Mississippi Solar Review
Solar, battery and Generac generator installerBased in Eupora, MississippiProfile updated October 13, 2026
Is Mississippi Solar a good choice?
Mississippi Solar fits Mississippi homeowners who want a long-running in-state electrical contractor, especially those who also want a Generac backup generator. It says it was founded in 2008 and is now owned by John and Virginia Wilbanks. Its about page publishes a 5-year workmanship repair promise and says its REC panels carry a 25-year product and performance warranty. Five years is short, so ask what an installation-related repair includes and whether roof leaks count.

Why choose Mississippi Solar, and why you might not
What Mississippi Solar does well, and where to be careful, compared with the installers it competes with most.
Reasons to choose Mississippi Solar
It names its equipment brandsMississippi Solar names REC, Qcells and Mission Solar panels, Enphase and SolarEdge inverters, and Franklin and Pytes batteries. Midsouth names no brands, and Solar Alternatives names no panel brand. You can look up the equipment before you sign.
It also puts in Generac generatorsMississippi Solar is a Generac generator dealer. It also puts in EV chargers and systems with battery backup or no power-company hookup. One good review praises its yearly care of a whole-home generator.
Owners praise its techniciansIts head-office Google listing shows 4.9 from 131 reviews. Owners praise technicians who are on time, polite and know their work, and say service is easy to book.
Its Mississippi license checks outIts Mississippi license was active when we checked on October 13, 2026. The company says it was founded in 2008. Its site does not print the license number, so ask for it.
Reasons to look at others
Its work warranty is 5 yearsMississippi Solar fixes problems with its install for free for 5 years. Solar Alternatives lists 25 years with its prepaid lease. Ask what counts as an install problem, and whether roof leaks do.
No inverter, battery or roof leak warranty listedIt lists no inverter or battery warranty, and none for leaks where the panels are bolted to the roof. Ask for each warranty in writing before you sign.
You cannot rent the panelsYou can pay upfront or take a personal loan through Acorn Financial. The lender sets the rate. Solar Alternatives offers a prepaid lease, where you pay once and rent the panels.
Some owners were surprised by service costsOne negative review says a service bill came to double the quote after a travel charge. Another describes a generator that failed in a storm while waiting for warranty work. Ask what service visits cost after the install.
Mississippi Solar reviews: what customers say
Each review site shows its own score; we read them on October 12 and 13, 2026 and do not combine them or add our own rating.

The five positive reviews below praise punctual, polite, knowledgeable technicians, easy service scheduling and clean work, and one owner describes careful yearly maintenance on a whole-home generator. The two negative reviews describe a service bill the reviewer says was double the quoted 85 dollars after a travel charge, and a generator that failed in a storm while awaiting warranty work. These are issues to ask about, not a measure of how often they happen. Ask Mississippi Solar what service visits cost after installation.

How we picked these: the five newest 5-star and the five newest 1- or 2-star reviews with written text on Google and Trustpilot, as of October 2026 (131 reviews read, back to Sep 21, 2020). We found no Trustpilot page for Mississippi Solar on October 12, 2026. Each quote is one sentence, word for word. Picking the highest and lowest ratings shows the range of experiences; it is not a representative sample, and we did not verify what reviewers describe.
How much does Mississippi Solar cost?
Mississippi Solar does not publish a fixed system price; its homepage says each customer gets a custom proposal that explains financing. Ask for an itemized quote showing the cash price, system size, equipment models and, if you finance, the lender, APR, fees and financed total. Its incentives page still describes federal tax credits; the residential credit ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025. For state price ranges, see our solar panel cost guide; for how the plans compare, see loans, leases and PPAs.

How we researched this profile
We read Mississippi Solar’s own pages on October 13, 2026: homepage, about, incentives and financing, FAQ, solar design and installation, and in remembrance. On October 14, 2026 its site showed a bot check, so we could not reread it; its claimed Google Business listing confirms the Eupora address. The Mississippi Secretary of State search blocked our access. We did not check its licenses in a state registry. We did not buy a system, request a quote, visit an office or interview customers. Mississippi Solar did not review this page.
