Cedar Creek Energy Team

With over 40 years of combined engineering, design, construction, installation, energy management and project management experience, your team at Cedar Creek Energy understands what it takes to help you find the best solutions to minimize your carbon footprint using the power of the sun. CEO Rob Appelhof established Cedar Creek Energy in 2007. The founding of our Blaine, Minnesota, solar installation company coincided with the 2008 recession. We understood as we witnessed how many companies in the construction industry became victim to skyrocketing energy prices, that the path to sustainability would be found in renewable energy sources. Since that time, in a little over 14 years, our company has grown to build thousands of successful commercial and residential solar panel installations, of every size, including rooftop and ground-mounted solar, across Minnesota. We are your local MN solar company with a history you can trust.
