"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."

"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."
