Honest Solar Guidance from a Local Peoria Team

Solar can be a smart investment for some Peoria, IL homeowners. But it should make sense for your home, electricity use, budget and long-term plans.

Solar Panther helps homeowners throughout Peoria and the surrounding communities understand their options before making a commitment. We evaluate your energy use, roof, available sunlight and financial priorities to determine whether solar is a good fit. If it is, we design and install a system around your property and remain available to support it after activation.

Our services include new solar installation, system monitoring, troubleshooting, solar repair, and coordination between your panels and roof. We also evaluate many systems installed by other companies, including systems whose original installer is no longer available.

Questions? Answered.

How Much Does Solar Cost in Peoria?

The cost depends on the size and design of the system, equipment, installation conditions and the way it is purchased or financed. Applicable incentives may affect the final financial picture, but program eligibility, values and timing can change. Solar Panther provides a property-specific analysis rather than relying on a generic average.

Can Solar Panels Produce Electricity During a Peoria Winter?

Yes. Solar panels can produce electricity during winter when sunlight is available, although shorter days, weather, shade and snow coverage can affect production. A solar proposal should consider anticipated performance across the entire year.

Will Solar Eliminate My Ameren Bill?

Not necessarily. Most homeowners remain connected to the utility and may continue paying fixed charges, taxes, fees or charges for electricity used beyond what the system produces. The outcome depends on household consumption, system production and the utility’s current rate structure.

Are Solar Incentives Available in Illinois?

Programs and tax incentives may be available to qualifying homeowners and projects. Eligibility, program values, rules and timelines can change. Solar Panther can explain programs that may apply and assist with applicable project documentation. Consult a qualified tax professional regarding individual tax eligibility.

Does Solar Panther Handle Peoria Permits?

Solar Panther helps coordinate the engineering, permits, inspections and utility interconnection required for qualifying projects. Specific requirements and timelines depend on the property, permitting authority and utility.

Does My Roof Need to Be Replaced Before Installing Solar?

Not every roof needs to be replaced. However, it should have enough remaining life to support the solar system for years to come. Solar Panther and Roof Tiger can evaluate the roof and help determine whether work should be completed first.

Can I Install Solar if My Roof Is Shaded?

It depends on how much of the roof is shaded, when that shade occurs and whether another installation area is available. Solar Panther evaluates the property before recommending rooftop or ground-mounted solar.

Can Solar Panther Repair a System Installed by Another Company?

We can evaluate many systems installed by other solar companies, including systems whose original installer has closed or stopped responding. Service availability depends on the equipment, design, condition, parts availability and manufacturer support.

What Happens if My Roof Needs Work After Solar Is Installed?

The panels may need to be removed before roofing work and reinstalled afterward. Solar Panther’s connection to Roof Tiger allows qualifying roof and solar work to be evaluated and coordinated within one local organization.

How Long Does the Solar Installation Process Take?

The physical installation is only one part of the project. System design, engineering, permits, equipment availability, utility applications, inspections and Permission to Operate can all affect the complete timeline. Solar Panther will explain the anticipated schedule for your specific project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Solar Panther exceeded my expectations. They were up front with pricing and time schedule. And they could tell me exactly who would be doing the actual work because everyone was local. Other solar companies couldn’t do that because they brought different contractors in from out of town and couldn’t give an accurate schedule for the work. The battery backup generator eliminates the need for a noisy gas generator!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had my solar panels installed about 4 months ago and I am glad I did.  Started my solar journey with another company but went with Solar Panther because they are local and honest.  Installation and the entire process went very smoothly and they kept me well informed through it all.  Had a micro-inverter go out today and they noticed it before i did and had a team out to do the warranty repair the same day!  Very happy that I went with Solar Panther!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Solar Panther put the solar array on my house in conjunction with Roof Tiger (their sister company) who put on my new roof. The quality of their work is solid. We had a pile of issues with getting engineering approval for roof deck load because my house is 100+ years old -and- I foamed in the roof deck 8 years ago, so it was very difficult to get an engineering group to assess it. Ben was diligent, tenacious even, and got the approval take care of. Connecting to the house was a breeze, running conduit through the roof eaves down to tie-ins next to my meter. The panels are unobtrusive and lightweight, but fastened down well to channel frames. Balancing inverters are part of the roof hardware, so there's nothing special at all in my main panel. We just had to have room for large breaker. No batteries. No fuss. Cutoffs are external to the house, for Ameren personnel to use. My house is now part of the grid, which has been a goal of mine for over a decade. There's a lot of paperwork involved with solar, and Solar Panther took care of all of that. They have also kept in touch with me to make sure I was properly set up with Ameren to get my full 1-to-1 reimbursement for any surplus energy I deliver to the grid. (Yes, that means my meter runs backwards at times, which is pretty cool.) I talked with them a lot before we started this project: about panel longevity, rebates, reimbursement from Ameren, and also their involvement in the long term health and functioning of my solar array. I was concerned with how well this technology is going to age and how Solar Panther would support it. Solar Panther doesn't just show up, stick some panels on your roof, and walk away. They monitor and maintain your array. That's just part of their business. The best part of all this is that once the panels were connected, it has just worked. I don't expect to have to spend any amount of my time fussing with the system, and I certainly haven't had to do much in the last four months since our install went live, except watch my power bill go down. I recommend going solar. I recommend Solar Panther.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I researched 5 different providers and ultimately selected Solar Panther. They are a locally established company and use locally established suppliers. Communication was and still is great. The sales process was easy. No hard sell tactics. Just good people having open conversations. Would recommend them to anyone.
