Don’t let rising utility rates, high AC bills from keeping cool during intense summer heat, or an unpredictable grid dictate your monthly budget. It’s time to turn the page and take control of your energy.
StraightUp Solar returns as the officially selected solar installation partner for the Grow Solar Bloomington-Normal initiative, offered by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association and the Ecology Action Center. This community program pools the collective buying power of DeWitt and McLean counties to drastically reduce the upfront costs of going solar. Grow Solar offers up to 3% program rebate for those who purchase a system, on top of solar incentives and financing—making solar more affordable than ever.
From our Bloomington office, our team lives and works locally, so we care about the Central Illinois community we’ve served for 20 years. As a Certified B Corporation driven by our CLEARE Values, we are dedicated to custom, turnkey solar and battery solutions that uplift people and our planet.
Solar turns your roof into a local power source. By generating electricity onsite, you reduce how much energy you buy from the utility—meaning immediate savings on your monthly bills. It creates a reliable buffer for your household budget, ensuring that future rate spikes won't disrupt your financial plans. Gain greater control, more predictable costs, and a return on investment that supports a healthier Illinois.
On top of the up to 3% Grow Solar rebate, stack 2026 Illinois incentives—like 34-43% higher SREC value for the current Illinois Shines program year and battery rebates. Get $0 down and competitive rates with Clean Energy Credit Union’s solar loan. Our new $0-down Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) financing option leverages the commercial tax credit to reduce out-of-pocket costs for those in Ameren Illinois and ComEd territory.
Bring total relief and protection to your property. Integrating smart battery storage allows you to self-consume your own solar power, insulating your home from rising utility rate hikes and peak time of use rates. We offer three models: Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Battery, and FranklinWH Battery. Take absolute control of your energy to keep your lights on and ensure your family never skips a beat during grid outages.
Unlike traditional renovations that are “sunk costs,” solar is a strategic asset. While a new kitchen remodel adds aesthetic appeal, solar reduces a monthly liability: your electricity bill.
Solar is a high-yield upgrade. After the payback point, you enjoy virtually free electricity for the remainder of your system’s 25-30+ year lifespan.
Choosing brighter energy means lowered utility bills, more control over your energy, and a long-term return on investment into your property, community, and planet.
We are your solar experts from design to installation and beyond. Let’s get started.
