Springfield, IL

The capitol of Illinois now has access to solar power thanks to Iowa Solar!

Massive solar companies that are not local Midwestern companies like Iowa Solar have grown too quickly. If you choose a massive worldwide solar company for your solar power, you might wish you hadn't. These companies grew so fast that their reputations and customer service suffered as a result. In fact just to stay competitive, large solar companies are routinely merging, like Sunrun and Vivint did in July 2020. A local and family-owned solar installation company is the right choice for your solar power.

Solar is more affordable than ever with solar loans from our partners. Many of them charge no loan fees and incredibly low interest rates, making solar not just the right thing to do for the environment but incredibly affordable.

What about hiring the manufacturer to install solar?

Some solar panel manufacturers have started advertising solar installation services. But unfortunately very few solar panel manufacturers actually make their solar panels in America. Even California-based solar companies now make all their panels overseas. Massive solar manufacturers like LG, Panasonic, QCell, SunPower, Canadian Solar, and others typically make panels overseas to save on costs, a savings which is then passed onto the consumer. Some of these companies now offer installation services, but what that usually means is they subcontract installation to an installer like Iowa Solar or another local professional. You should instead go directly with Iowa Solar and be directly in touch with our professional team for your solar needs.

Why should Illinois choose Iowa?

Being based in Iowa gives Iowa Solar an advantage in installing solar, as we have a lot of experience doing solar in Iowa and we are properly licensed in most important jurisdictions in Illinois. Being just across the border brings you a cost savings because we are likely the most truly local solar installer you will find. Our offices in the Quad Cities are convenient and easily accessible and this makes us the perfect resource for your solar installation in Illinois.

What inverters do you use?

We install microinverters on most of our solar panel systems. This converts the DC power from the solar panel directly into AC power at the source, meaning we are usually not running many DC wires around your house. This greatly simplifies the solar installation process and enables us to provide excellent pricing and quick service for all our customers. Microinverters are an awesome technology that help you get more out of your solar panels by maximizing the amount of electricity generated. Electricity is lost in transmission when it is transmitted in Direct-Current (DC) form, and so the conversion done by our microinverter systems saves you significant money by improving your power generation.
