"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
Missouri Nonprofit Organization
"To be honest, I was a little skeptical of solar at first. I didn't know if it would be a good fit for our organization as a manufacturer. I had a lot of questions and StraightUp Solar was able to answer those questions well... We developed trust so decided to move forward with StraightUp Solar. We needed a lot of help and StraightUp Solar was there to walk us through the process. It is a complicated project because you're working with utility providers, municipalities, raw material suppliers and StraightUp Solar was able to lay out a plan for us."
Lucas R.Forge Resources Group
Illinois Manufacturing Company
"The other really positive thing about StraightUp Solar is you have this big project, and when it's done you might have a sense of 'What do I do next?' They offer help after the project is implemented. They monitor our solar array to make sure it's generating power it should generate, they do regularly planned site visits to make sure everything's functioning. If I have questions I know I can call them. It's not one of those scenarios where they do the project and then they're gone. They're invested in us as a company and they care about our success."

“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.”

"I have had the pleasure of working with StraightUp Solar for my commercial solar installation at Mountain Top Motor Co. I am very in-depth when it comes to interviewing companies to do business with. I asked a lot of hard questions and I wanted more information than your typical consumer. David at StraightUp Solar not only answered all my questions but taught me some things along the way. StraightUp Solar knew the equipment and the needs of my building more than any other company. They really put a lot of effort into building a quote and system even before a contract was awarded. Through the installation they were great communicators and everything went smoothly. Very impressed with the entire process."
