TESTIMONIALS

“iDEAL Energies made things easy for me and our District. We had a goal of maximizing our on-site solar footprint so that Eden Prairie could focus spending on our students. With no capital expenditures on our part, Ideal custom tailored a solution to meet our special requirements, executed on it professionally, and generated immediate and sustainable savings. They even developed a classroom-ready education module for our kids. I can’t recommend Ideal Energies highly enough.”

“iDEAL worked with the City to evaluate our existing buildings for on-site solar. We installed solar arrays on our Community Center, Public Works, Water Treatment and Public Safety buildings. They made it easy for us to meet our renewable energy goals, and I would recommend other Cities work with iDEAL Energies!”

“iDEAL made it so easy, I had to say yes! I like the idea of making money and saving the planet. It’s good for business. We have an especially great relationship with iDEAL, and we installed solar arrays at all our locations. That’s good business at its best. Just do it! You will not regret this decision.”

“To preserve the City of Mendota Height’s environmental beauty and realize long-term utility cost savings, we installed iDEAL Energies solar arrays on four city buildings. Today they provide 57% of the power for City Hall and are projected to save over $1 million for the city over the life of the solar arrays.”

“We were interested in solar energy because we believed environmental citizenship advanced our school's mission and the economic savings and educational benefits were advantageous. Although our array was only recently installed, our school community has identified our vision and values with this project, and we look forward to the ways in which our future operations will be further impacted by this initiative. We chose iDEAL Energies because we appreciated their knowledge and patience as well as trusted their outreach to us regarding this project. We were perhaps most impressed by the timeframe in which everything was completed, from the site design and assessment to the building and commissioning of the solar array.

iDEAL PHILOSOPHY

Solar is our sole purpose for being in business. Our company was founded back in 2010 because we saw a bright future for Minnesota’s solar industry. We also saw incentive programs that were hard to navigate, financing options that were sub-par or nonexistent, and installers that knew how to turn a wrench but not how to manage all of the many nuances that make for a successful and professional project. So, we built a business model around that.

With a multi-faceted team of professionals, we do more than just “ride the solar coaster”, we actively work to influence its future. This ensures that it continues to work for the businesses that can benefit from it the most. Since then, iDEAL Energies has constructed over 400 commercial solar projects in both the for-profit and public sector. Our extensive experience allows us to offer comprehensive, unparalleled solar power solutions.
