Here to help with your solar and energy storage solutions. Locally operated in East Peoria, IL with over 40 local representatives. For over 15 years we have been the biggest and the best. That’s why we are partnered with Costco, Home Depot, Nike, Ford, Tesla, solar recycle, and more. These companies lawyers did the research first so you don’t have to.

"Had solar installation on my home in Bloomington Normal. The installation crew was very professional and knowledgeable and efficient. My installation took around a day and a half. The roof panels look much nicer than i had anticipated. The Tesla panels on the side of the house look very nice. My sales rep / energy consultant (Rock Wiley) I cant say enough about. Extremely knowledgeable & professional kept me informed throughout the entire process. Was always available to answer questions & was on site periodically the day of installation. Walked me through setting up & understanding the apps. I had looked at solar energy companies for a couple years but wanted a local company as i do with all home projects & am glad I waited. My wife & I are super pleased with the entire experience & have several friends & family member getting an install. . Attached is a pic of my last year of Ameren bills. The last 2 are with SUNRUN .The $20 was my first full month. "

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

The best solar panels to withstand hail are those rated UL 61730. These solar panels are certified to withstand hailstones up to 3 inches in diameter and travel at speeds up to 88 mph. IP68 solar panels are the next most resilient solar panel. Solar panels without these ratings can handle hail up to 1 inch in diameter that travels up to 50 miles per hour. If you live in an area with frequent or severe hailstorms, purchasing UL 61730 solar panels is often worth the investment.

Yes, you can connect an inverter directly to your solar panels without solar battery storage if your home is connected to the power grid. However, most pros don’t recommend a direct connection because solar panels don’t put out steady voltage. It’s always best to install a charge controller between your solar panel and your inverter to regulate the flow of energy and ensure a stable power supply.

The average-sized home in the U.S.—around 2,500 square feet—will require between 15 and 34 solar panels to power the whole home. The specific number, however, will have less to do with home size and more to do with how much energy you use each year and the amount of sunlight in your region.

You shouldn’t hook up a solar panel directly to a battery. That can damage the solar battery and your appliances over time. Instead, install a charge controller between your solar panel and solar battery. Charge controllers regulate voltage, prevent overcharging, and minimize the amount of electrical current to protect your battery from voltage spikes.

Solar batteries can be a great investment to help maximize your solar savings and make your system and home more valuable, but they’re most beneficial to customers who don’t have access to net metering. If your state or energy provider doesn’t provide net metering, batteries can be a great way to offset consumption even when your panels aren’t producing power. They also come with the added benefit of providing electricity through blackouts, so they’re valuable in areas prone to severe weather that could cause frequent blackouts. Your installer can help you decide if batteries are worthwhile.
