Why choose The Solar Guys, and why you might not
What The Solar Guys do well, and where to be careful, compared with the installers they compete with most.
Reasons to choose The Solar Guys
They build for cold, snowy wintersThe Solar Guys say they design systems for cold winters. Their panels are rated for 30 mm hail, a bit over an inch across.
They also do off-grid workThey also build off-grid systems, for homes with no power line. Creative Energies and Wind & Solar World do off-grid work too.
They name their equipment brandsThey say they focus on Enphase, EG4 and Q-Cells systems. You can look these brands up before a sales visit.
Owners praise their design helpIts Google listing shows 5 from 59 reviews. Owners praise fast, clear help with design and permits, and damaged panels replaced quickly.
Reasons to look at others
Its 25-year warranty is not explainedIts homepage mentions a 25-year warranty but does not say what it covers. It publishes no warranty on its own work or for leaks where the panels are bolted to the roof. Get every term in writing.
They show no address or license numberThe Solar Guys publish no street address and no license number. We found no record in North Dakota or Nebraska on October 13, 2026. Ask for the license in your state.
They do not name their lenderThey offer their own financing for up to 25 years but do not name the lender. They also list a LightReach plan where you rent the panels. Ask for the terms in writing.
Ask who actually does the installIts reviews praise design and engineering help, and we found no negative ones. They do not show whether the company puts in systems itself. Ask who installs yours, and how problems get fixed.
The Solar Guys 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.
- Google5 / 559 reviews · One office listing, not company-wideRead reviews
The five positive reviews below praise knowledgeable, responsive design and engineering help, including a fast weekend turnaround on a permit packet that one owner says the utility approved on first review, and damaged panels replaced before the shipping claim was settled. There were no negative reviews among the reviews we read. Positive reviews alone do not show how a company handles problems. Ask The Solar Guys whether they install systems themselves or only provide design and engineering.

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 (59 reviews read, back to Jul 12, 2023). We found no Trustpilot page for The Solar Guys 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.
