How Home Solar in Illinois Works

Home solar systems in Illinois are a way for homeowners to use sunlight to power their homes. 

Solar panels, usually placed on the roof, capture sunlight and turn it into electricity. A device called an inverter changes this electricity into the type your home can use to run appliances and lights. 

Solar energy lowers your electric bills, reduces dependence on the power grid, and is better for the environment because it doesn’t produce pollution. It can also increase your home’s value and give you more control over your energy costs. 

It’s a simple, eco-friendly way to save money and make your home more efficient.

Why Invest In Residential Solar In IL?

Reliable Backup Power

A solar system with battery storage ensures your home stays powered even during outages. Keep critical appliances like refrigerators, heating systems, and lights running, allowing uninterrupted household activity. This reliable backup supply offers peace of mind, ensuring your family’s comfort and safety during unexpected power failures.

Energy Savings

Homeowners who switch to solar in Illinois typically save $800–$1,200 annually on electricity bills, with lifetime savings of $20,000–$30,000 over 25 years depending on the size of the system. With energy rates continuing to rise, there’s never been a better time to make the switch to residential solar panels.

Environmental Benefits

A 5-kilowatt (kW) solar system reduces your carbon footprint by approximately 6,000 pounds of CO2 annually—the equivalent of planting 100 trees or saving 300 gallons of gasoline each year. Take a stand for a greener future while lowering your environmental impact today!

Boost Home Value

Solar panels increase property value by an average of 4.1%, adding approximately $10,000 to a $200,000 home. Plus, Illinois’ property tax exemption for solar ensures this increase doesn’t raise your tax bill.

When I wanted to have an Erie Metal Roof put on my home, our Solar Panels needed to be remove and reinstalled on the new roof. ECOcentrix was able to complete both tasks working around the installation of our Erie Metal Roof. (June/July 2025)

Eco centrix did a great job on our siding and overhang. Trevor cleaned up and was careful to get the nails and debris. Thanks because my wife is happy now.

ECOcentrix just finished our new roof in less than a day and a half on our large 1.5 story house in Creve Coeur. Because we have 2 dogs, it was important to us that they ensure that our lawns get cleaned afterwards, and indeed, their workers spent a lot of time scouring to pick everything up completely! They were hard-working & professional in every aspect, and the project manager Trevor is especially helpful and easy to work with. We highly recommend this company!!!

Very professional team. Entire process was done with customer service in mind. Communication was exceptional, install was great and after install support exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend this company and solar installation even with tax benefits going away for home ownership. Savings will pay for the system in a few years and you are never impacted by rate increases.

If you’re considering solar, ECOcentrix is the company that you will want to go with. Incredible customer service, went above and beyond expectations. All aspects from the planning process to project completion were completed with professionalism and meticulous care. Every step was explained and dummied down so we could understand what would be happening as it was being done. Every Call/text was answered in a timely manner. Absolutely 💯 satisfied with finished project! Thank you Aaron, Sarah, requesta Adam and Trevor for your patience and professionalism for my sometimes petty requests!
In an effort to take advantage of the Illinois subsidized solar system program for our business, we responded to a few different solar system installer’s ads. Aaron, from Ecocentrix, stood out as the one person who seemed to be able to sit down with us and REALLY explain, in depth, just about everything there was to know about solar and how the Illinois Shines program worked. He was so knowledgeable and worked with us in every aspect, from the application for the solar program, to the application for financing, to signing all of the documents, to keeping everything on track in order to meet deadlines and make it all happen.
Very shortly after the installation was complete a tornado ripped our roof off of our building and the entire solar system with it. Aaron and his team were ‘on it’ almost immediately, surveying the situation and offering their assistance. Happy to say, with their dedication, everything is all replaced and running smoothly now.
We have only experienced about 1 month of solar usage so far, but have noticed a significant difference in our electric bill, of about 80%. We don’t have as many daylight hours or a lot of sunshine now, but being newly installed, we expect an even greater difference in the future.
We would absolutely recommend Ecocentrix for your solar projects. They offer the best quality product and they have the knowledge, the expertise, and experience to properly install it.

I went through ECOcentrix for my roofing and solar projects and I could not recommend them more. I had an insurance claim for my roof and they handled it very professionally and made sure I was taken care of and getting everything I could for it. My solar was turned on a couple days ago and I could not be happier with how it turned out. Everyone that I worked with was kind, professional, and caring. They treated me like a person and not just a check. I will go through ECOcentrix for anything they offer. They have made a customer for life.

Ecocentrix came highly recommended by the guys at Erie roofing so I gave them a shot. Aron from Ecocentrix worked with my schedule and planned a very informational meeting explaining the product and process of going solar. The whole process took close to a month as they explained it would, nothing was rushed. They came out and assessed our home to be sure it was right for solar, and designed the best set up for us. Sarah at Ecocentrix kept us up to date with the process making sure we knew what and when to expect the installation. Before we knew it, an Ameren technician was here to inspect it for start up. The Ameren tech assured us that the panels were producing well, and was impressed by the simplicity of the panel, commenting that it was a pretty straight forward design. We are very impressed with Ecocentrix’s team of professionals and are happy that we made the switch to solar!
Thanks Aron, Sarah, and Ecocentrix team!

I normally don’t make to many reviews, but Aaron and the team with Ecocentrix was amazing through the entire process and I have to share that. Everyone was very informative, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and patient throughout the process. The process normally would have taken 3 months, but it took a bit more for me because a new roof was needed. Once that was installed the process to install the panels were pretty fast because they had already did their due diligence having everything in order before they installed everything.

Anytime I had questions the team would always be there to answer those questions promptly. They also made sure I was always informed of what was going on and the next steps in the process as well. Keeping an open line of communication was very important to me as I was very new to this process and it made me very appreciate of that fact.

The solar panels have worked wonders as well since they have been installed. We’ve seen a major decrease in the electric bill just as they said it would and it feels like a burden with the electric bill has been lifted. Thank you guys for what you do! I’d recommend everyone to ECOcentrix!

I spent so much time trying to decide on solar (way too many plans/systems and misinformation). My wife suggested we speak with Jonathan from ECOcentrix. She has a few friends who went through them for solar and had great things to say about them. I’m so glad we did! 5 star company, quality material, labor and excellent customer service. They truly believe in what they are doing and they work hard to be the best for their customers! I am confident this company will still be around years from now so my system is in great hands. Give them a call. I believe you will not be disappointed! Thank you Mollie, Aaron, Jonathan, Mike & Sarah.

Mollie and Aaron spoke with me at length about whether solar would be a good fit for my new home. They were thorough and honest, ultimately helping me to see that it’s not likely a good fit for my home at this time. They’re helping me to find an energy auditor instead, to see how we can improve our energy use. They genuinely care about their customers, speak to the client’s specific and individual situation rather than a universal sales pitch and were able to explain everything in great detail. Thank you Aaron and Mollie!

ECOcentrix did everything they promised and more. Our system is producing as planned and we can monitor it on our app. We have enough surplus to replace appliances with electric as they need replaced. Love it!!

Very knowledgeable about the industry. It is good to have someone who can help with filing all the applications and paperwork. Also they know of all available incentives to go solar. Check out their energy audit that is a part of their program. Very impressive component that other solar companies simply do not have.

This company is top notch. Great service from the start to finish of our solar job. The presentation was understandable and accurate to what we could expect. The plan for making our home more energy efficient was easy to do with Aaron and Molly’s help step by step. Streib electric assisted with the installation and were professional as well. Would definitely recommend this company for Energy solutions and solar. Very happy we met them at a home show.
