Local Help Before, During and After Installation

Solar Panther provides more than solar panel installation. We help homeowners evaluate their options, coordinate the details of a new project and care for their systems after activation.

Solar Installation

We design and install rooftop and qualifying ground-mounted solar systems based on the property, available sunlight, household electricity use and homeowner goals.

Solar Repair and Service

Our team diagnoses production problems, equipment errors, monitoring issues, storm damage and other concerns affecting existing solar systems.

We can also evaluate many systems installed by other companies, including systems whose original installers have gone out of business, left Central Illinois or stopped responding.

Roofing and Solar Coordination

Because Solar Panther is backed by Roof Tiger, we can help coordinate projects involving both the solar array and the roof beneath it. That may include evaluating a roof before solar installation or removing and reinstalling panels when qualifying roof work is necessary.

Solar Financing Guidance

Solar Panther helps homeowners compare purchasing, financing and leasing based on the options available for their projects. We explain the costs, ownership considerations and tradeoffs in plain language so you can make a more informed decision.

Central Illinois Solar Service FAQs

What Areas Does Solar Panther Serve?

Solar Panther serves Greater Peoria, Bloomington-Normal and surrounding Central Illinois communities. Availability outside our core area depends on the address, project and type of service requested.

Do You Serve Rural Properties?

Yes, qualifying rural properties may be eligible for rooftop or ground-mounted solar installation. Site conditions, permitting requirements, utility territory, electrical infrastructure and the distance from the array to the home can affect feasibility.

Can You Install Ground-Mounted Solar Outside City Limits?

Potentially. Ground-mounted systems may be a good option for properties with sufficient open land and sun exposure. Solar Panther evaluates available space, shading, placement, trenching needs and local requirements before recommending a system.

Does Your Service Area Depend on My Electric Utility?

Utility territory can affect the interconnection process, rate structure and programs applicable to a project. Solar Panther will confirm whether it can serve your property and explain the utility-specific considerations relevant to the proposal.

Do You Repair Systems Installed by Other Companies?

Solar Panther can evaluate many systems installed by other companies, including systems whose original installers are no longer available. Service depends on the equipment, system design, condition and availability of compatible parts or manufacturer support.

Will You Travel Outside Your Installation Area for Solar Repair?

Repair availability is evaluated individually. Location, urgency, system equipment and the type of service required can all affect whether Solar Panther can accept a request.

Can You Coordinate Roof Work and Solar Service?

Yes. Solar Panther is backed by Roof Tiger, allowing our team to evaluate qualifying roof and solar needs together. This is especially helpful when panels must be removed and reinstalled for roof repair or replacement.

 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.
