Solar, battery and electrical contractorBased in Evansville, IndianaProfile updated October 14, 2026

Is Morton Solar a good choice?

Morton Solar fits homeowners in southern Indiana, southern Illinois and western Kentucky who want a local installer with in-house electricians. It says it has served the region since 2006 and uses Q CELLS panels and Tesla Powerwall batteries. Its state pages list 25-year panel performance and microinverter warranties, but its “comprehensive workmanship warranty” has no published term for standard systems, and its starter packages list only a 1-year workmanship warranty. Get the workmanship term in writing before you sign.

Why choose Morton Solar, and why you might not

What Morton does well, and where to be careful, compared with the installers it competes with most.

Reasons to choose Morton

  • It names its equipmentMorton names Q CELLS panels made in the USA, Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries and Enphase microinverters, the small boxes that turn solar power into home power. EightTwenty and Rectify name no brands.

  • Its own electricians do the workMorton is an electrical contractor with its own electricians. It says it has served southern Indiana, southern Illinois and western Kentucky since 2006.

  • It lists its equipment warrantiesIts pages list 25 years on panel output and on the microinverters, and 10 years on the Tesla Powerwall. Ask which of these apply to your system.

  • Owners praise its service after the saleIts head-office Google listing shows 4.7 from 89 reviews. Owners praise its service after the sale and a warranty repair of failed inverters.

Reasons to look at others

  • Its warranty on its own work is unclearMorton’s starter packages list just 1 year on its own work. For other systems it gives no length. Rectify lists 10 years. Get Morton’s term in writing.

  • No set warranty for roof leaksMorton lists no warranty for leaks where the panels are bolted to the roof. Ask who fixes a leak there, who pays, and for how long.

  • It lists only two ways to payYou can buy the system, or take a loan from Clean Energy Credit Union. It does not say if you can rent the panels. SES lists renting.

  • Some owners report slow repliesIts negative reviews describe poor office communication, slow service and work reported as unfinished. Ask how it sets install dates and who answers service calls.

Morton 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.

  • Google4.7 / 589 reviews · Evansville, IN office listing only, not company-wideRead reviews

The five positive reviews below praise service after the sale, fair prices and a warranty repair of failed inverters. The five negative reviews describe poor office communication and a worker falling through a ceiling, a shaded system with slow service, a 2025 install that missed the tax credit deadline, an Enphase monitor with no reply, and work reported as unfinished. These are issues to ask about, not a measure of how often they happen. Ask Morton how it sets install dates and who answers service calls.

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 (89 reviews read, back to Jun 23, 2016). We found no Trustpilot page for Morton 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 Morton Solar cost?

Morton Solar does not publish a system price; its FAQ says the price depends on system size and offers a free quote. Ask for an itemized quote showing the cash price, system size, equipment models and, if you finance, the financed total with APR and fees. For state price ranges, see our solar panel cost guide; for how the plans compare, see loans, leases and PPAs.

Purchase

Loan (Clean Energy Credit Union)

You own it

Financing through the company’s partner, Clean Energy Credit Union, which sets the terms and approval.

Plans as listed on Morton Solar’s FAQ page, read October 13, 2026. No lease or PPA is listed.

Morton Solar’s state pages name Q CELLS panels made in the USA, Tesla Powerwall 3 batteries and inverters, and IronRidge racking (Illinois page, Indiana page). Its products page also names QCells, SEG and JA Solar all-black panels and Enphase microinverters. The same pages list a microinverter warranty, so ask whether your design uses microinverters or a Tesla inverter. Your written proposal should list the exact panel, inverter and battery models, the system size in kilowatts (kW) and the forecast yearly production in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Licenses

We found 2 active license records in state registries (October 13, 2026). Indiana licenses this work through individuals or local permits, not a company license; ask for the license holder’s number.
