The Good

  • Financing Options
  • Excellent Reputation
  • Company Age and Experience

Financing Options

Cedar Creek Energy strives to create solar power systems to give the best payback and generous rate of return on its customers' investment. It will work with customers to give every client the maximum funding and savings available with tax incentives, utility programs, green grant opportunities, etc. Cedar Creek Energy gives appropriate advice to clients on financing options provided based on their needs and goals.  

Excellent Reputation 

Cedar Creek Energy has excellent reviews online from past clients. We found it hard to find any negative comments other than delays with materials during COVID.

The company's website states “We treat our clients like we ourselves would like to be treated. This is a core value for all of us at Cedar Creek Energy. This way of being comes to us naturally. You will experience the difference of working with a company team that truly cares and listens and then makes things work for you the way they said they would.”

This company goal has seemed to work for this business as most customers are grateful for the honest and positive experience they have had with hiring Cedar Creek Energy.  

Company Age and Experience

The longer a solar contractor has been installing solar systems, the more experience it is bound to have. Experienced contractors are less likely to cut corners which gives confidence in quality workmanship. We recommend a contractor having at least five years of experience. Cedar Creek Energy has been installing solar systems since 2007; it has the experience and expertise we are looking for.

The Bottom Line

If you live in Minnesota and are looking to make the switch to solar energy, Cedar Creek Energy would be a great option to consider. It has a great reputation, is local, has been around for many years, doesn’t sub out any of its business, and has many reviews of fair pricing.

Of course, each job in solar is individual and what Cedar Creek Energy can offer as far as price and options will be unique to each client, we feel they have many positive indicators for our recommendation.

We suggest consumers get multiple quotes for a costly investment such as solar. Several quotes with specifics about materials used, cost, install time, how much production will be generated with the proposed system, incentives accounted for and financing options help to compare options to help in the decision-making process.
