Mississippi Solar was the first commercial contractor in the state to hold a Solar and Wind Specialty License. The company was founded in 2008 and thus has over a decade of experience helping Mississippi residents reduce their energy costs and power their properties in a more sustainable way.
Mississippi Solar offers a number of solar-power-related services. Its team can install panels that tie to your power grid, or can help you go completely off-grid. It is also experienced in installing home standby generators and electric vehicle charging stations. Plus, Mississippi Solar offers maintenance and monitoring services, so it will be there to make sure everything continues to run properly even after installation is complete.
The company has the necessary certifications to operate and install solar power equipment in the state of Mississippi, and you can view a gallery of some of its projects on its website.

- Continuous Monitoring
- Certifications
Free, In-Home Consultation
Mississippi Solar offers free, in-home consultations scheduled at a time that’s convenient for you. During this consultation, the company’s representatives will assess your energy needs and provide an estimate of total cost for installation, services, and products. They will also make you aware of any current promotions being offered by Mississippi Solar as well as explain to you the financing options that are available to you. We couldn’t find information on the company’s website about what these financing options are.
Clear Process
After your free consultation, Mississippi Solar follows a clear and simple process so you know exactly how things will work if you choose to use its services. First, the company will provide you with a custom proposal, complete with the right design for your home or business. This proposal will also include financing options for you, as well as inform you of any tax incentives or credits that apply to your situation.
Next, if you accept the proposal, Mississippi Solar will take care of all the project management details, including ordering materials, applying for permits, and updating you along the way. Its installation team will arrive promptly on the day you agreed upon and will take the time to show you how the system operates upon completion. Finally, the company will provide continuous monitoring of your system, which is explained more in the next section.
Continuous Monitoring
One thing that sets Mississippi Solar apart from other solar companies we’ve seen is that it continues to monitor your solar system or generator after installation to ensure everything is running properly. Often, the company is able to know about a problem before you do and can even fix some problems remotely.
This feature shows that the company is committed to quality service — not just to getting your money at the time of installation. The company offers daily monitoring and yearly maintenance, which again, is more than we sometimes see with solar companies.
Certifications
Mississippi Solar was the first commercial contractor in the state to receive special classification for wind and solar. It is also certified by NABCEP — the primary professional certification organization for renewable energy providers in the country. The company is certified to install systems for top solar and electric brands including REC Solar, Enphase, Schneider Electric, Outback Power, SnapNrack, and others.
The Bad
- Geographically Limited
- Pricing Missing
Geographically Limited
As its name implies. Mississippi Solar operates in the state of Mississippi, but does not indicate which counties specifically. Even if all counties are covered, you can only take advantage of Mississippi Solar’s services and systems if you live in that part of the United States.
Pricing Missing
Mississippi Solar’s website doesn’t disclose its pricing information, nor does it indicate what financing options it has available. We don’t know if certain features like continuous monitoring cost more money or are included in the price of installation and service. These are all questions you would need to ask during your free consultation.
The Bottom Line
Mississippi Solar has plenty of experience working with top solar energy brands and has excellent communication systems in place to put your mind at ease. You’ll have to schedule a consultation in order to get pricing quotes, but if you live in Mississippi, we suggest taking this step with the company if you are interested in solar power for your home or business.
