Solar PV Systems
Our solar photovoltaic systems convert sunlight into electricity for homes and businesses. Designed for durability and efficiency, these systems reduce utility bills by 50-100% while increasing property value. Backed by 25-30 year warranties, our installations include roof-mounted and ground-mounted options tailored to site-specific energy needs.
Battery Backup
Battery backup systems store solar energy for use during grid outages or high-demand periods. Ideal for critical appliances and medical equipment, these systems provide energy security while integrating with existing solar arrays. We offer scalable solutions with 10-25 year warranties for residential and commercial applications.
EV Charging
Solar-powered EV charging stations reduce vehicle operating costs by up to 75%. Our Level 2 charging solutions deliver 20-30 miles of range per hour while optimizing energy use through smart inverters. Designed for residential and commercial fleets, these systems include grid-tied and off-grid configurations with utility interconnection capabilities.
Commercial Solar
Custom commercial solar systems lower operational costs and meet sustainability goals for businesses and farms. With PACE financing options and 5-10 year payback periods, our installations include large-scale roof mounts and ground arrays. Systems qualify for 30% federal tax credits and utility rebates while providing 30+ years of stable energy pricing.
Residential Solar
Tailored residential solar solutions increase home equity while eliminating electricity bills. Our designs consider roof orientation, shading, and future energy needs like EV charging. Systems include 10-year structural warranties and two-year 'anything happens' coverage, with financing options available for qualifying homeowners.
Questions
How much can I save with solar panels?
Homeowners typically save 50-100% on electricity bills, with systems paying for themselves in 8-12 years. Commercial systems may achieve payback in 5 years with incentives.
What financing options are available?
We offer PACE loans for businesses and farms, plus connect homeowners with solar loans and HELOC options. Federal 30% tax credits and utility rebates also reduce upfront costs.
How long does installation take?
Most residential systems install in 1-3 days. Commercial projects vary by size, with total project timelines from contract to activation typically under six months.
Do solar panels work in winter?
Yes, Minnesota and Wisconsin's sunlight resources make solar viable year-round. Net metering credits excess summer production for winter use, ensuring consistent savings.
What maintenance is required?
Solar systems require minimal maintenance. We offer warranty-covered repairs and recommend professional inspections every 5-10 years to ensure optimal performance.
