Centauri Systems

We now have a 21-panel array thanks to Centauri Systems! I really appreciated how quickly Dylan communicated throughout the process and answered my questions as I had them. The folks at Centauri are utility and city permit whisperers, getting us through the interconnection application and permitting process quickly and with ease. On the day of installation, the crew determined a much more aesthetically pleasing layout for the panels on our roof and implemented the revised design the same day. I also really appreciated that Centauri recommended a well regarded local nonprofit for financing rather than some distant big bank. Thank you, Centauri Systems!

Over the years we've gotten 3-4 solar installation proposals from three different installers. Centauri Systems provided the best bid that met our needs. From the beginning they were easy to work with, carefully explained each step. I spoke with several staff and each clearly communicated the steps we were working on and what needed to occur. The only delay was a brief timeout from Xcel who scheduled the permitting/interconnection process. We signed in December 2023 and installation started in the early days of February, just a couple days after Xcel opened the gate. We purchased a 6.3 kW system, 15 REC420, with Iq8x inverters, racking by Iron Ridge and monitoring by Enphase Production. There is a 25 year warranty on all parts & labor. No batteries. We enjoy viewing live power production from each panel. During installation I met most of the crew and learned more about Centauri Systems. They are a relatively new and importantly, local small Solar business from NE Minneapolis. The install went without a hitch, was roughly a two day project with a couple follow up minor details and the power was turned on within about six weeks. Two inspections and a test run by Xcel, with Centauri staff present we were live. I highly recommend Centauri Systems, if you're thinking about adding solar to your home or business. Communication was excellent throughout the project and they remain responsive to questions. I also recommend asking about "Critter Guard" if you have squirrels/chipmunks in your yard or neighborhood.

Our experience with Centauri has been everything we expected from initial planning of our solar footprint for our roof to the final turn on of our system. We get timely responses to follow up questions as we learn and navigate our system and the solar production we have generated has been outstanding. The installation process was clean, the team respectful and informative, and we had a seamless handoff from one step to the next. When we embarked on this process, our hope was that we would have an informative partner all through this journey, which is exactly what we got. We can’t ask for more than that.

Centauri is a wonderful company! Very professional yet friendly, gave a fair price, kept in touch, did the work efficiently and skillfully while being responsive to what I needed. Everything was great in every way!

Centauri Systems was fantastic to work with. We had obtained many quotes and went with them because of great reviews, good pricing and just energetically they were transparent and trustworthy. Our project moved faster than expected and they were so helpful and on top of all the permits and paperwork. Our panels have been in over a month and look beautiful! Our neighbors have shared how good they look. We are also producing so efficiently, even in February! Overall we cannot recommend them enough and had an excellent experience working with Centauri Systems.

Dylan and Noah were awesome to work with. Their low-pressure sales pitch made us feel comfortable. Their prices were among the lowest which made us a little concerned especially since they are not one of the main vendors in the area but they quickly made us feel at ease. Rest assured, they will deliver a great product at a great price. Usually, you get one or the other but with Centauri, you get both! The construction foreman was also great. He has great communication about the process. They originally scheduled this for 3 days but they completed it in a day and a half. I work from home so I was concerned about my power going out but it was only out for less than 5 minutes. They even scheduled the outage to occur during my lunch so it would be less disruptive. The solid black panels look amazing. Not everyone installs those, these guys do and it looks awesome.
