An intentionally small business that ensures personal attention to your project.
Meet The #1 Residential Solar Installer In Wisconsin
A Local Solar Energy Team Designed to Support You
One of the reasons Home Team Energy exists is because we saw what was happening in a rapidly expanding solar industry. When companies get big, their teams balloon and customer service becomes standardized (and, too often, substandard).
Your energy situation is unique to you, and that means your service should be too.
That’s what we mean by an “intentionally small business.” If we’re so big that our owner, Ryan Lettau, can’t personally meet with you—we’re too big. This way, we can tailor our services to your exact needs so you never feel unsupported before, during, and after the process of upgrading to solar energy.
Home Team Energy is comprised of Solar Energy experts. We specialize in Residential Solar Installations, we employ our own installation crew to ensure high quality and consistent solar energy installations.

Meet Ryan Lettau, Owner of Home Team Energy
Ryan established Home Team Energy in 2019 after a decade of experience in the solar energy industry. After graduating from Milwaukee School of Engineering in 2008 with a degree in Architectural Engineering, Ryan first worked for a roof consulting company where he incorporated solar into the existing business model.
After that, he moved on to a solar development company in 2010 and saw how rapid expansion led to a collapse in attention. Larger teams with more jobs over a larger region meant less time per client.
So in 2019, with a garage full of solar panels, Ryan started a family business called Home Team Energy. His wife Shelly worked with permitting and logistics, and his young sons help with clean-up and washing the trucks. Together, they began a company designed to maximize support and service for their clients.
After seeing how businesses can focus more on profits over people, Ryan—and now the team too—is on a mission to show that hard work, integrity, and treating people with dignity and respect should be the real focus of a successful business.
In 2022, the Lettau Family added a Tesla Model Y to their fleet, which is powered by their roof mounted solar array!
Home Team Energy has installed over 9,000 Solar Panels Across more than 500 Residential Solar Installations.

Great service. They took care of everything from contacting WE Energies and the city to timely set up and cleaning up after the job.

Ryan at Home Team stood out from the beginning with a solid, reasonable initial proposal. We met with Ryan (and a couple other companies, just to be sure) and he was informative, took the time to explain everything clearly, and answered our many questions with patience. We appreciated his honesty as well; we weren't sure we needed battery storage and Ryan assessed we did not- which would have nearly doubled the cost of the project. A less honest company would have tried to convince us we did need them for the bigger project profit. Ryan also had prepared a detailed breakdown (and recorded a video walkthrough!) of our system, what we can expect, and options of a lower cost system or higher cost, with pros and cons listed for each. His install team was prompt, polite, and hardworking, and kept us informed of progress daily. Hire Home Team with full confidence they are an honest, reputable company with great communication and delivery.

We reached out to Home Team with the intent of eventually putting in solar. After only a few communications with Ryan we quickly decided to go for it. Ryan did an amazing job answering all our questions. He is extremely knowledgeable and provided easy to understand answers. The entire team was professional and great to work with. Even if you're not sure you want solar yet, I recommend reaching out and at least starting the conversation.

It was such an amazing experience working with Home Team Energy. Everything was delivered with quality, on time and on budget with professionalism. I cannot emphasize enough the great experience that we had. We highly recommend them for the solar energy projects. They installed our residential solar power system in about 3 months, from contract to turn up.

Thank you Home Team Energy
Installed Sept 5th and 6th
Your process in consulting us for a potential solar project was top notch. From reviewing our needs and then quoting our project was done in a timely and HONEST manner.
We had others quote this project as well and found your truthfulness and professionalism was our deciding factor in choosing Home Team Energy.
The install team was efficient and their work product was impeccable. Working in 90°+ weather for 2 consecutive days with no complaints, I quote one of the younger installers "This is our job" this was echoed by the others.
I can not wait for the utility company to commission the project. I will update this with more once the project is commissioned.

Had a good experience working with the team at Home Team Solar. Not only was it well priced, but there were very transparent about all of our options and what those would cost. They didn't try and force us into long term solar financing as some of the other proposals did, but instead gave us the options with the pros and cons. The actual install went very smoothly, and they communicated with us a lot about the process. Even came out to make a small correction on something that they noticed was slightly off from the pictures.
I would use this business again, and recommend anyone thinking about solar to get a proposal from them.

I would give them 6 stars if possible. They were incredibly thorough, responsive, and organized. They were able to seamlessly install 2 solar systems on both my house and my neighbors in the same 2 day window. Ryan will also respond to messages after the install should questions arise (I just bought a Tesla the year after the solar install and he was a great resource for charging options/optimization). They are the only company I think of or recommend when it comes to solar installs in the Milwaukee Metro.

5 Star and then some! I was left without a solar company when Moxie Solar went bankrupt. Home Team promptly answered the call for help and has gone above and beyond. Their service and quality are excellent and they work quickly. Simply amazing!

We contracted with Home Team Energy for our residential solar panel project. Our experience was wonderful (excellent communication, fair pricing, and professional installation) and I highly recommend for your solar needs. Thank you Home Team Energy!
