Peoria isn’t the sunniest region in the country. Yet, we consistently help homeowners reduce their monthly utility bills and environmental impact by harnessing the free sunshine hitting their roofs. In fact, installing roof solar panels is one of the easiest ways to generate financial and carbon savings. This is especially true when you partner with experienced solar photovoltaic (PV) installers who handle everything from design to engineering to financing.
From our headquarters in West Peoria, we even offer post-installation support and monitoring for the thousands of PV projects we’ve completed throughout the greater metro area.
One of the reasons solar is so attractive in Peoria is that homeowners qualify for a range of incentives, including:
Note that qualifying for these incentives isn’t automatic. However, at Route 66 Solar, we will file all the necessary paperwork on your behalf to ensure you receive the largest benefit possible.
Although cash is the simplest way to pay for a residential solar installation, many of our customers use low-interest loans to finance their PV systems. They then use their monthly utility bill savings to pay down the loan balance until the solar panels are completely theirs.
Regardless of how you finance your PV system, we offer post-installation monitoring to ensure your clean energy investment delivers the savings and carbon offsets we promised in your free, no-obligation solar quote. We only use premium solar panels with a standard comprehensive warranty to ensure peace of mind for years to come.
In the past decade, solar PV prices have fallen by more than 50%. By contrast, grid utility rates have doubled for many homeowners throughout Southern and Central Illinois (just in 2022 alone).
At Route 66 Solar, our mission is to help all 46,000+ households throughout the greater Peoria area understand the benefits of installing PV panels. Why continue paying the utility company exorbitant fees when a solar panel installation in Peoria, IL allows you to generate clean and free electricity from the sunshine hitting your roof?
With more than 5,000 PV installations under our belt, we are Peoria’s go-to solar contractor. If you’re looking to save money, shrink your carbon footprint and become more energy independent, our team of experts are here to help.

Solar panels generate electricity year-round and continue producing energy even on cloudy days. Peoria receives more than enough sunlight to make solar an effective solution for reducing energy costs.
Solar panels are built to withstand normal Illinois weather, including rain, snow, and moderate hail. However, severe storms can sometimes cause damage. After major hail or wind events in the Peoria area, a professional inspection can help ensure your system is operating safely and efficiently.
Signs of storm damage may include lower energy production, visible cracks, loose mounting hardware, or system alerts. Because many issues are not visible from the ground, a professional solar inspection is recommended after severe weather.
