    John and team were amazing to work with. They did the job during the timeline proposed and got everything setup before the ComEd net metering rules changed in 2025. Knowledgeable and reliable. Highly recommended

    Incredible service and even better people. I spoke with many, though this company seemed the most genuine, caring and knowledgable. John answered any questions or concerns I had throughly and gave me the confidence to move forward with the project. Riana was super helpful with the paperwork and the whole process was seamless. They also have an amazing team and it turned out to be a very enjoyable experience. I highly highly recommend Earth Wind and Solar to anyone considering Solar. Thank you!

    The best around. We had several companies provide quotes. This is the only company that actually came to the site to look before the quote. The other companies grossly over-estimated our output because they didn’t realize the building next to us cast a shadow on East roof. We had a great experience with everyone at this company, from John the owner and his wife all the way to each installer. They don’t contract anything out, so they stand by their projects. They walked us through every part of the project and made sure we got our rebates. They were recommended to us and we have recommended the

Its website also mentions free estimate, established and licensed, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

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.

What we don't know

  • 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.
  • 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.
