No pressure sales, Responsive, Competitive
Centauri was a pleasure to work with and would recommend them to anyone. We started discussions in February and by the end of the month were confident Centauri was the company for us. It was only ~6 weeks from the date of signing the first documents until they were installed which is probably faster than anyone else could have done. The system looks great, is performing well, and overall everyone at Centauri couldn't have been better. Brett, Noah, Dylan, Graham, and all the great installers, thank you. We got a good balance of high output REC 410W panels combined with a cost-effective IQ7 series (future battery system realistically is not for us).<br /><br />My recommendations: 1. Buy with a MN based company (Centauri on the top of that list of course) 2. Expect some delays and minor hiccups but don't worry, you're in good hands.<br /><br />1. We had just moved in January so didn't plan on doing solar so soon, but a Blue Raven door-knocker started the conversation and I started getting competitive quotes also from Centauri, All Energy, and iSolar. I will repeat other's recommendation: BUY LOCAL! Blue Raven was way too pushy, was in the business of financing rather than solar, and overall were not transparent on a system details and their slimey financing hidden fees. The other companies I would be happy to go with, but Brett and Centauri, while truly no-pressure, were upfront super willing to answer all of my technical questions immediately and to amazing length! They were priced very competitively and with SolarInsure at their back, longevity of the system is pretty much guaranteed.<br /><br />2. The reps at the energy company work with Centauri so it's hard to gauge progress of signing forms and getting things ordered, but just know it can take some time. While we had it installed in early April, it was approved and turned on officially in May due to several rounds of MVEC inspector pointing out new things that were related to billing or whatever which was annoying, but it got done. The few little mishaps here and there, Centauri owned responsibility and did what was needed to make things right, so I commend them for great service in all scenarios.

Customer service
Working with Dylan was the easiest and most helpful experience I’ve had with a company. He was prompt, understanding, and problem solved my issue until a solution was found.

Excellent Service
These guys were great to work with. They kept me well informed throughout the process. When they ran into some issues, they went above and beyond to take care of it. They made it a super easy process.

Most competetive offer for all my criteria
I became interested in getting a solar panel system for my home when another business went door to door in my neighborhood. I knew for sure that I wanted to move forward with solar, so it was just a question of "who," not "if" or "when." I got quotes from several solar installation providers and I was surprised to find that Centauri Systems was the most competitive for all of my criteria. Their offer had the most efficient panels, the best warranty, and even the lowest price. Through speaking to the staff, they answered all of my questions and provided very transparent information. I was at no point pressured into getting more than I wanted, but they also worked with me to provide proposals for larger systems upon my request. I decided to oversize my system and get a system that would generate an estimated 245% of my yearly energy use. So far, my first full month of production has resulted in about 3 times more energy generated than I have consumed, which is in line with estimates considering that it is summer. I was also impressed by how quickly I was able to get my system fully installed, inspected, and operating. I entered into an agreement in mid March and my system started producing around mid April. The customer service has been excellent and I have not had any issues.

Great experience
We shopped around for our solar system and got quotes from 5 or 6 installers. When talking with Dylan, what struck me immediately was that I didn't feel like I was talking to a salesperson. Dylan was direct, concise, and laid out everything we needed to know. That, combined with the superior product and competitive price made it an easy decision for us. Installation went well and the system looks great on our roof. Just got our utility statement for our first full month and it was a $60 credit. Would highly recommend Centauri.

Solar sales and installation!
The whole Centauri team has been good to deal with from sales and answering my hundreds of questions to the guys coming out to install and explain what they’re doing. Have been a pleasure to work with! Now I’m looking forward to seeing how well my solar panels work!

Great small company gives attentive service
Centauri Systems did a great job on my solar installation. When I researched installers, they had the best pricing I saw on an installer that also had the highest rating. At my request they sold me some extra capacity that made really productive use of my roof space and looks really good. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and informative. When the power company was a little slow to set up the final test, my rep kept on them and kept me in the loop on what was happening.

Great Company All Around
They did a prefect job from sale to install. This company was great at answer all our questions and was onsite the day they said they would be there.

Great to work with
This is my second install with Centauri. I initially used them for a solar array, and added on Enphase 5P batteries this year. Everyone was easy to work with, and communicated well. Xcel was a pain, and dragged out everything (both times!) which stinks but isn’t Centauri’s fault. Work was done quickly, Andy is a super knowledgeable and friendly electrician, and Noah was quick to reply with any questions.

Easy and Fast!
We are extremely happy with the job Centauri did installing our solar panels. Dylan explained everything thoroughly and gave us different pricing options. Our project manager Noah was easy to get a hold of and answered any questions we had. The whole process was much faster than we thought it would be. The workers that came to the house were really nice and professional. This was much easier than we thought it would be. I can't recommend Centauri enough for your solar needs.
