About Us

Real Solar traces its origins to the Rural Renewable Energy Alliance, a nonprofit that was founded to help Minnesotans benefit from solar energy. Real Solar began operating as a self-standing subsidiary of the nonprofit in 2014. Based in Backus, Minn., the company has designed and constructed more than four megawatts of solar systems. 

​​

In 2023, Real Solar was purchased by Jesse Fette and Tom Lukken. The two have developed a strong understanding of the solar industry and are excited to contribute to Real Solar's future. 

​

Real Solar is comprised of a team of electricians, sales staff and operations personnel that work together to ensure we provide the best possible experience to our clients, from small off-grid projects to large-scale commercial customers.
