WindSolarUSA would like to celebrate its 100th installation with new solar family additions, Dave & Melissa Stier...and boy did we all earn it! David Stier was a helpful participant in working with Menard Electric Cooperative, as their member, to get their policy amended to allow his installation before year’s end. The 9.735kW system, mounted on a detached shed, is estimated to offset 59% of his past year’s utility consumption. We were limited to 10kW DC or less for this system by the utility’s policy, but couldn’t have fit much more on the roof anyway. A big hug and welcome go out to the Stiers for fighting the good fight to ultimately achieve a better policy for all members in Menard’s utility territory...and needless to say we are pretty proud to have completed our 100th install before we pass into the new year. Happy New Year to all and wishing for continued solar growth/considerable expansion of our family in 2019. Woo hoo! ... See MoreSee Less

Welcome Ramon Lopez to our solar family! This 8.4kW system featuring American-made modules and racking sits atop a newly installed metal roof. We stayed high on the east/west slopes to maximize production. Ramon will experience minimal shading from the trees to the south, primarily in the winter months, but the DC optimizers we installed will ensure that each module is doing its best work and that those that are not shaded are not pulled down by those that are. Ramon comes to us as a referral from existing solar family members, Ric Thompson and Luz Lopez. We are so excited to have two generations now in our ever-expanding solar family! Go Solar! ...

The first Riverton Solar installation is complete, inspected and producing energy above average for this month thanks to all of the sunshine we have been enjoying! Rob and Carolyn Bjerk attended a presentation at Williamsville Public Library and caught the solar bug. With the help of the Village of Riverton’s Building and Zoning Committee and Village Board, new solar ordinances were passed and the Bjerk’s “bug” became a reality. The 9.9kW system is estimated to offset 87% of utility consumption and pays for itself in less than 5 years! Solar is alive and growing in Riverton! Welcome Bjerk’s to our ever-growing solar family! ... See MoreSee Less

Running a little behind on posts to our page in regards to recent installations that have been completed. I'm having a hard time keeping up with our install teams of Lock Home Construction and Senergy Electric- good work, guys! The next projects featured are for Judy and Rodney Becker and I give them a big hug and welcome to our solar family as we had to go through some trials and tribulations to get to the finish line of installation. We installed two systems at the family farm site...a 4.9kW ground mount at Judy's home, in Ameren utility territory and an 8.4kW ground mount at the family farm across the street in Menard Electric Cooperative's (MEC) territory. Due to a policy change in MEC's interconnection agreement, we did not think we were going to be able to get the latter installed. After diligently working with MEC staff and attending a board meeting to address their board, a change to the policy was made that allowed us to complete this installation. We are very pleased that we were able to come to a mutually agreed upon solution to allow both of these systems to be installed prior to year's end. They feature an in-state manufactured racking product, American-made SolarWorld modules and SolarEdge inverters and optimizers. The Beckers were wonderful partners on these projects and stayed the course with us through the process with Menard Electric. In the end, everyone won and the clean power from the sun will be feeding loads at this historic farm site. Go Solar- fight when needed- celebrate when done! ... See MoreSee Less

Welcome Doug Van Meter of White Hall to the WindSolarUSA solar family! The 12.24kW ground mounted system features racking made here in IL and Mission Solar 360 watt modules assembled in San Antonio, Texas. Payback is 3.7 years with an estimated offset to the Van Meter’s utility bill of 78% and an impressive 29.5% 25 year internal rate of return. Who’s investment portfolio is doing that? This system also will offset 13.48 tons of carbon emissions to our atmosphere! Go solar, support in-state manufacturing, provide yourself a good hedge against inflation and do your part to cut carbon emissions...the Van Meters did just that and we thank them for their business! ...
