Are you ready to go SOLAR!
Solar FAQ Section
Simple - No one owns the Sun & it can not be taxed! The sun will never send you a bill & you never will have to send them a payment!
Oil, Coal, and Gas, which are used for power plants, are owned & taxed. Big Business & Corporations!
ComEd pays people to go solar! Why would they do that? Pay you to harvest and produce your home's energy, and not have to buy it from them? Seems weird, right? Must be a good thing.
Going Solar, if your home qualifies, is a guaranteed investment for you and your family's future. In 5 years, if you do not go solar, the amount you have to pay the local utility company monthly anyway, will be more than the net cost to go Solar in Illinois!
On July 1, 2025, the U.S. Senate passed the sweeping “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBBA), marking a major shift in clean energy policy that will have far-reaching consequences for solar customers, installers, and the industry as a whole.
One of the most significant impacts of OBBBA is the accelerated phase-out of the federal solar tax credit. For residential systems (Section 25D), the 30% credit will expire on December 31, 2025.
Another key change: OBBBA eliminates the tax credit for battery backup (energy storage) systems, whether installed with solar or not. The solar tax credit was expanded to include battery backup systems in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. Homeowners must install battery backup with or without solar by Dec. 31, 2025, to take advantage of the tax credit on their energy storage system.
Losing the 30% solar tax credit can add thousands of dollars to your out-of-pocket costs. A $25,000 solar system today would be eligible for a $7,500 tax credit. After 2025, that benefit disappears entirely for homeowners. This added cost can create a significant barrier to installing solar and finding relief from increasing energy bills. This is especially true of middle- and low-income households who are most impacted by energy price inflation and utility price hikes.

Now is the time to own your Home & Energy while using the 30% Tax Credit to help offset the cost!
You have to pay taxes every year, no matter what. You can reduce your tax liability and reinvest that money towards owning your home's energy source. Finally, you can control where your tax dollars are going!
Solar panels convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is used to power your home.
All excess electricity produced is sold back to the utility company for others to use, and you receive credit for that.
Solar power is a renewable energy source that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps combat climate change.
It also provides energy independence, and you are no longer under the utility company's control to pay what they say! You never know the cost until you get the bill. You should own your home's energy if you own your home!
Did you know ComEd raised the monthly price in January this year by over $ 10? Plus, another over 50% increase to your supply cost in June 2025 - just in time for A/C Season!

Is my roof suitable for solar panels?
Most roofs are suitable, but factors like roof condition, angle, and shading can affect efficiency. We can provide you with a professional assessment to determine suitability.
How long does the installation process take?
The installation typically takes 1-2 days, but due to permitting and inspections, the entire process from signing a contract to system activation can take up to 12 weeks. Contact us today for a FREE Home Energy Report!
What happens if there's snow on my solar panels?
Snow usually slides off solar panels due to their smooth surface and angle. Panels can still generate electricity with light snow coverage
