Ryan Cook, Founder

Since 2021, I've helped over a hundred Illinois families go solar — cash, finance, and lease. The solar market changes fast, and I make it my job to stay ahead of it so my customers always get the best deal available.

Last year, cash purchases made the most sense for most homeowners. This year, with the residential tax credit gone, leasing is the smarter move for the majority. But we still have competitive cash pricing — we source equipment in bulk to keep costs as low as possible for every customer, no matter which path they choose.

My job is simple: examine what's best for your situation in today's market, and give you honest numbers.

Our Approach

The solar industry changes every year — rates shift, incentives evolve, new equipment hits the market. We stay at the forefront so you don't have to. Whether it's a $0 down lease, a cash purchase with bulk equipment pricing, or the Solar for All program, we find the path that saves you the most money right now.
