Who We Are
Rapid City Solar is a locally based solar design and installation company serving Rapid City and the entire Black Hills region. We design and install rooftop and ground-mount solar, add battery backup, and help homeowners and businesses understand the federal 30% tax credit and South Dakota net metering. Every project starts with a free solar design built from your actual power bills, so you make the call with real numbers instead of a sales pitch.
We are not a national chain dropping in to sell a system and disappear, and we are not a high-pressure crew chasing a quota. We are a licensed and insured local team built for the Black Hills, with designs tuned to how the sun behaves on the high plains: clear, dry air and strong direct sun, cold winters that actually improve panel efficiency, and snow that slides off a tilted array within a day or two. We design around the property you actually have.
Our service area covers the full Black Hills region: Rapid City, Box Elder, Black Hawk, Summerset, Piedmont, Spearfish, Deadwood, Lead, Hill City, Custer, Hermosa, Hot Springs, Belle Fourche, Wall, and Sturgis. We work on homes, ranches, off-grid cabins, and commercial buildings. From south-facing rooftops in town to ground-mount arrays on open ranch land, we size each system to the property and the sun it gets.
We are committed to honest numbers. We do not promise a fixed payback period or guarantee specific savings, because those depend on your usage, your system, your utility rates, and the incentives you qualify for. What we promise is a free design with the assumptions shown, clear guidance on the tax credit and net metering with a recommendation to confirm tax details with a professional, a clean licensed install, production monitoring, and a 25-year panel performance and workmanship warranty. Call (605) 555-0600.

Our Story
We started Rapid City Solar because the Black Hills has some of the best high-plains sun in the region and deserves a solar team that gives straight answers about it. Too many homeowners get a flashy pitch with a guaranteed-payback number that falls apart under questioning. We wanted to do the opposite: build a free, honest design from a customer's actual power bills, show every assumption, and let the real numbers make the case.
We are committed to doing right by every homeowner and business we serve. That means a free design before anything, systems sized around your full-year usage rather than a sunny afternoon, plain-English guidance on the federal tax credit and your utility's net-metering policy, and a recommendation to confirm tax details with a professional. We handle the permits, the utility paperwork, and the install with our own licensed crew, set up monitoring, and back the work with a 25-year warranty. Honest, local, and built to last is the entire promise.
