Meet The Founder

Rickey Sipila

Hello I'm Rickey!


I'm a young solar professional looking to make the most of my abilities to help combat the climate crisis.

The inspiration that led to the creation of Sisu Solar stems from my involvement in solar car racing. As a long time member of the University of Minnesota Solar Vehicle Project, I have helped build and race a full-sized car that can run completely off solar power. This experience got me interested in solar power which led to me to get an internship at a solar installation company called TruNorth Solar. Now with my own solar company, I have installed dozens of solar photovoltaic systems and am looking to bring more solar to Minnesota (specifically the Iron Range, which is where I am from!)

About: Meet the Team

Over the course of my career, I have learned all there is to know about solar installation and have helped install over a Megawatt of solar on residential rooftops, ground mounts, and commercial flat roofs.

With a NABCEP associates degree, OSHA certification, major in industrial and systems engineering at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and minor in Leadership, I am highly qualified to install solar for you. I have studied the manuals of all the different types of solar panels, inverters, and racking. I even created a 50-page standardized operating procedure for mechanical solar installation for pitched roofs.

I want to install as many solar systems as I can. Solar technology is one of many glaring solutions that will help the world become more sustainable. I'd like to spread the word and help people install solar themselves! 

I am always available to talk with you about your solar needs!


My number is 218-248-0212. Call me anytime!
