  Garrison was amazing to work with! He had thoughtful and detailed answers to my (many!) questions, patiently answered them all, and gave great advice above and beyond. He is totally reliable and trustworthy, and a pleasure to interact with. By now, our electricity bills are down to $0, and I can at any time check on the app how much electricity our panels are (over)producing. I found Garrison/ Celestar thanks to someone else's recommendation, and I am hereby paying it forward: if you are at all thinking about installing solar, Garrison is your guy!

  Garrison, the owner of Celestar Solar, is both knowledgable and passionate about the solar industry. He explains things very thoroughly, and is very patient in working with people who have limited knowledge of the industry. We spoke to several other solar companies before finding our way to Celestar, and the difference was night and day. I have a relative who spent time as CEO of a solar-related company, and he confirmed that Garrison's recommendation for our installation was spot-on.

  This past Fall my husband and I decided to pursue installing solar panels on our roof, but didn’t really know where to start. We looked into both renting the system and also buying it outright, and decided to go with Celestar Solar to install our solar. Garrison was incredibly helpful to work with and honest and upfront about everything. We were never made to feel like any of our questions were too small or silly, and Garrison was super knowledgeable and experienced and very good at breaking down all the confusing aspects of solar panels so that the average person (us) could understand and fee

  “to get the job done. You will have a licensed master electrician, supervising…”

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

• —The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
• —Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. Lincolnwood is the area its listing was returned for, not an address we hold.
• —We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
• —We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
