"Sunivation was our hero! When our original solar panel company, Sun Power, went out of business we did not have anyone to service or repair our system. Tim and Sunivation came to the rescue. He was able to find our problem within minutes, install replacement parts, and had our system up and running in no time. Not to mention the original defective parts he replaced just about started a fire. He was professional, polite, and informative. From now on Tim and Sunivation will be my first call whenever I have an issue with my solar panels. Thanks for everything Tim!"
"Grateful for Larry and the entire Surge Solar team. I am confident I made the right choice with them. If you have not looked into solar yet in Illinois you should!"
"The estimator was a really friendly guy and had a lot of information about the business that Kapital is in. Fortunately, although I had lots of questions, he was not pushy on services or needlessly verbose about them which I appreciate. He seemed to get what I was asking at every step.
We asked for an estimate for EVSE. We have a parking slab off the alley (so no garage w/ electric). We talked about lots of options for that. They seemed very comfortable with our situation which isn't entirely straight forward and I really appreciated that as I was afraid that many of the installers who do this work would want to walk away from any significant work.
We received an estimate for hooking into our panel and trenching a line through the back yard to the parking slab. We discussed using an existing basketball hoop mount as the mount point which the estimator was happy to consider (the stands for chargers are insanely expensive). We talked about solar on homes and parking canopies with solar as well.
Overall we are not ready to take the dive with this yet but I've come away with a decent understanding of the service, cost, and more. Kapital will be first on our list when it's time to move.

"The detail they took was amazing and very professional. We worked primarily with Art Meyer who was very helpful in recommendations, placement and approach. I would highly recommend the solar tubes as it brightens up two stairways so much better. They have never leaked and only needed one minor adjustment a few month after. They responded very quickly to make the adjustment. If you are thinking solar tubes, go with the larger size if you can. "

Yes, you have to get on the roof to cut a hole for solar tubing. It's not possible to complete the job from inside your house by simply cutting through the ceiling. So if you want to go the DIY route, remember to use safe ladder practices. If you’re not comfortable climbing on your roof to install solar tubes, hire a pro who has the tools and expertise to do the job safely.
You’ll need to make sure you have a big enough solar panel to meet your well pump’s power demands, but you can use solar power to fully operate your well pump. It’s also a good idea to have battery storage to hold the solar power so you can still use your well pump after dark.
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.
In most cases, solar panels are covered by homeowners insurance because they are considered a permanently attached part of the home, and you may not need additional coverage. However, it is essential to read the fine print of your specific policy to understand the extent of the coverage, as some policies might only cover certain types of damage, such as hail. Always check with your insurance provider before installing solar panels to ensure your policy provides adequate coverage for your investment.
Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.
