All Energy Solar - Profile & Reviews

All Energy Solar was amazing! The initial meeting gave us confidence to jump into solar, with clear information concerning the costs based on other residential projects similar in size to ours. The project manager, Annalise Dobbelstein, a very cheery voice over the phone, regularly kept us informed of dates for installation, inspection, and turning on the system. The installers were courteous, got right to work, and thoroughly answered every question we had. Charles Mollenkamp went over all of the final details with us, helping us understand the readouts and assuring us how little maintenance we would have to do. It has been an amazing June with sunny skies, and our first bill just came from Xcel Energy showing a credit. We are so happy that we chose to go solar, and we recommend All Energy Solar without reservation.

Dave from All Energy was very helpful, We spoke a couple of times and he was great to work with.
He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. And helped me evaluate my needs and concerns.

As I was not very knowledgeable with solar enery I was extremely cautious about jumping in with such a big investment. After meeting with Nick, their salesman, and talking with him over the course of several weeks I was very impressed by how thorough and detailed his explanations were to me in laymen's terms that even I could understand. At no point did I feel pressured to sign a contract until after I had all of my questions answered and felt confident that this was the right company to do business with. Annalise was assigned as a project coordinator to work with me for everything from contracts, financing, permitting, engineering, and finally scheduling the actual work. She called me weekly or bi-weekly with updates and answer all of my questions. I really appreciated how she took care of everything and kept the entire process on schedule. When the actual installers arrived on site they were very professional and knowledgeable. I have refererred All Energy Solar to my friends and neighbors and strongly encourage anyone interested in solar energy to contact All Energy Solar.

The entire process of working with Sarah and Annalise (and the entire team of installers and inspectors) at All Energy was seamless, even during COVID. They were in regular contact with us from the initial conversations, through the long permitting process and then through the installation and inspection. Getting solar can take a long time simply due to permitting turnarounds, and with the updates from Annalise we never worried that our project had slipped through the cracks. The installation took only a day and a half, and everyone that we worked with was friendly and highly professional. I would have no hesitation recommending them and we're really happy we decided to get solar!

We had a great experience from the first meeting we had and still to this day. The team at All Energy Solar was very punctual and professional, answering any a questions I had throughout the process. I met with another solar company before All Energy Solar. I was much more comfortable with All Energy. I would work with them again any day. I recommend them to anyone interested in solar.

Awesome, professional, great customer service.they got the job done in a timely manner and answered all my questions. Definitely would work with them again.

An amazingly positive experience. The best we have ever had working with a contractor of any sort. Well informed, accessible for questions, attentive, well organized, excellent workmanship.

I am pleased with the result. Overall the sales , planning and installation was handled professionally and seamlessly. There was some delay caused by factors beyond control. Through it all the project coordinator, Jill Crandall, was consistent in regular updates and thorough explanations when asked.

I had always wondered if Solar made economic sense and went into thinking if this doesn't cost me anymore than what I'm currently paying a month there would be no reason not to do it. The rep came out and reviewed the last 12 months of electric bills to gauge our usage and then scaled the solar array to meet those needs as long as we had ample roof space which we did. They also looked at which sides of the house will generate the most; we didn't want panels on the front of the house and the back faces east with no obstructions like trees from above. They took also into consideration our weather pulling information from the Hugo airport and our winter climate and were able to give us a proposal to cover 100% of usage based on 90% annual access to the sun. When I considered the fact that I'm already spending the money and home values can increase by about 4% in our area simply by having solar it was a no brainier. Even though its a 12 year return our reduction of our carbon foot print was the "why wouldn't you do it moment". In the proposal they calculated the specifics for your home including costs and savings right there on the spot. VERY IMPRESSIVE. From the quote to installation everything was very hands off, they had great project managers keeping us informed every step of the way. I would HIGHLY recommend All Energy Solar! Is just 21 days we have already made enough energy to offset our first electric bill. Bring on the Sun!

From start to finish All Energy Solar have been a great company to work with.
We have no complaints and recommend them to everyone for their solar needs.
Thanks to the whole team for getting our system up and running.

We had All Energy Solar install solar panels on our home in Harris MN, May 2020. I cannot say enough good things about the company. They were courteous, fair and considerate.

When the project installation, scheduled for later in 2019 did not get installed in 2019, due to weather and scheduling, this delay caused us to miss the deadline to qualify for the 30% federal tax credit. All Energy Solar called in early January and volunteered to make up the difference and reschedule for a spring 2020 installation. I did not have to ask and I think a company that volunteers to make it right for its customer is a special company. Our solar installation has been operating flawlessly for the past three weeks and we are thrilled.

I was nervous about solar but very interested in making an investment in my home and doing my part for the environment so I did a ton of research. After experiencing some questionable sales tactics and receiving absurdly limiting contract proposals from other solar providers, I reached out to All Energy Solar because they had such great ratings and comments but I was still very cautious. The process from sales to finance to project management to install to monitoring has been flawless and honestly a pleasure. As of today, my All Energy Solar system was installed one month ago and has already produced over $100 in credit from my local utility company. Every person, policy, and product from All Energy Solar has well exceeded my expectations and I recommend them without hesitation to anyone interested in going solar!

Our home solar install was smooth all the way from start to finish. It was really easy to get answers to our many questions from our consultant and she did a great job of showing us all of our options. We had to wait about 6 months for our install but our project coordinator kept us informed every step of the way.

Our installers showed up on time and were friendly and professional. The appearance of the install was actually better than I expected - all the panels were perfectly aligned and the electrical boxes were arranged neatly (not just thrown up there haphazardly).

Compared to other contractors I've worked with in the past, All Energy Solar really went above-and-beyond in terms of communication and quality of work.

I had a great experience with All Energy Solar, even when there were a few snags along the way. David D'Onofrio was an excellent sale-agent who explained the entire process with clarity and bent backwards to make sure we were happy. Carlo Maloni kept me updated throughout the installation process, step by step. The system was supposed to be installed by November 2019, which due to the muddy conditions did not happen. However, All Energy Solar took all the responsibility for this and sent me the money I lost as tax rebate for the delay as well as some more. The system was installed in January/February 2020, and it has been exceeding expectations. It is a breath of fresh air to be dealing with companies such as All Energy solar. They are honest, straight forward, and really care about their customers. I had considered other companies as well, but I could not be happier about having selected All Energy Solar. Thank you guys!

All Energy walked me through all the steps of installing solar in my home before starting the work. They completed the job ahead of schedule. They communicated with me throughout the process. They were clean and professional during the install, observing social distancing with me and with each other. The service team was exacting and thorough. They take pride in their work and their company. It was a great experience.

My wife and I decided to do our part in leaving less of a carbon footprint on our planet. Solar was our way of doing our part to go green. Nick Nelson ( Sales Consultant ), from All Energy Solar, was our first contact in which to discuss the opportunity to switch. He laid out the pros and cons of going solar. The upfront cost of the equipment and installation is a challenge for most of us, but a lot has to do with the usage from the past ( they have finance options ). That will decide how many panels are required for current and future energy needs.My wife and I feel that the trend for going solar is increasing and want to be part of that trend. The installers were professional, personable and very willing to answer all questions we had. The install was two days ( only because of a missing part and it was Friday. Monday was the day they could get the part. Annalise, The Project Coordinator and Customer Liaison, was a godsend. She walked us thru the project and patiently answered more questions and "held our hands" during the whole process. Great personality and was a phone call or email away. Nick followed up by informing us what to expect and explained the equipment and what expect in the future. Annalise and Nick both told us to contact them anytime we have questions or concerns. With people like them representing All Energy Solar, this company will go far for all solar energy needs !

HIGHS
Was a great experience working with All Energy Solar.
They were easy to work with, kept me in the loop through the whole experience and worked with my power company to get all the details in writing.

My contacts (Nick & Sarah) were always willing to answer my questions and guide me through the process.

LOWS
Not much to write here other than not knowing the "best practices" for working with the panels in the MN winter...we will see what happens to keep ice off the roof and other potential problems during that season.

Overall it was a great experience...easy to work with, crews did their work professionally, and am looking forward to seeing the system perform while I do nothing =)

We ended up having a 12 panel install on our garage. The whole process was surprisingly painless and well executed. After my initial inquiry someone came out right away, gave me 3 solid bid options.

It took a little while for me to decide to do the work but the combination of various rebates, electric rates going up in the coming years and the reasonable price/payback period tipped the scales.

My project manager did a great job of communicating the project schedule and steps, and also made the various paperwork easy to do.

When it came time for install the crew were all great, did the work quickly and well and paid attention to details that were important to us.

Within a couple days it was all done, various inspections were completed and we are already hooked up and generating.

Impressed with the whole experience and looking forward to watching the meter!

I always take as many proposals as I can for big improvement jobs. Once I’ve decided on products, it comes down to price, and people. Once the prices offered are similar enough, the deciding factor is always how I evaluate the company, it’s performance reviews, and the local staff. I visit the facility before I sign. It’s more work for me up front, but it results in a smoother experience later.
In this case, the AES team proved to be the right choice. Every team member impressed me with their knowledge and performance. The installation went smoothly and was completed ahead of schedule, even with the crazy virus situation. Communication was always top notch.
It’s their coordinated teamwork that makes AES perform so well. I’m very confident in recommending them.

Carlo and everyone who work on our installation was just terrific. There were no surprises, and the work was completed on time and at the agreed price. I could not be any more happy I used this company.

Six Stars for everything.

In the summer of 2019, my husband and I hired All Energy Solar to put solar panels onto our new home.
Unfortunately, it took longer to build than we'd anticipated and so they weren't able to add the panels to our roof until spring. So, the process was more drawn out than we'd expected.
However, All Energy Solar did a great job of communicating with us and keeping us informed at all times, even when they were unable to actually be working on our project. We never felt abandoned.
Then, in the spring of 2020 as soon as the threat of snow was over, they contacted us and began to install our panels.
Everything continued to go quickly and smoothly and before we knew it our panels were on and connected and we were makeing energy!
My husband and I were MORE than satisfied with All Energy Solar and with every interaction we had with this knowledgeable and reputable company!

my wife and I agree that this was the best major project experience we have ever had! We met Jarad to give us a briefing and provide an estimate - he was knowledgable and patient with our questions. Nick was our project coordinator and kept in touch regularly with updates and plans. The installation crew was exceptional - they called when they arrived, briefed us on the plan for the day and called again at the end of the day to let us know what they had accomplished and what the plan for the following day would be. Our installation was during the COVID pandemic and the crew was extremely respectful of all of the recommended precautions. The system is now up and running and we are extremely pleased with the entire All Energy Solar experience, highly recommended.

From start to finish our experience with All Energy Solar was outstanding. Initial interest with contact at state fair. Presentation thorough and honest by Charles. Communication excellent with coordinator Jill. Installation delayed only by winter. Nick and crew timely and courteous. Electrician crew chief Keith outstanding. Inspections and start up perfect. I recommend this company without hesitation. Overall, outstanding experience.

They took $8130.35 and i don't have a panel on my home. They lied on building dept application and then demanded an additional $1800 from me.5 months later and no panels and they refuse to return money. I'm paying on loan and they are stating i owe them money for not putting panels on home.

Stay Away!!!!!

I had a variety of questions and options for placement (roof, ground, possible carport) right out the gate and had every option estimated in a timely manner. Once a deal was signed the various stages from inspection, structure reinforcement and the install window happened to fall directly over the Thanksgiving-Christmas season yet All Energy Solar still managed to beat expectations for timing. I was kept in the loop about all steps in the process and wasn't ever left wondering about what to expect and what the next stage is. I'm certainly pleased with the installation they put on my roof.

From my first meeting with Dave to my on going follow up call and questions All Solar has then there for me since my project started in July

With the caveat that my panels haven't been installed long enough for me to discuss performance, let me say that AES has been a pleasure to deal with throughout. Knowledgeable people, regular thorough updates from the coordinator, and as smooth a process as the weather would allow. As a woman living alone, I am extra sensitive to the impression given by onsite teams, and the AES folks were consistently polite, efficient, communicative, and very easy to have around.
If i could give bonus stars for responsiveness, i would.

"I am very happy that I chose All Energy Solar as my solar provider. The installation went smoothly and the Project Coordinator, Carlo, kept us informed of everything along the way. I am very happy that I went solar with All Energy Solar!"

AES will not provide a quote thru EnergySage. You need to work with them directly.

All Energy Solar is a good vendor. The people we dealt with were all good, all professional and AES has a strong reputation with the inspectors and others that work with them. We got a quality system (15 panels, 5kw) that meets our needs and had a relatively smooth process. Be aware the process with design, approvals, etc. may easily take four months or more.

The three solar vendors we talked to were all very professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the field. Not your usual sales experience.

In spite of the huge cost reductions in solar in the last 10 years, realize that those savings do not all come down to us consumers. Government subsidies have been reduced. And vendors need to make money. We paid $3.85 per watt for our installation, which is above the national median price for residential solar ($3.5 in 2018), but not wildly so. When I asked for an estimate for another 10 panels, the response was the cost would go up proportionately. Without any gains recognized from the relatively fixed costs of project management, approvals, engineering, site visits, purchasing, etc. One may wonder whether the price is partly based on providing a 10-year payback for the homeowner, but no better.

We did identify to the sales rep that we wanted to leave room on the roof for future expansion, more panels. We reiterated that to the site engineer when they came out, news to him. Once when we got our engineering drawings, they likewise did not reflect our desired, more compact layout which would allow for the addition of more panels. So, if you have particular requirements, make sure to follow those through the entire process.

I am extremely satisfied with All Energy Solar. They have been professional from the first phone call through completion of the installation. The system was provided as a package that covered everything including system design, permitting, interconnect paperwork and inspection.

All Energy Solar does a terrific job. I'm now installing PV on a third house using AES and I've been extremely pleased. Their staff work so hard! And they deliver a first rate service. The electricians and installation crews have been terrific! I highly recommend them. They make it easy, and deliver an excellent product.

We didn't imagine 2 years ago that we would have a PV solar system on our house north of Duluth, but after working with the people at All Solar Energy it easily became a reality. They were thorough with all the details and the installation was fairly simple even with snow flying the days they worked on the roof. I appreciated their regular communication when we needed to complete various forms and applications. It was all professional and well informed.

Overall I am very happy with the final product. The installers were great and really helped to explain the entire system. The panels look nice and the quality is high. So far producing a lot of electricity! Only complaint is lack of communication. Constantly had to ask for updates to make sure the process was tracking correctly. Probably normal for them, but when it goes weeks without an update, I wonder if i was forgotten. At the end of the day, I am very happy with the final product and would recommend to others!

We had our ~4.2kW system install in December 2017 in NW Wisconsin. The process took much of the year but was clearly communicated and well planned. And it was actually great to know the team was VERY busy installing solar. Everyone we interacted with at All Energy Solar was professional, very competent, and pleasant.

Since our install, we did have one issue under warranty with our inverter. AES replaced it that week. Given our place is about 2 hours from St. Paul I was quite pleased with the turn around time - and things have been running flawlessly since.

The team at All Energy Solar made this process quite easy and I have great peace of mind generating my own sustainable energy - and having the team there when I need them.

My panels power almost 100% of my needs for the cabin (used weekends) and fully charging my EV.

I anticipate adding geothermal to to the cabin the future and will quite likely want to increase (double?) my panels. Looking forward to it!

From the salesperson to the project manager to the installers, the employees of All Energy Solar were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. When the vagaries of weather pushed back the date of our install they proactively kept us updated. We had a difficult installation situation with the meter being a distance from our townhouse but they completed it on time, on budget, and with excellent workmanship. We haven't had any need for service callbacks at this point but given their size and the quality of work I've seen, I expect that they will be around in the future should we need it.

All Energy Solar was a pleasure to work with. They provided clear communication through the planning thru installation and system power on. Since I have installed solar I am already seeing a return on my investment. They are a big enough company to not worry about them being around in the future for any service needs but they take care of you when it counts. I recommend all of my friends and family to All Energy Solar.

Wife and I found our experience with All Energy Solar from start to finish to be the best in the solar business. From start to finish the experience was handled with a high level of professionalism. Knowledge next to the best, which was used to keep us informed. To end we want to say keep the professionalism high and can't wait to work with in the future.

they'd been a great help along the way.
