What Our Customers Say
“My wife and I were very skeptical and were not going to do solar but with federal tax credits, rebates and SREC from Ameren and Illinois it became cost effective. Ryan explained everything in detail and never pressured me for an answer. I have 41 panels. My Oct and Nov electric bill was $10 each month. What I liked the best was Ryan stayed on top of the project from start to finish. Call Ryan, he is trustworthy and always stays engaged.”

Bruce Brooks
Shiloh, IL
“Ryan Cook was outstanding in his knowledge and responsiveness to any questions. He knew we needed my solar system installed by a certain date and the company made it happen. I have had a minimum $10/month Ameren electric bill ever since my system was installed in June 2023. I also had them install a Generac 22kw generator this fall with no issues.”

Rod Hinrichs
Freeburg, IL
“I was more than impressed with Ryan's willingness to listen to what my expectations were regarding the solar panels. He gave me information on three different companies, the equipment that they use, and their contact information. He called several times during the installation to follow-up on how things were progressing. He is knowledgeable, caring, and a really good listener. I highly recommend any person considering installing solar panels to discuss companies with Ryan.”
Linda Haycraft
Shiloh, IL
“I recently decided to switch to solar panels for my home, and it's been a game changer! The whole process seemed a bit daunting at first, but Ryan Cook worked with me and made it incredibly smooth. He walked me through the different options, helping me find the right system for my needs without any pressure. If you're considering solar, I highly recommend it — Ryan is the guy to set you up.”
Christine D Roussel
Illinois
“Ryan was easy to work with, with all the paperwork. Everything done online and Ryan lets you know about every step to take. And the installers were fast and did a great job. Needed a new breaker box and they put that in too. And it's all free. It's a no brainer!”
