Midwest Solar Power was recommended by friends several years ago, and we chose their bid from among…read moreseveral we solicited. The installation went smoothly and the crew was knowledgeable, professional, well-organized, and great at communicating with us. We've had no issues with the panels in the 5+ years since then, and I admit it's fun to check the app to see how much energy they produce. More recently, we did have an issue with a family of squirrels that took up residence under the panels, causing some damage. When I reached out to the company to ask for advice about addressing the issue, they got us on the schedule for repairs and critter guard installation. Nest removal was handled by a different company, which left the remains of the nest all over the roof, deck, and lawn. The crew was unfazed by the mess and got to work. They were organized, efficient, responsive to my questions - and they certainly left everything in far better shape than they found it. I can't recommend them highly enough - and though I would now recommend having critter guards installed when the panels are installed, this approach was cost-effective and the work was done well.

We worked with Midwest Solar Power to install an 8-panel solar photovoltaic system. Rik was…read moreextremely knowledgeable and helpful in answering our questions and laying out each step of the process. Rik and the installation crew were very professional, organized and clean. The entire project was completed in a timely manner with no complications. The system works flawlessly and has helped us cut our home's energy consumption substantially. One of the great features that Rik included with our system is access to the online portal that tracks power output on a minute-by-minute basis. It is really cool to have this added information that shows how many Watts our system is producing as well as the total production over any time period we input. We are extremely proud of the quality and performance of our system. We would like to expand it in the future and plan to work with Rik and Midwest Solar Power again. We are looking forward to many years of renewable energy in the future!

Their team left our place cleaner I believe than when they arrived and walked us through the entire installation.

In October of 2024 I had the most excellent good fortune to work with Greenlink Energy Solutions as…read morepart of an ComEd Home Energy Efficiency project that included replacement of the furnace/a.c. and water heater, as well as top to bottom weatherization of my house. Even before the project started both Olivia and Jarron took the time to answer any questions and address any concerns I had regarding the equipment being installed and the overall scope of the project. Day 1, first up was a couple of electrical guys, quickly followed by Jarron and his HVAC team, Ben & Ryan. All on time and ready to get to it. Professional, pleasant and remarkably tolerant of my nonstop questions about the systems, the guys went to work and, other than a quick lunch break, worked nonstop, not particularly concerned about the clock but more about getting to a reasonable stopping place for the day. By the time they were finished, everything was operational, square and plumb, all pipes, valves, duct work and conduit looking very slick, orderly and professional. (5 stars just on the sheet metal work alone). Next up was the weatherization team with Nick leading the charge. Again, on time and ready to go. These guys, Zarek, Steven and Danial, came in with a plan and went right two it, peeling off to address varying issues and again, once on the ground it was go time for these guys. Remarkably, all willing and ready to jump in to even the less desirable parts of the project (like who really wants to go into a hot attic and crawl around in the corners? But they did it and with no hesitation or whining). Over all there were several things that impressed me about the Greenlink teams. There is the obvious stuff, like the punctuality and, remarkably, the through cleanup at the end of each day, and also the obvious work ethic, mutual respect amongst the team members and easy and informative communication with me. I think what was the most reassuring though, you could see the obvious pride the Greenlink people take in their work and, just as importantly, the obvious pride they take in working as part of the Greenlink team. That says a lot. I would not hesitate to recommend Greenlink Energy Solutions to anyone. I suspect my neighbors are already tired of hearing about how good they are.

The second time he told me it'd cost me for them to send out a full crew to assess what I already have to give me an estimate for adding onto the existing system if I didn't send them an engineer's drawing of what's already there. The only "work" involved with getting specs for an estimate would be 10 minutes worth of measuring by one person, maybe a few minutes more of discussion. The job I was looking for is a small one, and I know it would cost more per unit than a larger one, but paying for ONE person to come out and gather specs for an estimate is totally unreasonable. If you want solar, find someone else who really appreciates the business and is willing to provide decent service.

Beware of SolEnergy - Deceptive Practices and Fraud…read more I had a terrible experience with SolEnergy. Their sales rep, using SolEnergy branding, promised my solar system would eliminate my power bill, have a 25-year guarantee, and qualify for tax credits. They arranged financing and took full payment a full year before the system was even operational, and when issues arose--such as poor installation and delays--they ignored my concerns. They falsely claimed to be BBB accredited, but they are not. Look it up! They now deny responsibility for their sales rep, despite him using their name and materials. After connecting with others, I've found this is a pattern. Do NOT trust this company. If you've had a similar experience, report them.
