South Dakota Solar Installers

Hiring a Solar Installer in South Dakota

Buildermuse currently lists 5 solar installers in South Dakota, averaging 4.7 stars across 1,110 verified Google reviews. Every firm listed clears the 4.0-star bar, and with ratings this close together, review volume is the better tiebreaker — a 4.6 backed by hundreds of reviews usually beats a 5.0 with a dozen. Most of the crews above operate out of Rapid City, Sioux Falls, and Piedmont.

South Dakota licenses this trade at the state level: the Electrical credential is required for all work, regardless of project size. State license required through Electrical Commission. Verify any license directly with the issuing authority before signing a contract.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the South Dakota market sets the floor: construction workers here average $32.05 an hour — about $66,664 a year — across 30,910 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
