Testimonials
You may have heard that designing solar energy systems is not rocket science. In practice, it can take years to learn the fundamental and long term principles of good solar design so it’s simply not as easy as some people pitch it to be. The real test is the outcome which takes years to fully appreciate. Testimonials from our customers whose systems have operated for twenty and thirty years or more are testament to the resiliency of our designs, products and services.
Efficient!
If you want a solar system that works the first time, buy it from Solar Solutions. Looking back, Tim’s knowledge of solar energy far surpasses the other two companies we spoke with. His service work is also excellent. He comes out when he says he will and fixes the problem.
Reliable!
11 years ago, my wife and I bought an island on Lake of the Woods. The island already had a Solar Solutions system on it which the former owner had installed about 10 years before that. So our system has been in operation for over 20 years! Our solar modules are original and we have since upgraded our inverter and batteries. Tim has done a great job providing service and educating us about solar and we highly recommend Solar Solutions to take care of your solar needs!
Savings!
“I was skeptical about solar panels at first, but after doing some research, I decided to give them a try. I am so glad I did! My energy bills have decreased significantly, and I feel good knowing that I am doing my part to reduce my carbon footprint. It’s a win for me and the planet.”
