I work for a local utility and hearing about the blackouts becoming a bigger possibility — as well as rising costs for power from out-of-state providers — got me interested in solar energy. We found out about this option from people I work with, and they said of all the solar companies we have dealt with, they recommended Illinois Solar Services.

Our system was activated in November 2022. Installation was conducted by Oberlander Electric, which handled everything and did a very nice job; I highly recommend their services. Since then, our monthly bills have done very well with solar credits carrying over in the summer and even fall months. We believe in 12 years at the current rate, the solar and batteries will pay for our portion of the loan. If your average electric bill is $250 or more, you should definitely do solar. We rate Illinois Solar Services a 10/10 — they are very understanding, very professional, very easy to work with, and when we have had trouble, they fixed it quickly.
