*All scenarios are unique, your experience may differ.

“We were looking at putting in a larger system and from the first encounter with StraightUp Solar they knew all of the regulations and steps our system would have to adhere to. Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable about the entire solar process, but they were also friendly and easy to work with.”
Miranda B.Biddle Farms, Joy, IL
"I sought out StraightUp Solar for our commercial solar array based on their history and full service process taking us to activation and beyond. Being in business since the early days of solar in MO and over 2800 installations gave me confidence in their track record. From start to finish, the communication and professionalism was top notch. It looks great, functions as billed, and I am a very pleased customer!"
Chad S.Long Row Lavendar, Wright City, Missouri
"Great teamwork between StraightUp and Ameren! In fact, I am very impressed with you folks at StraightUp. Everyone I met was very polite and professional and the workmanship was equally professional. Done as said when said! Would be glad to recommend you guys to others. Keep energizing us…"
Warren S.Grace Church, Normal, Illinois
"[Solar] is a good investment because obviously it limits a variable for our company. The largest cost we have is our labor. Coming in #2 behind that is the cost of the energy that we need to put into our steel and aluminum to get it hot enough to be able to form it. By having solar panels... you're fixing one of those variables. We have enough of a challenge with steel costs and labor. To be able to freeze one of those variables I think puts us in an advantageous position over a lot of our competitors."
Craig N.Forge Resources Group, Illinois Manufacturing Company
"There were a couple of reasons why we chose StraightUp Solar… First of all, we liked the people. They were incredibly helpful, very informative of the process, very patient as we went through our bidding process. Number two, they were local. Third… the price was very competitive in comparison with other vendors."
Andy C.St. Louis Life, St. Louis, Missouri Organization

Solar Generates
Return on Investment

Unlike traditional renovations that are “sunk costs,” solar is a strategic asset. While a finished office adds aesthetic appeal, solar reduces a monthly liability, your utility bill.

Solar profices an operational hedge. By leveraging energy savings and incentives, you transform a volatile utility expense into a predictable bottom-line asset.
