ELECTRIC RATES INCREASEd JUNE 1st
As utility rates skyrocket, more homeowners throughout Bloomington and Normal are beginning to explore solar panels for the home. Doing so allows these homeowners to generate clean electricity from the sun — rather than rely exclusively on the electricity grid.

This is why so many homeowners turn to us. We’ve installed thousands of professional solar rooftop systems in the area — complete with comprehensive design, engineering and financing to make sure your premium solar panels deliver the savings you were expecting.
From our offices in Bloomington, we also offer post-installation monitoring and support for all the photovoltaic (PV) installations we complete throughout the greater metro area.
A typical solar panel installation in Bloomington can cost many thousands of dollars. However, none of our customers pay full price. This is because we help them qualify for generous incentives such as:
Best of all, we process this paperwork on your behalf so that you don’t have to.
Although some of our customers use cash to pay for their PV systems, we can also help you finance your installation with a low-interest solar loan. You can then use your monthly utility bill savings to pay down the loan balance over time — until the solar installation is 100% yours.
Equally important, we offer post-installation monitoring to ensure that your PV system continues to generate the energy and savings outlined in your free solar quote.
In 2022, utility rates more than doubled for many customers throughout Southern and Central Illinois. Prices will only continue to rise in the future.
By contrast:
Imagine if all 175,000 residents of the greater Bloomington Metro area embraced solar power. Not only would they generate huge savings for themselves, but they would also help protect the planet for future generations.

Yes—solar is a smart investment for Bloomington homeowners. With utility costs continuing to rise, solar can significantly reduce monthly electric bills and provide long-term savings. Homeowners who own their solar systems generally receive the greatest financial benefits over the life of the system.
Solar panels are designed to generate electricity year-round, even during cloudy days and winter months. Bloomington receives plenty of sunlight to make solar a reliable and effective energy solution for homeowners.
Solar panels are built to withstand normal weather conditions, including rain, snow, and moderate hail. However, severe storms can occasionally cause damage. After significant hail or wind events in the Bloomington area, a professional inspection can help ensure your system is operating properly.
Signs of solar panel damage may include reduced energy production, visible cracks, loose mounting components, or system error notifications. Since many issues aren't visible from the ground, it's best to have your system professionally inspected following severe weather.
Yes—homes with owned solar systems often sell for more and attract buyers interested in lower energy costs and energy independence. Unlike leased systems, owned solar can add value to your property without requiring future buyers to assume a solar lease agreement.
Most solar panels are designed to last 25 to 30 years or longer. Quality solar systems installed in Bloomington can provide decades of reliable energy production while requiring very little maintenance. Systems have a standard warranty of 25 years giving you peace of mind for years to come.
Illinois solar incentives, local and supplier rebates along with net metering programs on certain suppliers are still available.
For most homeowners, owning solar panels provides greater long-term value than leasing. Ownership allows you to benefit from available incentives, maximize energy savings, and potentially increase your home's value. Leasing locks you into never ending payments and you may be responsible to buyout the system or pay for its removal should you relocate.
The first step is scheduling a free solar consultation. A solar professional will evaluate your home's energy usage, roof condition, and goals to determine the best system for your needs. Many Bloomington homeowners choose financing options that allow them to own their system while keeping monthly payments affordable all while gaining energy independence and long term financial freedom from supplier price increases.
