Detailed Profile

SolQ has made a name for themselves in eastern Iowa by combining technical precision with genuine customer care. Based in Hills, a small community south of Iowa City, they have spent 7 years building a client base that extends across the Iowa City-Cedar Rapids corridor and beyond.

What earned SolQ the top ranking in Iowa was the quality of their installations relative to the competition. In a state where many solar companies are offshoots of existing roofing or electrical firms, SolQ was built from the ground up as a solar company, and that specialization shows in their system designs. Their 4.8-star Google rating from 413 reviews demonstrates that Iowa homeowners have noticed the difference.

The company is NABCEP certified and works with a range of equipment brands to suit different budgets and energy goals. Their team analyzes each customer's utility bills, roof orientation, and shading patterns before recommending a system, which results in better-performing arrays and more accurate payback projections.

SolQ understands the Iowa-specific incentive landscape, including the sales tax exemption and 5-year property tax exemption for solar equipment. Their coordinators handle all paperwork with Alliant Energy and MidAmerican Energy, streamlining the interconnection process.

With a composite score of 74.9, SolQ is our top-ranked solar company in Iowa for 2026.
