How Will Solar
Uplift Your Energy?

Solar empowers you to choose where your energy comes from for your family, likely for the first time ever. With the cost of solar panels and solar energy technology steadily decreasing over the years, going solar has never been more affordable. It’s no wonder the popularity of solar is growing rapidly in Illinois.

Brighter Energy, Savings up to 65%

In addition to immediate energy bill savings, federal and Illinois state incentives help you save up to 65% off the cost of your solar array. Investing in solar can also increase your home value, benefiting you when it's time to sell or refinance.

Brighter Energy,
More Control

Solar is like owning a mini clean energy power plant on your roof (or yard). With utility rate increases in Illinois, going solar is a great way to lower your energy bill and lock in your utility costs. A solar + battery solution can protect against outages.

"The installation process was so incredibly easy. I couldn’t believe when I was asking questions it seemed like every answer was, “we take care of that.” When the team got here they were amazing… The people that were doing the job believed in what they were doing… Working with this company was just really a great experience all the way around."
Julie D.Waterloo, Illinois Homeowner
"I come from a long line of coal miners, my brother even used to work at a coal mine. I would love to see these jobs converted over to alternative energy. I think this is a great opportunity for us as homeowners and business owners to gain control of our energy costs rather than be at the mercy of the utility."
Greg T.Carterville, Illinois Homeowner
"The people at StraightUp [Solar] have made each and every step in this process so easy and stress free for us. We can honestly recommend StraightUp Solar to anyone who considers going solar."
