Rik was easy to work with--he answered our questions without a hard sell. The price was very competitive. Equipment seems to be good quality (based on my online research). Installation was smooth; guys on the crew were friendly and professional.

Midwest Solar Power is an outstanding company! I did my homework when looking for a solar contractor and contacted several companies. Midwest Solar was extremely honest, personable, and easy to work with. Their price was great and used industry leading components. Our point of contact Michael was very well organized and quick to respond to any questions. You can tell everyone at the company has a passion for solar and the quality of work reflects that. The installation team was fast and friendly. Our 8.5kW system was installed in one day. I would highly recommend Midwest Solar Power. Thanks again

Midwest Solar Power were great start to finish. I was able to work with Rik on the consult and proposal. He was very straightforward and honest which I appreciated. He did not over-promise what the panels could do or guarantee specific payback years (as other companies do). I appreciated the time he took to explain how everything works and answer all my questions. Our system came online late 2020.
Even through the gloomy and snowy winter the production was pretty impressive. This spring we've started to see more of the potential and have been producing more than our usage and can't wait to see

Midwest Solar Power was outstanding from start to finish. Tom & Michael were very easy to work with & answered all of my questions I had regarding the new solar array I purchased through them. The installation got moved up from my original install date, which I was more than happy to accept. All went well with the installation and they finished even earlier than expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a solar array installed!

We recently had a 10.5Kw system installed by Midwest Solar Power LLC and things couldn't have gone better! We asked 5 companies for information and quotes on a system for our home and received a mix of responses from hard sells with gimmicks to no/delayed follow up after questions. Michael from Midwest Soar Power quickly followed up on any questions we had, he set up an on-site visit (considerate of COVID practices) to measure my roof and design a system that would best work for us, and gave us a very competitive bid with quality components. He explained all the advantages/disadvantages in
