5.0 rating on EnergySage
Elite+ installers are the most experienced, chosen, and celebrated companies on the Marketplace, having provided exceptional service to a high volume of shoppers for at least a year.
The sales process was very helpful – but not too salesy or pushy. Very direct and honest. The team that installed the panel system was super friendly and kind… The entire crew has done a fantastic job keeping up up to date on next steps. I highly recommend them.
From the first meeting with Centauri to the final inspection, we have had nothing but positive experiences. We got three estimates (including from one of the largest solar installers) and we chose Centauri. Every single time I called or emailed (which was a lot) I got a response back immediately.
I really enjoyed this group from the beginning, helpful and friendly. They got the job done fast and efficiently! It took them just 3 days to install and within a couple of weeks it was online. After the first billing month, the system has produced at or just above their predicted amount. I would definitely go back to them again!
They came in with the most competitive offer out of all the quotes I received while providing the best warranty and the best panel/inverter combo out of the quotes. Each step of the way, Centauri Systems made the project easy to understand, transparent and communicated above and beyond my expectations.
I selected Centauri because I believe they had the best overall mix of quality products, competitive pricing, responsiveness, and expertise. I am experienced at purchasing this type of system, having done so once before. I am an engineer with fairly in-depth knowledge of the technology and requirements. I was impressed that Centauri knew what they were talking about regarding best selection and configuration of the system.
When it came down to comparing the quotes, it was a no brainer. Dylan was extremely knowledgeable and willing to teach about the ins and outs of solar systems from installation to how they convert solar energy to electricity to how the energy will be fed to the grid as well as what I will see on my end and what the numbers mean.
We’re Proud of our work
We did all that!
and a whole lot more!

That means that you work with us from start to finish.

Amount Owed
Net metering in Minnesota is a billing arrangement that allows residential and commercial solar panel owners to receive credits for excess electricity they generate and feed back into the grid. These credits can offset future electricity costs when their solar panels aren’t producing enough energy.

Inverter Options
An inverter in a solar panel system is like a magic translator box that takes the silent, sun-powered language of your solar panels and turns it into usable electricity for your home, so you can power your lights, appliances, and gadgets. It basically converts the sun’s energy into something your building can understand and use.

Payment Choices
Pay in Cash
If you do not need financing services, paying for your solar investment in cash is always an option and has the fastest pay-off.
PACE Financing
Through the Minnesota Housing and Finance Agency (MHFA) and the Minnesota Department of Commerce, CEE offers home energy loans for Minnesota homeowners to make energy improvements in their homes.
Business Loans
Commercial solar loans harness tax credits and depreciation, lowering energy costs and boosting Net Operating Income. Borrowed capital for the system and installation is repaid with interest over time.
Tax Credit30%
Commercial solar installations benefit greatly from a 30% tax credit and depreciation ranging from 20% to 30%, depending on the tax rate, which significantly reduces the overall cost and increases the financial returns.
