"Let me tell you about my journey to get solar panels installed at my house. We started several years ago thinking about solar and possibly having panels installed on our house. Unfortunately, our house is not a good candidate because of the number of trees we have. We were quite disappointed and shelved the idea. During this past Spring we talked to several local businesses about solar panel installation and started researching again. We decided to see if we could do an in-yard system and it seemed like it was possible. After more exploration we met one of the owners of Champion Solar of Winona, MN. During our conversation with him we decided to explore a design for our backyard. We also talked to a neighbor who has a roof mounted system from Champion Solar. After some consideration we thought Champion Solar would work for us and signed the contract. I am very happy with Champion Solar and the service they provided. The installation process was smooth and the employees were very knowledgeable and helpful. The solar arrays are working great and I am starting to save money on my electricity bill. I would highly recommend Champion Solar to anyone considering solar panels. Here is what impressed me with the entire process of getting my in-ground solar array installed: * Knowledgeable and helpful employees. From the owner, project manager, foreman, master electrician, site engineer, they all worked together as a team and there was no job too big nor too small for any of them to contribute *The team went the extra mile and let two young boys, neighbor children (5 and 8 years old), help during one day of the project. The boys even ate lunch in our yard with the team. And at the end of the project they wrote each boy a very nice thank you card * Design process was easy and it did not take too many iterations to achieve an appropriate sized system that maximized our arrays, while accommodating our electric companyâ s needs, and getting us the maximum rebate. We have two arrays, one facing south (16 panels) and one facing southwest (10 panels) * The price was good and they guided us through tax credits and rebates * They worked through all approval processes to get the job okayed and started * They worked fast requiring four days of work to build the rack system for the panels, do the electrical work for the interconnection, trench the yard for the power lines etc., install the panels and micro-inverters, and finishing work * Smooth installation process plus the team was present for inspections and the interconnection to the electrical coop * Solar arrays are working great and I am starting to save money on the electricity bill Overall, I am very happy with Champion Solar and the service they provided. I would highly recommend them to anyone considering solar panels."

"They've been through here on several occasions.  We had our water heater die, so they did the water heater and they hooked it up and everything, and they sent the same guy again.  When we bought the water heater we got a couple of quotes.  We really, really liked the guy who came in and he also installed, but we were real impressed.  We really liked the guy we worked with; I mean he was really knowledgeable, you could tell he knew his stuff.  And so we said we will go with you if you are the one who installs and he said okay.  Well then they called us and they're saying 'so sorry, I can't make it, double booked or whatever, so we're going to send, let's say the next guy's name is Bob.'  Well, we went ahead with you because we were going to use you.  Tell us about this new guy.  Is he any good?  Yes, highly recommended, very good - all this stuff.  And so we go well, okay, based on your recommendation because we were talking to the guy who promised to come.  Nope, not him - somebody else - not even the second guy who was promised.  So he comes - he did an okay job installing, except we can't get any hot water after he leaves.  And it turns out that he had put it on - or it was on when it arrived, whatever  -  on vacation hold.  There's a knob downstairs but we didn't know.  And also, when you get a new water heater, new things, a lot of times they'll sit and explain some things, like here's your paperwork.  Nope - the guy's just done and he left.  So we go look and we don't have any hot water.  So we finally call late that night because the guy says it'll take about 45 minutes to heat up.  Well, two hours, four hours, we finally call and the guy had it on vacation so it was heating at like 70 and it's supposed to be a minimum of 120.  So we had to call and they walked us through what we needed to do.  That wasn't so good.  That's kind of B & D in a nutshell. It's like they have some really good people and some really bad people.  We had a good quote, we liked the salesman, but they did not follow through on the promise of sending that guy or the next guy, and then the guy who was there didn't set it up properly.  But then on the positive, when we called 10 or 11 o'clock at night,  the guy was able to nicely help us walk through and find out what the problem was, and we fixed it.  So it was nice that they were available.  There's been some times when they've been amazing - good; we had B & D install our sink when we remodeled our kitchen and the guy was awesome, he did a great job.  But then we had a leak in our tub that we had worked and worked, couldn't figure it out.  And the guy who came, he's the one who we said don't ever send him back.  They guy sat on our tub and had us run around the house while he turned the water off and on.  I'm like, wait a minute - shouldn't you be looking for the leak because you're the plumber and you're the one who knows what to look for?  So we thought that was weird.  And then he finally, when it's all said and done and he's been sitting by the tub the whole time, turning the water off and on, he says, well, I don't see it.  It doesn't appear to be leaking.  The next day, we have a closet that you open it up - we store blankets - and it's also got the panels to get to the back of the shower.  Right?  Well my husband was looking for something or we were in there trying to figure it out ourselves and he had a flashlight.  And it was later, because normally I think we're doing it during the day, but it was a little bit darker and the light from the flashlight shone and it was coming straight through, all around all those faucets, all around the tub fill.  Oh my goodness, so then we started moving and we got - water just would go - it made total sense.  So then he re-caulked, so we found the problem and we re-caulked it, right?  Well it turned out later there was another problem - it's been kind of a little here, little there king of thing.  I mean, it'll be good for awhile, like a year, and start leaking again.  So the bottom line is that big, fat, lazy plumber who had us run and he sat there the whole time, never even saw all the problem areas that were all around the faucets.  So I wasn't happy about that.  So we went to another plumbing company that was the least expensive and the highest rated.  And we just had him come in and he fixed it quickly.  He had to cut out part of the pipe that fed into the faucet and we got all new faucets and everything for the bathroom that we've had the non-stop problem with.  So we replaced that but also, if you go into the wall, there's a round device that feeds the water into your faucet - that was the leak - that was it.  So that was taken care of.  We're kind of done with B & D Plumbing - they're too hit or miss."

"Two of our smartest friends - one in Minneapolis, -- the other in St. Paul, used All Energy Solar for their solar panels for their electric systems . So we talked with them about their experience and it was so positive we went with All Energy. Great communication, great project management. We wanted to do solar to offset a new air conditioning system. All Energy worked with Xcel when we had a disagreement with the power company about how much capacity we would need. Another reviewer called the process 'seamless' and that's how it felt for us too. Have recommended All Energy Solar to friends."

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Solar panels should get at least four to six hours of direct sunlight daily. It’s even better if sunlight reaches panels between the peak hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is enough to power a home, depending on your solar system’s size and energy needs. Remember that panels will generate some power under cloudy skies or in the shade, and many systems compensate for lower sun exposure by drawing energy from the grid or battery storage.

In most cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. Solar panels don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.

Yes, you have to get on the roof to cut a hole for solar tubing. It's not possible to complete the job from inside your house by simply cutting through the ceiling. So if you want to go the DIY route, remember to use safe ladder practices. If you’re not comfortable climbing on your roof to install solar tubes, hire a pro who has the tools and expertise to do the job safely.

The average homeowner needs around 22 solar panels, but the exact number depends on your monthly energy consumption. Your solar professional should size your array to offset your consumption, meaning you’ll need fewer panels if you use below-average amounts of electricity, or more than 22 if you use above-average amounts of electricity. The number of panels also depends on the output of each panel. The average is around 400 watts, but you might need more panels if you install less capable equipment. Since there are so many variables, you should have a professional size your system.

There are a few great questions to ask a solar contractor or inspector when you speak to them. You’ll probably want to find out about the energy yield and efficiency of your array, ensuring the actual output matches the amount you calculated when installing the array in the first place. It’s also a good idea to find out about any damage or wear and tear on the array and to inquire about how soon you need to make repairs or replacements to essential components.
