- of the 4 reviews we hold
Its one and two star share is 19 points above the typical installer in Springfield. Across Illinois, 24 of the 183 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.
The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 4 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

What reviewers said
5★ · around August 2020
EFS was recommended to me by someone who had worked with them previously. My system was just installed and has been running for a few days. EFS was very easy to work with and did the work quickly. The personnel at EFS are knowledgeable and helpful (excellent) and I enjoyed speaking with every one. My Chevy Bolt will now get its power from the sun not coal or gas.
5★ · around August 2017
EFS Energy is a fantastic company to work with. They handled everything from the electrician to our electric cooperative. Our solar panels were up and running within 3 days from the time they started working. Their employees are professional and courteous. I cannot say enough good things about this company and would highly recommend them without any reservations.
Reviewer names are not published here. Negative reviews are shown first because they are the ones a listing hides, not because they are more representative.
What reviewers keep mentioning
- running 2
Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.
What the company says about itself
Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.
Its website also mentions free estimate, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.
Elsewhere
- It is also reviewed on the Better Business Bureau and Yelp. Worth reading before you sign anything: those are a different crowd, and the complaints that reach the Better Business Bureau rarely reach Google.

As Google published them when we last read the listing, not a live check. Ring before you drive anywhere.
Who Google shows alongside them
Google’s own “people also viewed” set, in Google’s order. It is Google’s comparison, not ours.

The ones without a link have no page here, either because Google does not categorise them as solar businesses or because we could not match the name to a listing with confidence.

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.
