About Lightspring Solar - North Dakota Solar Design & Install
Lightspring, LLC is a solar design and installation company based in Bismarck, North Dakota, with a statewide network of installers and energy auditors. Founded in January 2018 after a year of research by a group of local North Dakotans, the company was formed to "do solar right" in the region. The co-founders are North Dakota natives educated at the University of North Dakota and North Dakota State University, and the firm emphasizes keeping jobs and investment within the state. The company provides turnkey solar photovoltaic, solar thermal, and battery storage systems for residential, commercial, and community-scale projects. Services include site assessment, custom design, permitting, interconnection, incentive and rebate filing (notably USDA Rural Energy for America Program grants), direct financing, installation, monitoring, and ongoing warranty support. Lightspring also offers solar air heating systems—selling 8TH FIRE solar thermal collectors—as a first step to reduce heating loads before adding PV. Over its first three years, the firm installed hundreds of kilowatts of solar PV and storage capacity. Lightspring serves homeowners, businesses, farmers, tribal communities, and educational institutions across North Dakota and Minnesota. Notable projects include the largest commercial rooftop system in Fargo (on the PRx building), a solar PV installation at United Tribes Technical College, and community-scale solar farms on agricultural land. The company also conducts solar installer training programs to build a local workforce. Lightspring differentiates itself through an "energy efficiency first" philosophy that reduces upfront solar costs by lowering consumption before sizing generation. Its three-step ethical solar approach—analyze efficiency, install solar thermal heating, then right-size PV—aims to deliver the most cost-effective clean energy. The firm operates a circular, community-led model, reinvesting locally and providing grant-writing expertise to help customers access federal incentives.
