  Showed up right on time for an inverter replacement, had it replaced quickly. Quick responses to emails too.

  Ilumen Solar was incredibly helpful and responsive in getting my SREC application completed after I was left stranded by my original solar contractor. They knew exactly what needed to be done and quickly helped resolve the problem. I would highly recommend Ilumen Solar to any stranded solar customer.

  There was a panel in my array that was only producing about half of the other ones. After getting the run around from the company that installed the system, I decided to contact Ilumen Solar based on their reviews. Best decision I made regarding my system. Even though the original panel was supposed to be replaced under warranty, Ilumen only charged an addition $50 to purchase and install a new panel. Two days later, instead of weeks of excuses, the panel was replaced and my system is at full power. I never have to worry about getting service again. Ilumen is my new go to solar company.

  This review is long overdue! When we bought our home in 2021, we knew we wanted to go solar. Out of all the installers we contacted, Zach was the only one who didn't sound like a typical salesperson. His genuine passion for the industry is what ultimately sold us on the project. While the process took some time to get off the ground due to HOA/ Developer approvals, Zach and his team were incredibly communicative and supportive throughout the delays. The actual installation in 2023 went exactly according to plan. The entire installation team did a fantastic job keeping it clean with minimal visible exterior conduit. Our solar production over the last 2 years has consistently performed the initial estimates. I highly recommend Zach and his team for an honest, high-quality installation.

  Scheduling stayed organized the entire time, which honestly surprised me. Every appointment happened close to schedule and updates were consistent. The lower electric bill has been a huge bonus already.

  I'm very happy with Ilumen. They fixed my system when no one else would support my hardware. They were responsive and got the job done quick. I wish I had found them sooner.

  Really happy we went with them!! Everyone we worked with was kind, respectful, and easy to talk to. They answered any questions, explained things clearly, and never made the process feel overwhelming. The install this past week went smoothly and the crew took great care of our home. Overall it was just a really positive experience and we’d definitely recommend them to anyone considering solar!! 🩵

  From start to finish... this team was amazing.  We researched solar on and off for 6+ years.  We strive to support local and just felt the nationwide companies were not a fit for us.  Ilumen fit the bill on so many levels.  Local Illinois company with a big company feel and capabilities. They answered countless questions and walked us through every detail to get our unique system reviewed by the local municipality, installed and ultimately approved for final inspection.  Our house was heavily shaded by substantial oak and hickory trees.  However, Ilumen didn't panic when we approached them about putting the system on our outbuilding and back-feeding to the house.  Every other company wanted to trench up our yard or told us it wasn't possible.  Ilumen went out of their way to meet our needs and provide a system that worked within our budget and our unique physical setup.  We're just a few months in but have seen the system out perform their original projected productions.
