"Tim, the owner, came over to review what we needed. He ordered a new inverter, was very communicative and installed the new inverter once it was received. We could not be happier with the service Tim and Sunivation Solar provided for us, and we will not hesitate to call them back should we need anything again. Tim was extremely kind, very thorough and just did an excellent overall job. Thank you!!"

"My thermostat panel burned out. I was under warranty, fortunately. The panel was no longer being made so they replaced it with an upgraded thermostat panel at no cost. All I paid for was Labor. I have been using FourSeasons for many years and although they are a bit pricey, they are very professional and always get the job done. They also replaced the Circuit board on my furnace at no cost."

"We met Don at a home expo show.  We setup the appointment for that same week and he showed up on time.  He was able to schedule an evening consultation so I would not have to miss work.  His company worked with both GE and Generac, however GE had a better warranty, it is a smaller, more efficient unit and it allowed us to move 10 breakers over to the new switch panel compared to the Generac 8 KW model which only allowed for 8 breakers.  His quote was very concise and he explained that there would be additional costs bared by us that would be outside the quote.  These additional costs were village permit costs and the possibility of needing an updated gas meter installed, which we did.  At least it was nice knowing these extra costs were involved before signing a contract and being blind sided.  The unit with installation came in around $3,900 and we added an oil heater for $300 since we live near Chicago and the winters can be harsh.
After signing our contract, we had to wait a few weeks while our gas company looked over our appliances to determine if we needed a new gas meter, which we did (cost about $100).  Don gave us the form to send to the gas company where I had to go around the house and list all gas appliances and their BTUs.  As soon as the new gas meter was installed and the permit was pulled they were able to schedule us within a week.  Our installation took 2 days.  The first day the electrician came out and did just about all of the electric work.  He returned the next morning to finish up for an hour or two.  Then the gas man came out in the afternoon to finish the connection.  He even gave us a new T connection with shutoff valve for our propane grill which I have converted into natural gas.  After the hookup was complete, he tested the unit and showed me all the essential things I need to know about the unit and the switch panel. 
The entire crew was very professional and did everything right.  They made sure not to track any dirt or mud into the house, they cleaned up after themselves and they worked hard to get the job done right and quickly.  I would definitely recommend them to anyone interested in purchasing a generator for their house."

"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.

Solar Panels questions, answered by experts

Solar panels have a life span between 10 and 40 years, depending on the type of panel. For example, monocrystalline panels can last up to 40 years, while thin-film ones only last between 10 and 20 years. The longevity also comes down to keeping up with solar panel repairs and their related costs .

Yes, going solar really saves money. In fact, according to some calculations, the average homeowner who switches from electric to solar power will save almost $2,000 a year on energy costs. While buying solar panels and switching to solar can be costly up front, the savings add up over time. If you can sell back extra energy or take advantage of tax incentives, your savings can be even higher.

There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a local solar panel company before hiring them:

  • Will you handle permits for the installation?

  • Does your total price include the equipment and labor?

  • How long do you expect the installation process to take?

  • What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?

  • Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?

  • Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?

  • Will you file for solar incentives for me?

  • Installing a new electrical meter box

  • Replacing your meter base

  • Replacing your service entrance cable 

The cost to install or upgrade an electrical meter box ranges from $100 to $650, including $50 to $250 for the unit. The meter base passes the power from your electric company to your panel. The cost to replace a meter base is roughly $50 to $250. 

Service entrance cables are electrical cables with multiple wires, bringing power from electrical companies to residential buildings. The cost to replace a service entrance cable ranges roughly from $1,000 to $1,500.

Yes, it is possible to install solar panels on a tar and gravel roof, but it is not the ideal roofing material for a solar installation. The process requires roof penetrations to install the solar racking system. While installers will seal these penetrations, they still increase the risk of leaks. This risk is higher on tar and gravel roofs, which are often flat. Flat roofs are more prone to leaks than sloped roofs because they can pool water during heavy rain and hold snow for longer periods, exposing the roof to more moisture.
