Its one and two star share is 18 points above the typical installer in the Springfield area. Across Illinois, 25 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 17 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. Solarships is the red one. The amber line is the middle of that set, which includes suppliers and maintenance businesses as well as installers.

    THIS COMPANY HAS LIED AND LIED TO US REGARDING OUR SOLAR INSTALL, OUR BATTERIES HAVE NOT WORKED IN 3 MONTHS, PLUS NUMEROUS TRIPS WITH ZERO RESULTS. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AT YOUR OWN RISK
  • 2★ · around March 2026

    Solar ships & Prolux failed us , we signed up for Solar took all of our private information and we found out 3 months later they decided to cancel our contract without any explanation from anyone. Terrible customer service and should not be aloud to continue. Heck 😥

    Pro Lux/Solar Ships has always just been a phone call away to hear my concerns and with their knowledge, fix my problems. They have gone above my expectations to meet the moment and make it right!

    Very easy to work with, love the look of my panels. They did everything they said they would do and were ahead of schedule

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

  • solar panel installation 3
  • calls 2
  • gene 2
  • crew lead 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.

  • Years in business

    “and Brad Vargas, solar experts with over 25 years of combined experience in solar. We…”

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

Elsewhere

  • It posts on Instagram and 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.

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.

Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
