Blue Horizon Energy does strong work and backs it up for the long haul. We found zero complaints about workmanship quality across nearly a hundred reviews, and 46 people praised their follow-up support after installation. One farmer called them three years after a competitor botched his 40-kilowatt system, and Blue Horizon replaced the failing components so thoroughly his panels now produce 30% more energy than the original setup. Another reviewer reached out six years post-install with a question and got an immediate answer. Reviews show the company excels at two things: accurate projections (one customer's dual-axis trackers saved $250,000 over 12 years, matching Blue Horizon's estimates) and patient problem-solving (when an inverter failed on a 2017 system, the team coordinated a replacement part, sent the original installer back to hook it up, and kept the customer updated through their busiest season). The crew cleans up meticulously. One farmer mentioned neighboring farmers stopped mid-harvest to ask questions, and the installers answered on the spot.
If you want a solar installer who'll still pick up the phone six years from now when your inverter hiccups, Blue Horizon is a safe choice. You won't get the flashiest sales pitch, but you will get a team that sticks around.
Ken Schluesner runs KJS Farms in Minnesota and had a 40-kilowatt solar system installed more than a decade ago. After years of problems with panels and inverters that the original installer never fixed, he ran out of options and reached out to Blue Horizon Energy. Three years ago Blue Horizon replaced many of the system’s key components, and the results were immediate: the array now produces about 30% more energy than before and his cooperative bill finally matches actual production. He’s left with a reliable, higher-output system and the one concrete payoff he wanted most — a corrected co-op bill that reflects the system’s true performance.
dterning chose Blue Horizon Energy to install a 100 kW solar array to offset electricity costs at the family Seed Company. The system went up in 2013, and with Blue Horizon’s help they secured a grant and the 30% tax credit while the company coordinated with Xcel Energy and the Public Utilities Commission. Together they evaluated dual-axis trackers; Blue Horizon installed 16 of those trackers, and over the next 12 years the increased generation shaved nearly $250,000 off the business’s electrical bills. Blue Horizon has remained prompt about repairs, component replacements, and upgrades, and the reviewer found them fair and honest to work with. The memorable takeaway is the concrete long‑term payoff: 16 dual‑axis trackers delivered almost a quarter‑million dollars in avoided energy costs over a dozen years.
Wallace Wadd had Blue Horizon install solar panels and a SolarEdge inverter on his home in 2017, and enjoyed years of steady production until September when the system suddenly stopped producing electricity. He worked with Ryan to troubleshoot the fault, and Ryan ordered a replacement SolarEdge inverter. The replacement took some time to arrive, but Ryan came back to install it and John—the electrician who handled the original install—returned soon after to hook everything up. Hal in sales kept the scheduling and communication moving despite their busy season. What stuck with him was the continuity of the crew and the follow-through: the original electrician came back and the company coordinated the repair until the system was reconnected with the new inverter.

Keith has kept Blue Horizon Energy in the mix for two separate solar projects at his family farming operation, and the payoff has been bigger than just lower bills. Over about seven years, the system has delivered the kind of performance it promised and helped the farm cut more than $120,000 in energy costs. What stood out most was how quickly the team stepped in whenever an issue came up, giving the farm the sense that the project was being watched by people who took responsibility seriously.
For the past 13 years, Terning Seeds has been living with a 96 kW solar array that Blue Horizon Energy designed and built for their property, and it has been covering about 75% of the electricity they use each year. That kind of long-term payoff is what stood out most here: a big system that kept doing its job year after year while the company behind it stayed approachable and straightforward. When service was needed only a few times over that span, the crew showed up on time, tracked down the issue quickly, and got the repairs done without dragging things out. After more than a decade, the lasting impression is of a team that built a substantial system and then remained dependable whenever it needed attention.
Christy and Joe made the decision to invest in a tracking solar system several years ago, and the experience with Blue Horizon Energy stood out from the start. After their first call, a sales representative had the information and pricing in hand within two days, giving them a clear path to decide. A couple of months later, the crews returned and finished the full build in under five days, with Blue Horizon handling every permit along the way. The state inspector came away genuinely impressed by the workmanship, and years later the system was still delivering the kind of satisfaction that comes from a company following through on its promises.
John Kiser had already trusted Blue Horizon Energy once, and the results were good enough that he brought them back for a second job on a finishing barn that had been steadily eating up more power as utility rates climbed. For a Midwest farm, the math had started to make sense only after he looked at solar as a way to slow those rising bills and factor in tax credits and depreciation, and the project turned into the kind of investment that felt obvious in hindsight. He had compared Blue Horizon with a couple of Minnesota firms, but this one kept rising to the top, helped along by the fact that several neighbors had gone the same route. What stuck with him most was the combination of solid workmanship and a team that stood behind it, the kind of reliability that matters when the roof is on a working barn rather than a suburban home.
John has four solar arrays tied to his hog operation, and they ended up performing right on forecast. In 2024, the system produced more electricity than the farm consumed, turning the property into a net energy producer and sending the excess power back to the grid. Over the years, he also found Blue Horizon’s service reliable whenever it was needed, and he especially enjoyed working with Barry and the rest of the sales team on a project that now helps power a working hog farm while putting surplus electricity back into the utility system.

Tom's system has been producing electricity for a number of years now with no problems. He found the installation seamless, and the hookup with his local REA went smoothly so billing and metering behaved from the start. He points neighbors who want to shrink their environmental footprint toward this company because the whole process was straightforward and reliable. The detail that still delights him: every so often the REA sends a check when the panels generate more than the household used.
Dan Malecha had solar panels put on his home and experienced attentive, professional service right through the installation. He then benefited from ongoing, reliable support for many years afterward — the relationship didn’t stop at handover, and long-term service was the thing that stood out.
Long-term satisfaction for Blue Horizon Energy holds steady at 5.0 ★. This is better than 76% of installers we looked at.
Long-term reviews carry the most weight in our methodology because they are most representative of what you should be paying for: a system that will perform for years.
