What reviewers said

  • 5★ · around August 2025

    From start to finish, the solar install process was easy. The company handled all the technical stuff, and the crew did an amazing job. The panels are working great, and we’re loving the lower utility bills!

  • 5★ · around August 2025

    I couldn't be happier with the results of my solar panel installation. It's modern, efficient, and was completed on time as promised.

  • 5★ · around August 2023 · the company replied

    The crew is efficient and the job was done right and neat.

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 panels 3
  • efficiency 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.

  • Warranty

    “include warranties. However, the warranty policies differ from company to…”

  • Free estimate

    “312-598-1552 Call us today for your FREE ESTIMATE! Please enable JavaScript in your…”

  • Years in business

    “since we’ve been in the industry for more than 12 years of experience in bringing our…”

Its website also mentions financing, 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.
  • Google publishes no street address for this company, so we cannot say which town it is based in. Downers Grove 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.
