MN Solar and More reviews

Three years after the original install, Joan found herself scrolling through the mySolarEdge app and realizing just how much time had passed since the panels went up on her home. That gap gave the experience some real weight: the purchase and installation had been clearly explained from the start, and the process unfolded exactly the way the team had set it up. What stuck with her most was that nothing felt overpromised or vague; the expectations they laid out held up over time, and the system still made her feel solid about the choice she made and the company that handled it.

Eugene installed a rooftop solar array on his Minnesota home in 2020, and five years on the system has been solidly reliable. He found MN Solar handled the contracting, communication and installation with an unusually smooth, responsive approach, accommodating a couple of special requests without hassle. He arranged financing through MN CEE, and the funding-to-install timeline moved along without surprises. The only hiccup involved the system reporting feed from a third-party vendor; MN Solar stepped in to troubleshoot extensively even though the reporting platform wasn’t theirs, and the vendor eventually fixed a hidden bug. Over five years the array has produced more than 40 MWh for the house and the grid; nearby trees shave some late‑summer output so the payback is slower than ideal, but overall the production has met expectations. What lingered most with him was MN Solar’s hands-on follow-through — from clear contracting to chasing down a third‑party reporting problem — and a five‑year tally of roughly 40 MWh to show for it.

Ken's two-year effort to get solar on his home turned into more of a bureaucratic battle than a contractor problem — the local utility stalled the project until the PUC stepped in to push them toward supporting residential solar. Through that stretch, MN Solar stayed engaged: they answered questions from the initial estimate, moved the engineering forward, and walked with him through the delay so they could jump into action as soon as the utility cleared the way. When installation finally happened, the crew navigated the quirks of an older house with skill, routing around structural issues and leaving an array that looks clean and well-integrated. Neighbors keep stopping by to ask about the panels, and Ken still recommends MN Solar — what he remembers most is their steady communication during the long hold-up and the tidy, problem-solving approach of the installers.

This homeowner chose MN Solar in May/June 2023 to install a 6.5 kW solar array with a SolarEdge inverter. The company presented a competitive proposal, answered questions quickly, and the installation crew handled every permit and logistical detail. MN Solar took charge of communications with Xcel Energy and stayed on site whenever the utility or the electrical inspector arrived, which kept the approval steps moving without extra work for the homeowner. Since the system was switched on they have seen excellent performance. The thing that stood out most was that hands-on presence during inspections and interconnection — it removed the usual headache from the final steps and left them confident in the outcome.

Reg Dunlap has enjoyed five years with an MN Solar-installed system and reports it’s been completely reliable the whole time. He appreciated the company’s professionalism during design and sales, and especially liked that MN Solar is Minnesota-based and uses its own crews rather than subcontractors. He had a detailed conversation with the lead electrician when the city electrical inspector came out, and left reassured after the inspector praised the way MN Solar installs their systems. Financially, the numbers look promising—Reg expects to recover his costs in about five more years—while he’s been using clean solar power every day. The detail that stuck with him most was the inspector’s approval coupled with the in-house installation team, which gave him real confidence in the system.

Lucas Ma had MN Solar install a rooftop system on his home more than two years ago, and the panels are still performing reliably. He worked directly with the owner through the sales process, which kept things personal and straightforward. The installation team showed up prepared and professional, and customer service stayed courteous when he later filed a warranty claim for an electronic control unit — MN Solar followed up and resolved the issue. The hands-on owner involvement combined with dependable post-sale support is the detail that stands out; two years in, steady production and a smooth warranty experience are what he remembers most.

Dave and Stv call installing solar with MN Solar the best decision they ever made. Three years into their system, they still weigh the benefits — the standout being that the panels wipe out their electric bill for about nine months each year. On top of that financial relief, they received the 30% federal tax credit and discovered MN Solar stayed available whenever questions or decisions came up, offering practical advice on getting the most from the array. For them, the real takeaway is concrete: substantial yearly savings driven by months with no bill, plus ongoing support from the installer whenever they need it.

dmc.deltemp signed up for a residential rooftop solar install and appreciated that the company quietly walked them through every piece of paperwork before work began. The crew completed the installation smoothly, and nearly three years later they haven’t had any issues with the system. The only hiccup came from an estimated roof size that missed reality by a few inches; because of code the extra panels ended up on adjacent roof sections rather than the original area, and they hope the measurement tech has improved since. Above all, they liked that there were no follow-on sales calls or unwanted upsells after the job was done — a small but memorable detail alongside almost three years of trouble-free operation.

Kym and her sister share a duplex in Nordeast MPLS. After checking a few solar companies, she and her sister decided about a year and a half ago to go with Mn Solar and had panels installed on both units. Owner Kim Benjamin and her crew carried out a smooth installation. When a fuse recently blew in her unit, Randy the technician came out and fixed it. That hands-on follow-up — a tech arriving and repairing the problem — left her reassured that Mn Solar stands behind its installations.
