blomquist
Google | Sep 5, 2024 |

Cindy manages projects for Patriot Homes, and when a customer's roof replacement required the home’s solar array to be removed and reinstalled, she discovered the original installer had gone out of business. After calling every local company — finding many firms closed or unresponsive — she reached out to Isolar, who quickly produced an estimate, scheduled the panel removal to coincide with the roof work, and returned soon after to reinstall the system. The homeowner never had his monitoring activated during the original install, which made the job harder, but Isolar worked around that limitation and still completed the reattach smoothly. When the electric company flagged a production outage, Isolar showed up almost immediately, diagnosed the problem and calculated the homeowner’s actual lost production at $55. Without being asked, they mailed a check for that amount plus an extra $20 for the inconvenience. As a general contractor coordinating many trades, she found Isolar refreshingly reliable — quick, efficient, responsive and punctual — and noticed that Dan, Ian, Jason, Ryan and Michael clearly operate as a well-coordinated team. The detail that stuck with her: they not only got

What You Can Expect

01

1. I Ison
Google | Jun 13, 2025 |

I Ison had panels installed by iSolar about three years ago on his home and discovered the relationship didn’t end at handoff — when he recently needed equipment warranty help, iSolar responded promptly and made the process pleasant. From the start they offered a solid initial consultation, suggested ways to optimize the panel layout, and left tidy conduit runs that still look professional. The installation itself stands up well — no leaks and a clean build — and the consistent, responsive communication over time left him satisfied enough to recommend them. What stuck with him most was the combination of neat workmanship and fast, helpful warranty communications even years after installation.

3. Matt Anderson
Google | Dec 29, 2023 |

Matt joined a Solar United Neighbors group that selected iSolar to install a residential rooftop system. He worked with Ryan from iSolar, who answered questions thoroughly both before and after the install and kept the process straightforward. A few months after signing the paperwork, crews installed the panels and tied them into the grid. The building inspector flagged one small issue, and iSolar corrected it within a few days. The array has performed well for 1.5 years since—what stuck with him was Ryan’s responsiveness and the company’s quick follow-up to the inspector, leaving a quietly reliable system.

Nikolas Winter-Simat worked with the company to put rooftop solar on his Minneapolis home and found the crew both friendly and professional. They navigated Minneapolis permitting and Xcel’s red tape on his behalf, keeping the project moving and removing the usual paperwork headaches. Three years later he has had no issues with the system — it’s run reliably since installation. What stands out is that they handled the regulatory hurdles so he ended up with trouble-free solar rather than a tangle of forms.

2. Patrick Didier
Google | Aug 9, 2023 |

Patrick is three years out from an iSolar installation on his home and remains very pleased. He has encountered only a few issues in that time, and whenever something arose he could call iSolar and get an immediate response. The thing that stuck with him is the company's ongoing responsiveness long after the install — quick help when it matters.

3. Anne Meyers-Welsch
Google | Jul 27, 2023 |

Anne hired iSolar to put solar panels on her ranch-style home three years ago and discovered the system is still working reliably. She valued the team's warm, professional manner and how they walked her through the options and technical details in plain, respectful language. After installation she kept reaching out with questions, and the crew stayed responsive and helpful rather than disappearing once the job was done. What mattered most to her was the combination of clear explanations up front and dependable follow-up afterward — three years on, functioning panels and prompt support when she needed it.

2. Steve Dorr
Google | Nov 20, 2025 |

Steve decided at the last minute in 2025 to finally put solar on his home and solicited several quotes. He landed on iSolar because they took the time to walk through the whole process, showed him how the finished installation would look, and—crucially—committed to completing the job in 2025. Throughout the project he dealt with several iSolar team members; each kept the work moving, the crew delivered top‑notch workmanship, and the system went live just a couple of days ago. Xcel Energy inspectors who performed reviews and the final turn‑up knew the installation team and raised no concerns. The price came in on estimate, and the package includes a 30-year full warranty plus a single company to contact if anything arises. What sticks with him most is that iSolar met the tight timeline and left him with a working system backed by long-term coverage.

3. Steve Morley
Google | Oct 28, 2025 |

Steve Morley spent a long time vetting installers before choosing iSolar for a residential system. He picked them because they laid out options and costs clearly and without a hard sell, and the crew scheduled installation and the functional grid connection earlier than he expected. iSolar handled the Xcel rebate paperwork for him — paperwork he would have found difficult to navigate — and they proactively uncovered and resolved a connection problem with the Enphase inverter monitoring system before he even noticed anything was wrong. He left a five-star rating, and what stuck with him was that the company managed the messy paperwork and caught a technical issue so he didn’t have to chase it down.
