Harness The Future Of A Clean Energy Economy

Most Illinois homeowners save between $800-$1,500 annually on electricity bills after installing solar panels. Your exact savings depend on several factors including your current energy consumption, local utility rates, system size, and available sunlight. With federal tax credits (currently 30%) and Illinois state incentives like Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs), many customers see their solar investment pay for itself within 7-10 years, while enjoying 25+ years of energy production.

llinois offers several incentives that significantly reduce the cost of going solar:

• The federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) provides a 30% tax credit on your solar installation costs
• Illinois Shines program offers Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) that can be sold for additional income
• Property tax exemptions ensure your property taxes won't increase despite the added home value
• Net metering allows you to receive credits for excess energy your system produces
• Some utilities offer additional rebates and incentives for renewable energy adoption

The actual installation of solar panels typically takes 1-3 days for residential systems, depending on system size and complexity. However, the entire process from signing a contract to system activation usually takes 2-3 months. This timeline includes site assessment, system design, permitting, installation, and utility interconnection approval. Our team handles all paperwork and permits to make the process as smooth as possible for you.

Today's solar panels typically last 25-30 years and continue producing electricity beyond their warranty period, albeit at slightly reduced efficiency. Solar panels require minimal maintenance—occasional cleaning to remove dust and debris, and ensuring they remain unshaded by growing trees or new structures. Our systems include monitoring software that alerts you and our team to any performance issues. We offer maintenance plans that include annual inspections, cleaning, and performance optimization to maximize your system's output and lifespan.

Standard grid-tied solar systems shut down during power outages as a safety measure to prevent backfeeding electricity into the grid while utility workers make repairs. However, if you add battery storage to your solar system, you can maintain power to essential appliances during grid outages. We offer various battery solutions that can be integrated with your solar installation or added later to provide backup power when you need it most.
