GRNE makes going solar feel easy!

We have had an excellent experience with GRNE Solar! When our local solar co-op selected the company prior to us joining we hoped for a good experience and were pleasantly surprised at each step in the process. From the team’s initial proposal and personalized meeting to lay out the system design and details, to the smooth communication, to an efficient and professional installation team, GRNE’s work was comprehensive and very customer friendly. We had a tight timeline to get our system installed, and they pulled it off without a hitch. Amy has been extremely helpful in answering all of our questions promptly and thoroughly. Even after our installation was complete, the team has been available and helpful when we had an issue with our inverter connecting properly to the monitoring app. GRNE truly made going solar feel easy!

Highly recommend GRNE

I went with GRNE for our solar install last fall based on vetting done by Solarize Chicagoland. So glad I did! I couldn't recommend them more highly. Every person I've had contact with has been professional and extremely helpful every step of the way, very conscientious and patient with all my questions. The install went great and the panels have been up and running for months now, working like a dream. Thanks GRNE!

The BEST of the BEST !

My search for a reliable Solar installer were realized by my tour of the GRNE facility in Palatine, IL. The tour and presentation by, Ryan answered all my solar questions. The ensuing quotation was fast and all my design requests were met. Eric Peterman has assembled a great team of people to work with. I was present for the installation. The crew lead by Carl, were all friendly professionals. The installation went smoothly and was finished in my time frame as promised. From permit application,construction,inspection,Com Ed net metering and investment credit application, GRNE can't be beat.

Great company to work with

June 2017 I sent out a request for proposal to put 15 solar panels on my south facing roof. GRNE (Eric) was at my house the next day with 3 proposals that perfectly bracketed my request. Eric and I were quickly able to get through all my questions, agree on a price, and even line up my 5 year SREC credits contract. On July 7th they installed my panels. Exactly what I was looking for. The panels are beating my projected production by 5% and look great. Thanks Eric and the expert GRNE installation team. Regards, Dan Knotter

As good as it gets!

🌞☀️🌞 I can't recommend GRNE enough! From securing cost-effective pricing, to planning the setup, to getting the permits pushed through when the village was stalling, and finishing off with a quality install, they were there all along the way. It's a small company so you have immediate access to the people who know your system inside and out whenever you need them, and they were more than happy to put up with my many questions throughout the process. These guys really know solar, and are experts in this up-and-coming sector. Communication is spectacular, service is great, and I'm so glad that they will be servicing my system. Special thanks to Ryan, Ed, and Eric. You guys rock! 🌞☀️🌞
