Its one and two star share is 6 points below the typical installer in the Springfield area. Across Illinois, 104 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 12 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

Each mark is one company we hold in the Springfield area whose Google breakdown has been read, placed by its share of one and two star reviews. Skydrop Energy is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

What reviewers said

  • 5★ · around August 2024 · the company replied

    Couldn't be more happy with my solar panels. I have no electric bill 10 months out of the year, a great warranty, American made panels, and Rich and the entire organization were so easy to work with. I highly recommend Skydrop Energy if you're thinking of going solar. They know their stuff and aren't selling any nonsense. This is the real deal! They helped me fill out the documents and prepare for my SREC and tax credits. At the end of the day, I got nearly 2/3rds of the project paid for by the government and/or through SRECs. There's no better time to go solar than right now. I'll break even

    Rich and Stacey offered the best of everything in our acquisition of a solar solution for our home. Professional installation by electricians, a 30 year warranty, and the best gear closed the deal at the best price we found. Everything was on-time, trustworthy, friendly. We highly recommend Skydrop!

    Great overall experience! All questions were answered asap. Smooth, from start of construction to completion. They took care of everything!

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 and established, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

    Elsewhere

    • It posts on Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

    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.
