We have been very pleased with the 4.8 kW system that was installed but disappointed in the company’s failure to respond to my emails, online requests and phone calls about a burned-out panel that is under warrantee by the manufacturer. The system has stopped working and we had hoped the company would at least make recommendations about how to fix our problem. I’ve driven to their location at 2010 East Hennepin and they are not listed on the building as tenants. mike@invisiblechildren.org

Daniel and Rebecca did everything right. They handled all the paperwork with the power company, worked with us for the best arrangement for our house, did things when they said they would, responded to all our questions and emails quickly, and gave us a great system that is functioning just like they said it would. All this and they were the low bidder too. We have an older home and have worked with a lot of contractors. Never had we had such a thoroughly positive experience as we have had with Powerfully Green. We'll recommend them to all our friends.

I had a great experience with Rebecca and her team. She was very responsive to inquiries. My wife and I must have exchanged some 60+ emails with Rebecca before deciding to go with them, and she was very prompt and courteous in all responses (even on weekends). They took care of all paperwork & permits. She explained things very well, resp re: the finances and rebates that are currently going on (one installer I contacted for a quote was trying to push panels made out of state, even though there is currently the Made-in-Minnesota rebate program here.) The install itself was painless and very clean. Again, they were very nice, even when our mastiff and young children got curious as to what was going on, Overall, I'm very happy with Powerfully Green and would have no problem recomending them.

It is a wonderful system. They were very thorough in explaining what they are doing. They were very quick and got it done in two days. They cleaned thoroughly and communicated well. They invertors change the electricity to AC that exactly matches the AC.
Description of Work: They designed and installed 7 mega watt solar panel system. They installed all the necessary equipment and utilities.

Called this company and another. Very interested in solar for my home. Also remodel green. Got a voice mail and left a message. Other company answered and I got a quote promptly by email. Thought this company was no longer in business. Weeks later got a call, gave my address but still no quote. I will check my junk mail just to be sure. No follow up. It is winter time so installs are probably not happening yet!

Response from Powerfully Green
We are sorry the free site assessment did not reach you via email when sent. We have since printed out a hard copy and mailed it to your home address. I hope you find the information useful.

The site assessment was conducted well and professionally.
Description of Work: Dan and Rebecca came to our property to provide a solar site assessment. They were prompt, pleasant, informative, and attentive to detail. They explained components of the assessment before and during the assessment. We received a thorough report, after the assessment was completed. Unfortuantely, we have too much shade on our property, so it does not make sense for us to install PV panels at this time. We would definitely work with PowerfullyGreen, if and when our conditions change.

The two people who run powerfully green showed up and gave an assessment of my property. Turned out that I've got too much shade to qualify for rebates, but they looked at everything they could and talked about what all the factors were (closeness of the houses, which trees were giving me shade when) within about 15 minutes and were extremely nice. If I had the opportunity to work with them, I toally would.

Dan and Rebecca with Powerfully Green are the most well-respected, informed and experienced solar installers that I can imagine. Add to that the fact that they are passionate and conscientious about their work, and you have a duo that provides a flawless service and experience. We had many questions and reservations about making the leap into solar, but Dan and Rebecca replaced our hesitation with solid answers and information that helped us make the decision to go with solar panels. Their knowledge and professionalism were just the support we needed as they guided us through the whole process. And now we are reaping the benefits, with an 8kw solar array on our roof that looks great and functions flawlessly.We couldn't be happier with what Powerfully Green has done for us. If you are curious or considering solar power for your home or business, we strongly recommend that you contact Dan and Rebecca at Powerfully Green to ask any questions you may have. You will come away with great information, and if you're lucky, you, too, will start a solar project with Powerfully Green.
Description of Work: Educated us about solar panels for our home; assessed the viability of our home for generating photovoltaic power; drew up alternative plans for us to choose from; advised us on the benefits and drawbacks of several different solar panels; helped us navigate through the complicated process of paperwork and applications with the power company; coordinated the installation of mounting brackets with the roofers who were re-roofing our house; did the actual installation of our 8kw solar system; helped us with inspection requirements and walked through final inspection with city inspector; installed a gauge that gives us continuous feedback on our solar power generation as well as our power usage, and taught us about how our system works in our house.

It couldn't have gone better. We really love working with Rebecca and Dan because they are all about what's possible. When we said we wanted more panels, they didn't talk about the difficulties of integrating two separate systems, but instead chose to focus on the possibilities. Their enthusiasm and positivity encouraged us to learn more and make more changes in our lives. They made not only our electric bill go to nothing, they help us live better. We really appreciated that they cared about the things we cared about. We give special attention to the aesthetics of our 1924 bungalow, so they took care to check with us about not only where the panels were placed, they checked with us about the location of circuit boxes, wire conduits and other equipment. Their customer service is superb. The first time we had hail, they were willing to check out the solar panels on our house (we could see the panels on our garage were fine). And when the inverter failed (the electronic box that converts DC electricity to AC), they responded quickly, and made all the arrangements necessary to have it replaced at no cost to us. When we were first connected to the grid, we had problems with our Xcel bill, but Rebecca in particular really advocated for us, including helping us write a letter to the Public Utilities Commission, which got our problem straightened out right quick! Rebecca and Dan have consistently been available for questions or concerns as they've arisen (mostly due to our misunderstanding of how the systems work). They're easily reached by phone, email, and through Facebook. Rarely has it taken them more than a half a business day to get back to us.
Description of Work: Actually, the most recent service date (and spent amount) was the second time we hired Powerfully Green to install solar panels (for a 2.0 kW addition to our existing 3.2 kW system). Our first installation was in 2009 and when we decided to expand our solar photovoltaic (PV) system, we didn't even consider another contractor. Rebecca and Dan first came to our house and not only did a thorough site assessment for sun and installation suitability, they took a lot of time to explain the ins and outs of solar power. When they returned with the proposal, they offered us a number of options with a wide price range and was thorough with their bid, including rebates and tax credit information. Rebecca also educated us about easy actions we could take before getting solar panels in order to reduce our electric bill, which we did! After we chose an option, they scheduled installation, ordered the panels, and in January of 2009 was up on our roof and our garage installing the first 3.2 kW of panels (16--8 on the house, 8 on the garage). When they were on our snow-covered roof, they were very safety conscious by wearing harnesses. They were professional and clean and even did all the paperwork for the refund and the documentation for the tax credit. Our second installation (10 more panels for a total of 26 and 5.2 kW) went just as smoothly. Since they were familiar with our site, they came prepared to talk about how to integrate the new panels with the existing ones including reorienting the existing panels on the garage. In addition, they installed a user-friendly gauge that gives us feedback about how the system is running.

The customer service of Rebecca and Daniel was exceptional. The passion for their work was contagious. I called them at the beginning of March and we made an appointment to get the solar site assessment. After that I got six proposals a couple of days later. We had many conversations on the phone where Rebecca would explain every detail of the system and why they had chosen that option. She was very patient with all of my questions and answered them promptly. One month later they presented a final option with some minor changes based on our conversations. We signed the contract and they gave us a tentative project schedule on contingency of good weather. The project went on schedule even if on some of those days we had bad weather. Powerfully Green is a great Minnesota company.
Description of Work: 4.62 KW solar panels system installed on the roof of our home and all the MN Solar Rebate and contract with Xcel paperwork.

This is a great company--I would call them for any future solar system needs. The glass on one of our thermal collectors had shattered ( as tempered glass does sometimes) when we pulled snow off it last December. We tried for months to get it fixed by the company that originally installed the system (another Minneapolis solar installation company) and the repair kept getting delayed because they said it was too difficult to get the glass panel. I had to find someone else, because it was being put off for 4 months. I found Powerfully Green on Angie's List. I called them and spoke with Rebecca who said they would get back to me within 24 hours--and they called back much sooner than that! Dan put in my order right away with the manufacturer, drove from the Twin Cities to Alexandria MN and back to pick up just 1 glass panel and they installed it within 2 weeks!!! Their customer service is superb. The price was just as quoted (also $350 less than the other company). They were right on time and above all did great work. This is no doubt the best solar company in the Twin Cities. I am very grateful to them.
Description of Work: They replaced the glass panel on one of our five 4'x10' thermal collectors which sits up on our roof.

One word for Rebecca Lundberg & Dan Williams from Powerfully Green--Amazing. They were unfailingly thorough and professional, never missing a detail and answering all our questions throughout the process. They did a great job. Dan & Rebecca know solar energy systems inside and out and they were incredibly responsive. They did all of the rebate application work for us, made sure that we got all the required State and Xcel Energy approvals before moving forward and did a fabulous job of coordinating with our City Planners to help rewrite City Code so our installation could progress! I can't believe how hard they work and everything was done on time. Our solar project--extensive as it was--was made even more of an adventure by the fact that we were having a lifetime-warranted metal shingle roof installed at the same time as the solar installation. The two projects were absolutely intertwined and their communication & coordination were excellent. When an unanticipated issue came up with the fit between the solar attachments on the roof and the flashing, Powerfully Green went the extra mile by having the new standoffs delivered Next Day Air Early AM at their own expense--just to make sure we didn't have any delays. Our entire experience with Powerfully Green was far above what we could have anticipated. Everything was done really well, on-time and with professionalism that was exceptional. I recommend them wholeheartedly and we are so glad we chose them for our installers!
Description of Work: Complete 4.5 kW solar photovoltaic (electric) installation and system startup. Services included doing almost all the work of applying for the solar rebates offered by Xcel Energy and the State of Minnesota Department of Energy Security. The price above is the total price AFTER rebates, which is really what counts considering that Powerfully Green was instrumental in making the rebate process very streamlined.
