Northwind constructed a rooftop solar project for my firm about 8 years ago with 320 panels on a flat roof, and it has operated well since. Their quality and professionalism is top notch. I was involved more recently in another project they built near Madison on a ground mount racks, again they did a bang up job and have another happy customer/owner. They have a great staff and are committed to environmental responsibility as well as providing quality jobs for their workers. What's not to love!?

December 2013 Northwind put a 9 W system in for us. The poor guys did it during a really bad snowstorm. I still have the picture of the guy with a frozen beard! We Are still tied to the grid, with a by directional meter, With Xcel Energy. We make more electricity than we use, Unless my old bones get cold and turning electric heater on in the fall before we start up our boiler. Most years we get a check back for about $100. Which may not seem like a lot, but our monthly service fee is under $16, so that $100 we get back actually pays for six or seven months of that customer service fee. That means, my electricity cost me about $96 a year. As a person over 65, the stability of having that fixed bill is awesome! And Northwind did such a wonderful job putting our panels in on the ground and building the racking that holds them, they have not shifted at all. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Everyone was pleasant, helpful, and professional. They handled everything and kept me informed every step of the process. I never had to worry about an anything.

Northwind recently installed a residential ground solar array for me, and I couldn't be happier. They didn't try to oversell, pressure me, or offer questionable schemes like other solar companies I talked to first. If you're thinking about solar, use a local company that will take care of you! Also, they're employee-owned and I respect that.
They worked with my budget, understood me, and came up with the perfect plan. Woody gave me clear, direct answers to every question I had and was honest and realistic about my needs and the timeframe. Even though I missed the tax credit, they helped me get a nice $2400 rebate from Focus on Energy. It's so worth it.
Communication throughout the project was absolutely stellar. They handled all the communication with inspectors and WE Energies and kept me informed. I enjoyed talking to Woody, Dylan, Robin and the whole crew. I should've made them some cookies or something. They are pleasant people, they care, and they do excellent work!

Northwind Solar installed an Emporia Energy monitor at our home. Thanks for accommodating our wonky service panel setup, and special thanks to Robin for helping us identify the appliances/outlets and receptacles on our otherwise confusing panel. We enjoy the monitoring app provided, and it's already fun to see which appliances are drawing the most power. We've identified that our water heater is rather high and is pretty old, so we are going to explore a heat pump water heater recommendation from Durand. This will help us lay the groundwork for going solar one day. Thanks again to Robin, Choi, and Durand for getting this installed for us. Look forward to working with you in the future.
