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.

Sales and installation
We are so thankful we invited reps, Jared and McCoy to explain the advantages of solar panels. The installers, and Giray who patched and painted around the new electrical panel did excellent work. Thank you so much for leading us into the future and saving us money.

A Job Well Done
Yesterday we had your crew out to install our second system on our garage. The crew worked flawlessly together. Everybody had a job and completed it in the most efficient way. Gerardo, the electrician converted the original electrical system to accommodate 2 system and put a weatherproof load center on the garage to accommodate both systems and pulled larger conductors at carry the load. He spoke with my wife and kept her up to date as the job progressed. When I got home from work he gave me a tour of the new systems and how it was connected to the com ed connection. Which was different from the original. With more protections on the feed from the garage to the house than the original system. Thank you all.

Best out there
I started the process with another company. 6 letters starts with S ands with N and it rhymes in the middle. They were the worst. Lies left and right and said u needed $10K in work to do project but couldn’t say why. Then they went silent. I put out on social media I was looking for someone and Steve with Tron called me. Best experience ever. He was super honest and waited while I built a new garage to put panels on. Don’t hesitate to call Tron and ask for Steve T. You will be happy you did

Isaiah Brook ia personable and absolutely great to work with. A true professional, extremely knowledgeable. He explained the entire program, process, and benefits of going solar to get away from the ever inflating costs of buying my energy from the utility. Transparent of all available options to allow me to make the best choice for my home and family. He was very involved throughout the entire process (sales - installation) and accessible for follow-up questions.

Great Company and Employees were Top Notch
Was very happy with the quality of the products and the installation, but working with Brian Platt as the sales rep was the best experience. Great guy, knowledgeable, very responsive and extremely helpful throughout the whole process. And the few speedbumps that came up, he was attentive and showed outstanding dedication to resolving them correctly and quickly (and I must say that Giray Emsun does amazing work and is also a great human being). Tron should retain and promote these individuals!

MY TRON SOLAR EXPERIENCE
I would like say 'thank you"! to the Tron team for such a wonderful solar experience. It will be great doing business with you guys. I especially want to thank our Salesman Marlon Erazo for being such a blessing during this transition. Our family had no idea about Solar and I was very skeptical at first. However, because of the diligence and kindness that Marlon has shown us, we were able to transition successfully. Marlon has been there with us from start to completion and we are grateful for him. Thank you Tron!

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.
