Overview of Tron Solar
Tron was created by Lester Gray after moving to Illinois with little money, a lot of determination and one big vision to make solar affordable and efficient in Chicagoland. After a quick establishment as a leader in the solar field, Tron's office slowly grew out of Lester's basement and into a rapidly growing 44-person staffed office. It was there where our legendary operations department was handcrafted and trained to become one of the most efficient operations teams in the nation. The leadership of Tron vowed to build the company on a culture of transparency, 5-Star Customer Service and industry-leading installation and production. Our foundation is set to enable us to continue serving our country with clean, productive renewable energy while saving money in the process. Our Values & Vision... There is purpose in everything... We're bringing the best solar experience to our customers through our headache-free process, high-quality installation, excellent customer care and eco-friendly innovation. Make no mistake - there is a reason we're Chicagoland's highest rated local solar company. We ease the switch to solar energy for your property through the best quality installation work and design, certified 5-Star NCSA Customer Service, industry leading warranties and one of the top operations team in the nation. The vision of Tron far exceeds renewable energy; we intend to take homes into the future of tech - with smart home technology, solar energy, battery storage, solar shingles and EV vehicle accessories. What Makes Us Different? This one is easy... Integrity. It's of our utmost importance to operate our business with integrity - always doing what's best for our customers. We're also locally owned and operated in Buffalo Grove, IL, which means we're not just another giant corporate solar company coming into your town and then leaving. Respect: We don't treat our customers like customers - we treat them like family. Our respect toward you and the impact on our environment is at the forefront of our company values, and our Customer Service team is nationally recognized and certified by the NCSA, which means that you're not just in good hands, you're in great hands. With Tron, you have peace of mind for all your solar needs. Quality: If BMW considers itself a "the ultimate driving machine", then we consider ourselves "the ultimate solar company". The quality of your solar panel installation matters to us and that's why our design and installation is industry leading. As the highest rated solar company in Illinois, our work speaks for itself.

So glad I chose Tron Solar for my residential inistallation.
The search for a quality company to install my solar panel system in my home can be a confusion task. Tron has met all expectations in the products they use and installation quality and attention to detail. Our electric bill has been reduced significantly and the process to receive solar incentives from the federal and state Gov was easy and honest. Very pleased with all aspect of the process of moving to solar with Tron Solar.

FAST INSTALL
It has only been 3 weeks since I signed up and we are installing. This is my 2nd property to get Tron to install solar. My 1st property's electric bill is less than $2 some times negative. Alex worked everything behind the scene and he was able to get the permit approved in less than 2 weeks. No complains so far, I cannot wait till I get activated and start saving on my electric bill.
Response from Tron Solar

Tron Solar installed a solar system. So easy to work with!
We met with other companies and Tron Solar had the best structure and layed out all the steps. Their team of engineers and installers answered all our questions, and the work was well done and timely.
Response from Tron Solar
Many moving parts to getting something going like this but it was good to know you can contact someone and they will help you find an answer. Installation was great, inspection was good, tron literally handled most if not all the work. Cant wait to start seeing the saving on my bill. Need a referral, just hit me up. My Guy is awesome.

Tron is a solid installer.
The Tron guys were fast, efficient, clean and polite. I had a couple issues after installation which they fixed immediately. My system has been in for 2-months now and operating as expected. They stand behind their work. They even worked with me to design an efficient system that you don't see from the street. Other solar sellers still stop at my door as they can't see it. The application on my phone shows me the power its creating and my electric bill has gone down. This is a no money down lease program i opted for. Highly recommended. No money down. $500 each for referrals (i got two) and I am getting a check for my first year of lease payments. So even though my electric bill won't totally go to it's lowest until next spring... because it's so late in the year...I am money way ahead. Highly recommended.
Response from Tron Solar
It’s wonderful to know that our team was fast, efficient, clean, and polite throughout the installation process. We are committed to providing prompt resolutions to any issues, and we’re glad to hear that your system has been operating as expected for the past two months. We take pride in designing efficient solar systems that blend seamlessly with your home’s aesthetics, and it's great to hear that your system is so discreet that other solar sellers still stop by. The functionality of the app and the noticeable reduction in your electric bill are exactly the results we aim for with every customer. We’re delighted that you found our no-money-down lease program beneficial and that the referral rewards have added even more value to your experience. Knowing that you are already seeing financial benefits, even before reaching the full potential of your savings, is fantastic.

Excellent Service
Tron Solar alleviated our anxiety of how to reduce our carbon footprint by being approchable, informative and organized. Sending a Regional Manager instead of a regular sales rep we feel was encouraging and extremely informative. We felt we could ask any question without the being pressured to purchase. Any call or text was answered right away. Installation team is professional and curteous. We'd recommend Tron Solar to anyone who is contemplating reducing their carbon footprint and questions from their personal research answered. Truly a wealth of information and not just what is written on a piece of paper.
Response from Tron Solar
It's fantastic to know that having a Regional Manager meet with you was encouraging and highly informative.

Tron was great to work with. Great communication during the process. Install team did a good job and were very professional. Got it done in mid-spring and already enjoying the benefits. They helped us get installed a device that allows us to monitor our production and consumption real-time that also identifies what turned on and remained on. Great device!

Solar Panel & Roof Project
Great group of guys to work with from beginning to end. Jared was our initial sales rep and Adrian was the PM with a phenomenal crew! The whole process was extremely smooth and I never felt that there was a question I shouldn't ask. They took care of a new roof as well as solar panels. Professional, timely, respectful and informative. We even utilized Tron's Home Improvement in order to get windows throughout the entire house. Highly recommend!!
