Solar Panel Installation

We interviewed several companies for our home installation project and GRNE Solar was by far the best for quality versus price. They were not the least expensive but also not the most expensive. However, from start to finish they provided answers to all of our questions (and we had a lot of them!). During the installation they were very careful and handled everything beautifully. I myself am meticulous and professional and GRNE Solar is the same so they were a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough to recommend this company for your solar projects.

Excellent Installers

GRNE installed my solar in rural Illinois at a competitive price. They were quick to reply to all my questions. Very professional installers.

Reviews Helped

When I began to research solar, I wasn't sure what I was getting into. Energy Sage helped give me a basic understanding of what I needed to know to talk with installers and figure out what I wanted and what pricing was within line. GRNE was the most responsive of all installers, best priced once my project was fully flushed out, and highly rated of all of the installers that I looked at. GRNE ended up being the company that worked with me the best and was willing to go the extra mile to earn my business. I have a 10.18 KW system and 37 panels. Fairly large project for a house and these guys made it seamless.

Excellent service

I chose GRNE Solar in part because they had quoted the lowest price to install solar on our roof, but also because when I spoke to Eric on the phone he was always patient and exuded a sense of calm that made me trust him for this project without meeting him in person (although I'm sure I could have). Throughout the process, Eric did a great job communicating by email to take care of all the city permitting and utility setup, sending us documents for virtual signatures when needed. I spent a lot more time researching solar and then choosing a contractor than actually dealing with anything related to the installation because GRNE Solar took care of everything. I didn't meet Eric until the system was operational, which was great. GRNE Solar exceeded my expectations in every way. In particular, I was really impressed by just how EASY they made everything.

Great experience

GRNE were a great company to work with. Eric was very polite & knowledgeable. He answered all my questions about financing and explained the process of work really well. The install took a day and a half. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to add solar to their home.

Nelnet scumbags

This Company has been kicked off of ILSFA for a darn good reasons. They are a scam and scum of the earth. They sign contracts then don't honor them. They lie about every thing!!! They burn through employees as fast as the screw over customers. DO NOT EVER EVEN CONTACT THESE PEOPLE!!!
