Solar Power for Homes
Power Your Home for Less
Keeping your home comfortable year-round is more expensive than ever, especially with rising utility rates and ongoing inflation. For many Illinois homeowners, solar energy offers a smart, long-term solution. By installing solar panels, you can significantly reduce your monthly electricity bills while lowering your household’s carbon footprint. It’s an investment that pays off in both savings and sustainability.
Benefits of Solar
Homeowners are discovering Illinois is a great place to go solar because of the combinations of net metering, property tax exemption, and the federal tax credit.
Net Metering. Any excess solar power your panels produce is sent to your utility grid. Your utility company will then credit your account, further lowering your monthly bill. For example, Ameren customers may be eligible for a $300/kilowatt rebate through the company’s distributed generation program.
Property Tax Exemption. Solar panels are completely property tax exempt, so you can enjoy all the added value to your home without paying any extra in taxes
Federal Solar Tax Credit. The federal solar tax credit allows you to deduct 30% of the cost of solar installation from your federal taxes.
High Dependability, Low Maintenance. With our 30-year warranty covering the panels, microinverters, and installation, you don’t have to worry about what to do if something goes wrong. We go further than just the manufacturer’s warranty!
Given the limited time incentives offered by the state and federal governments, now is the best time to act on harnessing the power of the sun for your home!

- What is net metering?
Net metering allows you to send excess energy your solar panels produce back to the utility grid. You earn credits that reduce your future energy bills — maximizing your savings.

- Will solar increase my property taxes?
No. Illinois offers a property tax exemption for solar systems, meaning your home’s value can go up, but your taxes will not.
- What if I sell my home after installing solar?
Solar panels can increase your home’s value and appeal to buyers. Studies show homes with solar often sell faster and for more than homes without.

We ensure every installation is done by certified professionals who preserve the integrity of your roof. In fact, solar panels can help protect the roofing material beneath them.
- Can I go solar if I have a shaded roof or limited space?
Our team will assess your property to determine the best solution. If your roof isn’t ideal, ground-mounted systems or partial offsets may still make solar worthwhile.
