Residential solar is one of the most environmentally and financially beneficial home improvements available today. The sun's rays have no operating or maintenance costs so pre-purchasing the next 25+ years of electricity through a solar installation can be both financially and environmentally beneficial.
Commercial solar combines tax credits, accelerated depreciation and energy savings to add value to your company assets and bottom line. In addition to brand and marketing benefits, you'll be enjoying positive cash flow in a matter of 4-8 years! Community solar projects allow consumers to receive solar energy benefits without installing equipment on their roof or property.
Community solar subscribers play a leading role in a statewide effort to integrate solar capacity into our state's energy mix while lowering their carbon intensity and electrical costs. If we plan to be around as long as your system, it is critical to be upfront about performance predictions and return on investment estimates.

TruNorth was great to work with throughout the process of selecting and installing our solar system. TruNorth's sales personnel were informative, but never pushy. We were provided with options that made our selection process easier. I was particularly impressed throughout the installation process. As a construction lawyer, I know that one of the things that sets good contractors apart is good communication with homeowners.

We had a fantastic experience with TruNorth Solar. We gathered quotes from 3-4 different solar companies but found TruNorth to be the best intersection of price and quality compared to the other installers. We were impressed by their willingness to draft several different designs until we landed on one that would work best for our specific situation. The permitting and solar rewards program process wasn't as clear as I would have liked (signing lots of documents without too much information) but I think that is more due to our utility's process rather than TruNorth. In terms of the installation

We were referred to TruNorth Solar by a past client who is a friend of ours, from the beginning we could tell that we were working with professionals. Jeff was very knowledgeable and helpful during our initial meeting which was conducted via Zoom. The team was able to tweak the proposal based on our needs and handled everything from design, coordinating with city & local utilities for inspections, and explained everything to us in detail so we were very confident in our decision to add solar to our new home in Maple Grove. We ended up going with a 9.8 kWh system which is already offsetting our

This will be a longer review than normal, but I can't say enough good about TruNorth Solar. They are fabulous at what they do, they're really pleasant to work with, and they're smart.
Our situation was unusually complicated because we wanted to do a mid-size rooftop solar installation while we were also subscribed to a community solar garden. Jeff Williams, James Drummond, and TruNorth's founder, Marty Morud, worked closely with us and Xcel to determine how that would work. The rooftop system we wanted, combined with our existing solar garden subscription, left us slightly "oversubscribed" by

Very happy with experience with TruNorth Solar. They did a good job scoping the system realistically, the energy production I am getting from the system is in general agreement with what they forecasted I would get. If you have a roof with good sunshine, I highly recommend contacting TruNorth to have them evaluate solar for your property. They are honest from start to finish and have a great quality product/service. I am both pleased with the financial result of installing the solar system and making a significant dent in our household carbon consumption.

We looked at a number of solar companies, and we decided on TruNorth. This company outshone others in service and quality, and through their cooperative buying program in price as well!
They were a true joy to work with. My partner is extremely detail oriented, and he asked every question possible. The team was extremely gracious and quick to respond. The service from every person we interacted with was superb from the installers to the project manager to the salesperson.
We have complete confidence in the work they did not only because it was clear they were dotting every I, but also because

Like all these other customers we had a wonderful experience with TruNorth Solar during every part of the process of adding solar panels to our south Minneapolis house. We also spoke with many providers but chose TruNorth Solar and didn't regret it! Every person we met clearly took a lot of pride in their work and we'd recommend them to anyone!

I moved to a new house just recently and started seeing electricity bills north of $200! I always wanted to go solar, and with the high electricity bill it was a "now or never" moment! I began researching solar energy and solar installers. I received bids with back and forth negotiations on price and changes to the system such as panel type, system size and so forth. I received multiple bids including from TruNorth Solar who were able to provide not only the most competitive bid but also the most professional and easiest to work with set of people from contract negotiation to post installation

TruNorth Solar installed solar panels on our roof in January. They were friendly and easy to work with— excellent project managers and communicators, and they completed the work quickly. We love the app they offer that allows you to track how your panels are producing. We would highly recommend them to others considering solar!

We did a lot of research, got several bids and checked references prior to selecting a solar energy company to install our rooftop system. In the end there was one company that stood out amongst the rest: TruNorth Solar. From the initial meeting to discuss our desire to install a solar solution to the day we flipped the switch and turned the system on, the TruNorth employees we worked with were great. They were all knowledgeable, professional, polite, easy to work with and very responsive by answering our multitude of questions throughout the process. From consulting with us on the viability of

TruNorth Solar assessed our house for solar panels, did site analysis and an engineering plan, helped us apply for electric company incentives, and then installed a 3.6 kwh solar panel array on our roof. Every part of the process was a very positive experience for us. To receive the electric company rebate, we needed to get our application in months before the planned installation. Marty (one of the owners) was very knowledgable about the application process. Once we were approved, TruNorth Solar allowed us to schedule the installation at our convenience. Marty kept us informed throughout the process

Hands down, TruNorth Solar is the best solar installer in Minnesota! We had 8 different installers come out to make a bid and proposal. TruNorth felt right from the very beginning and finished right through to the end. We had several permitting snags and TruNorth was able to navigate the complicated waters of communities who don't quite have a solar friendly policy just yet and get us up and running without further problems. Their team was courteous and professional from planning to paperwork to installation. 6 stars for TruNorth on a 5 star Google rating system... because they're that good!
