Here’s a Bright Idea

It started in 2016, in a community in Cook County, Chicago with hopes for a cleaner, sustainable future. This solar initiative sparked a phenomenon with projected savings of $1.12 million dollars in electricity over the next 25 years alone—and it’s available to homeowners just like you. This is why we personalize each residential system design to suit your needs, maximize your savings, and get you the best solar panel cost in Chicago.

 

Every panel we install on your roof will give you more freedom with your hard-earned money and ensure your contribution to reducing harmful carbon emissions.

Embracing Clean Energy

Embracing Clean Energy

 

By 2025, every government building in Chicago will use 100% clean-energy electricity. Chicago also includes some of the best tax rebates and incentives for owning solar panels in the country—including the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs), Capacity rebate, and more!—to lower your solar panel costs.

QUALITY ABOVE ALL

Quality Above All

 

We know you have many solar companies to choose from. We’re on a mission to help you and other Chicago residents not only save on utility costs but also help the planet.

 

With approximately 11,000 homes powered by solar in Chicago alone, we’re excited to be part of the revolution. Over the next 5 years, Illinois is projected to rank 20th in state rankings for solar energy, with a goal of meeting 25% of energy needs with renewable energy sources by 2025.

HOW MUCH DO SOLAR PANELS COST IN CHICAGO?

It’s no question solar panels will cut your utility costs. But how much do solar panels cost in Chicago? How do they work? How much do you actually save?

 

Your savings depend on how much photovoltaic (PV) energy your system is producing as it takes in sunlight. The more PV, the more you save. Typically, a residential solar panel system produces around 350-850 kilowatt hours (kWh) each month. The average home uses approximately 909 kWh of energy per month (according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration). If we do the math, you can potentially save upwards of 90% on your electric costs. 

 

To meet the state of Illinois’ power goal, the state is offering solar renewable energy credits (SRECs), property tax exemptions, and other federal incentives to help cut the cost of solar panels in Chicago and make clean energy not only more affordable to homeowners, but more beneficial as well.

 

Not only can you make a difference on your electric costs, but you can also make a difference on the environment. In its lifetime, the average residential solar panel system will offset the energy produced by burning over 80 tons of coal, or 175 tons of carbon dioxide, which is the environmental equivalent of planting 4,000 trees. We may be partial to the color blue at Blue Raven Solar, but we love being green too—and we’re here to make it easy for you too!

 

With so many factors at play, it’s difficult to pin down your solar panel costs and exactly how much you’ll save in Chicago from Blue Raven Solar without a custom report. You can rest assured knowing with our panels both your wallet and the planet will thank you—but don’t take our word for it! We offer free savings estimates! Simply submit an energy-use questionnaire and our solar specialist will give you an accurate, zero-commitment savings report.

 

Whether you’re slashing monthly costs, enjoying reduced income taxes, or saving the environment, you can start saving with Blue Raven Solar. Get your savings report inquiry today!

THE EQUIPMENT YOU NEED, ALL ON ONE ROOF

You provide the house, we’ll provide the equipment. After sharing the specific system costs for the Chicago area and designing your custom solar panel setup, our team will install our state-of-the-art photovoltaic (PV) solar panels, microinverters, and other solar equipment so you can start saving. An added bonus? Your property values will go up with solar panels on the roof.

 

Our company customizes each solar panel array to suit your home, budget, and lifestyle in Chicago. Our modern, energy-absorbing, black panels are of the highest quality, blend into your roof, and include a 25-year manufacturer warranty, as well as a production guarantee, a workmanship warranty, and a roof penetration warranty. You won’t have to worry about a thing; each member of our team is highly-trained and dedicated to offering personalized care to each Chicago homeowner.

 

Generally, a house’s south-facing eaves spend the most time in direct sunlight, making them the best location for solar efficiency. And if you don’t have a southern-facing roof, then our team will adapt to find the most viable options for your needs. With a simple calculation, our solar designers will determine the optimal orientation for your solar panels to offset your power costs to the level you’re looking for.

HOW SOLAR ENERGY WORKS

Our solar energy is essentially the combination of our technology, economics, and customer service. It begins with the sun. In a single hour, the sun beams to Earth enough energy to power the entire world for a year. But this much power is impossible to use without the right equipment. With solar panels, you can harness the sun for yourself, cut out unnecessary costs, and power your life with sunlight. Our hassle-free experience makes switching to clean energy as easy as flipping a switch, and we’ve optimized solar panel costs for your area.

SOLAR ECONOMICS 101

Solar energy is becoming more accessible. Cheaper equipment, attractive tax incentives, and expert financing make solar panels one of the best investments a Chicago homeowner can make, which means you can earn back the cost of your solar panels in just a few years.

SOLAR TECHNOLOGY

With the technology harnessed to capture the sun’s energy—like solar panels, inverters, and net metering—we have created a clean, renewable power source for homeowners, slashing your utility costs, contributing to environmental health, and enhancing the value of your home all in one installation. Reach out today to discuss solar panel costs for your Chicago home.

SOLAR SERVICES

Our Chicago solar experts will make your change to renewable energy as painless and efficient as possible. You will have a dedicated team at your side at every step, beginning with an expert consultation and review of custom solar panel costs, a design session, then permit acquisition, installation, inspection, and finally, energization.

YOUR OWN PERSONAL POWER PLANT

At Blue Raven Solar, we know this fact to be indisputable: Our nation’s current power generation is unsustainable. We currently depend on over 60% of our electricity from the burning of fossil fuels. These carbon-based energy sources (such as coal, oil, and natural gasses) are damaging our natural environment, spewing toxicity and pollution into our atmosphere and beyond. Solar is by far one of the cleanest forms of energy. Unlike fossil fuels, solar is a virtually limitless source, readily available to all and extremely efficient and cost-friendly.

 

Chicago residents are eager to become part of the renewable energy movement. We’re excited to join you on your solar journey. We can all make a positive impact if we make the right choices—and switching to solar is definitely one of the best choices for you, your Chicago home, your wallet, and the planet.

 

As America’s #1 solar installer, we’re continuing to grow throughout Illinois—you can find us within and near Chicago, including Elgin, Schaumburg, Aurora, Joliet, Cicero, Hanover Park, Naperville, Evanston, and more (for a full list of serviced locations, see below).
