Why Solar?

In 2007, Illinois electricity rates jumped drastically for consumers, for most 30-60%, for some almost 100%, after a ten-year rate freeze expired. For many, this came as a shock and caused consumers to cut back on other necessities to compensate. With solar power, you lock in your utility rates. No more surprises.

If you're here, chances are you've looked into solar power before, but in case you need to know more, we are here to help you. The benefits of solar power are infinite in both residential and commercial settings.

Lower your bills - solar energy will help drastically reduce your utility bills with minimal environmental impact. With the rising costs of fuel, there is no better time to move to a renewable source of energy.

Environment - the use of solar power leaves no carbon footprint, creates no pollution, and does not harm the environment. Solar power allows consumers to use the sun without relying on electric cables and gas.

Potential for income - if properly sized, some houses and buildings can actually generate income from their solar panels by selling excess energy back into the local power-grid (for photovoltaic cells only) called Net-metering.

FACT: In 2006, the average American carbon dioxide emissions were 20 metric tons.
