Solar shows them that the choices we make today matter for their future. It’s a decision they can feel proud of—and so can you.

"Having a solar system gives me and my husband peace of mind when dealing with high electricity rates and raising 3 children in our home. I no longer worry about peak time or summer rates, and I also know that our system will help us financially in our retirement years. StraightUp Solar was easy to work with and I know we can depend on them for any future needs."
Denise S.Maplewood, Missouri Homeowner
"We just had our solar array installed by Straight Up Solar. Could NOT be happier with the project. From start to finish - and beyond - customer service has been stellar. Installation team was just great, professional and personable. Always willing to stop and answer any questions."
Yvonne M.Dittmer, Missouri Homeowner
"Wonderful experience with the StraightUp Solar team! No sales-y or pushy attitude – just clear and honest communication throughout the whole process, with a focus on my goals and priorities. (I pay special attention to this since as a female homeowner this unfortunately is not always the treatment I get from other contractors.)"
Annemarie S.St. Louis, Missouri Homeowner
"Altogether, it took less than 8 hours for the team to complete the install. The on-site crew leader had a checklist to review with us to make sure everything was completed properly and all our questions were addressed. Ever since, we have access to the Enlighten app to check on our solar production hourly/daily and compare it to prior days/weeks. Our first bill was only $12! I can't wait to see how much money we can save, while also doing something for the environment."
Mary A.St. Louis, Missouri Homeowner
"StraightUp is AWESOME!!! Charles is AWESOME as well. The initial plan was perfect and everyone was very professional and informative. Before we decided to go Solar, we spoke with three other companies. They were pushy and rude and not really answering questions. I can’t say enough about StraightUp Solar. They are the BEST!!!"
Lucy R.St. Louis, Missouri Homeowner
"We had our panels installed almost 2 years ago and LOVE them. We got bids from several companies and StraightUp was by far the lowest... The installation was seamless - they took care of everything. My kids and I love seeing how much energy our panels are producing in real-time and also knowing we are helping the Earth! Highly recommend!"
Christy H.Ballwin, Missouri Homeowner
"Thanks to StraightUp Solar for the installation of my solar array. It has been up and running for over a month and we are very happy with it. The installation team and electricians did a great job, were very professional and kept us in the loop every step of the way."
Donna R.Godfrey, Illinois Homeowner
"I have been dealing with StraightUp Solar now for over 5 years, and I have nothing but good things to say about these guys. From the installation crew to the tech guys that monitor my system, everyone that I have dealt with has been top notch. Three of my friends and family have also gone with StraightUp Solar and have also been very pleased. If you're going to go solar, go with StraightUp Solar!"
David E.St. Louis, Missouri Homeowner
"I appreciate StraightUp Solar for inspecting the solar panels at my home at no charge to see if they sustained hail damage in the recent storms. Since my car had been damaged, I was concerned, but now I can relax, knowing they are not only undamaged but otherwise in good condition after more than five years in service. Great customer service!"
Teresa S.St. Charles, Missouri Homeowner
"All installed with aesthetics and function in mind. Great Job!!"
Bill & Roberta H.Godfrey, Illinois Homeowner

Top 3 Reasons
Families in Greater St. Louis Choose Solar

Choosing solar in 2026 is about more than just technology; it’s about gaining control over your household’s most unpredictable expense. Here is why your neighbors are making the switch.

Own Your Energy,
Reduce Utility Bills

Stop renting power from your utility company, own it with solar. Like a mini, personal power plant on your roof, you gain greater control over your energy expenses, immediately reducing your utility bill. It’s a practical way to provide for your family’s needs—from laundry day to movie nights—using a resource you actually control.

GET STARTED

Protect Against 2026 Utility Rates Hikes

Utility costs in Missouri continue to climb, often outpacing other household expenses. This bill creep can make long-term budgeting feel like a guessing game for your family. Solar locks in your energy costs for the 25+ year lifespan of your array. When rates go up for everyone else, your home stays protected.

GET STARTED

Building a Brighter Future for Our Kids

As a parent, you want to leave the world better than you found it. Solar offsets your energy usage with solar power instead of traditional fossil fuels. It’s a visible lesson for your children that the choices you make today—right on your own rooftop—build a healthier, more resilient community for their future.

Solar: The Only Upgrade
That Pays You Back

Most home renovations are “sunk costs.” While a new kitchen or a finished basement adds beauty and value, they don’t actively put money back into your monthly budget. Solar is a strategic asset.

High-Yield Improvement: Unlike a new deck, solar is an upgrade that reduces a monthly liability—your electric bill.

Long-Term Energy Security: Once your system pays for itself through energy savings, you enjoy virtually free electricity for the remainder of the system’s life. If this is your “forever home,” you’re essentially prepaying your future energy costs now so you don’t have to worry about them later.
