Exceptional service from a great, local small business

First off, I would encourage EVERYONE considering residential solar to work through the Energysage process. It was so helpful to work with my Enerysage adviser and get unbiased, expert advice from someone who's sole goal is to make sure I had a great experience with my solar project. We've been "on the fence" about rooftop solar for a few years, doing research, etc., and finally decided to go through with it in 2023. We received six bids from local providers in fall 2023. Our project ended up being delayed, because we started the quote process in fall and were hit with a crazy winter tornado and ended up needing a roof replacement. We worked with Energysage to then update and quotes six months later in the spring. Midwest solar had a great quote, top of the line equipment, so many good reviews, and was very responsive to my questions and concerns. There were no pushy sales, attempts to "upsell" or inflate production umbers, just straight forward explanations and prompt customer service. While working with Energysage, we ALSO received three additional quotes from other local providers that were recommended by people we knew. Midwest Solar was STILL the best quote, and Barrett took a great deal of time being patient and explaining everything with us, working through different design options, etc. The contract and agreements were all straightforward and relatively painless. They took care of all the paperwork, permits, rebate forms, etc. The installers and project mrg. Tom, were super friendly, and spent a great deal of time going over structural/roof load issues (we have 100+ year old house) and how to best refine the design to fit our older home. They did a great job with construction, right on schedule, and super friendly and professional, taking time to explain things and walk us through the various construction and electrical elements of the project. After completion, system test was 100%, and a few weeks later we received our permission to energize the system. So far, it's been performing amazingly, even getting a bit more power generation than we expected. Happy to definitely recommend Midwest Solar to anyone considering this option. For anyone considering solar, the equipment choice decision is VERY important, and that's another great benefit of working with Energysage. They know all these systems, the technical details, and are great at helping explain and compare options, as well as reliability and warrantees of the different manufacturers. Our system uses REC 420 panels and the Enphase combiner and inverters. The electrician from Midwest solar warned us that sometimes when Enphase pushes firmware updates at night, the inverters can stop responding. Our system is also connected via WiFi, and he suggested we would be better off if we could route ethernet cable to it, because connection issues can sometimes cause problems with the Enphase system. Well, this is exactly what happened to us, our internet went down, and we lost the connection with the combiner panel (it was still generating, we just lost communications). When you install a system and it goes online, Enphase sees the inverters are installed and pushes firmware updates. Ours got buggy a couple days into operation and we had a wifi connection issue. Tom from Midwest Solar was GREAT and reached out to Enphase and they got our system back up and running in only a couple hours. The Midwest Solar electrician had explained and showed me how to reset the WiFi connection, so I was able to follow his instructions and that was back online in just a few minutes. So, go ahead and take the time to route your ethernet cable BEFORE the installation crew gets there - it'll make your system more robust and life a lot easier.

Great service!

Midwest Solar did an outstanding work. They were in constant communication, explained very clear expectations and showed up on time. Even offered to do some work in advance. There was only one situation where they forgot to mention an alternative, but when brought up they quickly adjusted and honored all the initial benefits and offers. Very professional team and system is working great! Fully recommend.

Timely, Professional, Smart, Local, knowledgeable, and honest.

The title says it all. This is what you are looking for in a company. Right from start Michael at Midwest was professional. I knew that his passion for solar and helping us find what worked for us was his top priority. Midwest Solar cares about their customers and wants to make sure you understand your project every step of the way. This is a turn-key red carpet solar company. The best part is they were local for us, you are supporting families when you choose them. The crew was happy and respectful. During COVID times they were masks properly indoors. They were on time and cleaned up after themselves. You don't expect this level of perfection but they nailed it. Now we can enjoy this system for years to come. We got alpha rec panels because we wanted to spend some extra money on a little higher panel. Other than that I would love to see them continue to do this amazing work well in to the future.

Installation of residential solar system - October, 2020

The entire process from the initial contact through activation of the system was great. Rik of Midwest Solar Power LLC was very thorough and informative during our initial meeting re - the pros and cons of residential solar systems, - the components of solar systems, - sizing a system for our residence, - options among panels and other components and comparative costs - financing the project including federal tax credits - installation process and timeframe Communication was excellent throughout the entire process and the only surprises were beyond the control of MSP The installation was completed within the agreed upon timeframe, and crew was very professional, courteous, and thorough The system has been operational for over a month, and we are very satisfied with the work of MSP, and the products which have been installed

Awesome service

Working with Michael was awesome! He came out to the house to do a thorough evaluation so he could revise the initial estimated configuration to make sure it would be appropriate for our site without it being too big. He answered every dumb question I had and taught me a lot about what solar could and couldn't do for us. After talking with him the first time, I was convinced that Michael was the real deal and not just some sales guy that knew some buzzwords. The entire crew that came out to do the installation was great. Super friendly and easy to talk to when I had more questions. They weren't your typical construction crew that just cleans up the big pieces of trash when they are done. They cleaned up EVERYTHING and I didn't have to do any cleanup! It really helps that they take care of all of the paperwork to get permits, coordinate with Alliant Energy, and file the paperwork to get our rebate from Focus On Energy. Whenever there was paperwork to do, I knew exactly what I needed to do and why. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

Excellent Service

We contracted Midwest Solar after an extensive review of other vendors and their product offerings because of Rik, one of the owners. They took care of all of the permits, had the best solar panels available for the dollar and installed the panels without a hiccup. I strongly recommend Rik and his team for your solar needs.
