Ilumen Solar - Lake Barrington, Illinois

We recently finished working with Ilumen Solar for our company's solar installation, and their patience & professionalism throughout the entire process was the highlight of their customer service. What began as a typical project turned into a long journey due to unforeseen delays (specifically with Com-ED), and construction upgrades on our end. Despite the drawn out timeline, Zach & Dan at Ilumen Solar remained patient, understanding, and committed to our project.

From the very beginning, the team worked closely with us, providing updates, answering every question we had especially helpful as a newbie to solar. Their customer service truly stood out when we had to deal with roofing inspections/roofing warranties where they went above and beyond to make sure things went smoothly with the roofers. The only thing we would warn to someone looking to install solar is the additional cost associated with maintaining roofing warranties.

There was a mix-up with the Elk Gove Village inspection but Ilumen quickly corrected the issue which was just another example of quality customer service. The final solar layout on our roof is fantastic, and we’re already seeing the great positive impact of the solar panels on our energy costs without even a full winter month of generating.

Would highly recommend Ilumen Solar to anyone looking for a solar energy provider. Their patience, expertise, and constant support throughout our project were invaluable.

Ilumen was great to work with. They spent time answering all my questions about the process and design. Care was spent to let me know ahead of time typical issues that come with install and permits. They also worked quickly on paperwork and installation. The system has been up and running for a few months now with no issues and a lower ComEd bill.

We were impressed by the professionalism and transparency of Zach's team throughout our residential solar installation last year. The project involved more complexities than we initially anticipated, requiring us to gain a deeper understanding of various aspects before signing off and during the execution.
Zach, Dan, Dilip, and the entire team consistently provided excellent support and guidance, ensuring the project stayed on track. The system was successfully turned on November of last year and it has been fun to observe the production of green energy, even during the shorter days.
While the process had its complexities, the team's personalized attention and clear explanations made it much more manageable.
We truly appreciate the team's dedication to educating and informing their customers every step of the way. We highly recommend iLumen to anyone considering solar.

ilumen Consulting Approved Vendor services was able to secure a little over $600k in Illinois SREC and rebate funds for two of our commercial projects that were left behind by our previous installer. We were in a tough spot, and we’re thankful Dan and the team were able to come through in submitting our incentive application to secure our previously promised funds. If any project owners are in a tough spot and need assistance, you’d be in good hands here

ilumen installed my second solar system (I wish I had used them for the first one as well). Everything about their work was great. Zach is very experienced and knowledgeable, their whole team was polite and very quick with clear communication, and the price was competitive. I hope they stick around a long time because they do work that's far better than other companies I've worked with.

I have been interested in solar for several years. After initially talking last fall with a company that leases their system for 20 years, I looked into the option of purchasing. I met in person with Zach and he thoroughly answered my extensive list of questions and it quickly became obvious that purchasing a solar system was the better way to go, especially with current incentives. In addition, Zach is passionate about this industry and his knowledge is extensive.

After deciding to move forward, all the stages went surprisingly smoothly. From the agreements, to the permitting, to the installation, through to the system activation. Updates from Zach and Dan were frequent and the installers they use, Fresh Coast Solar, were very professional, easy going, and they did a great job.

Next for the results. I went live with my installation on January 2. My January electric bill was down 40% from last year, my bill for February was half of last year, and I am currently on track to have a credit for the month of March. And this is in the off season!

I would highly recommend ilumen Solar as a fantastic local company. and I am looking forward to seeing how the system produces in the coming peak season.

We had wanted to go solar for years. The main stumbling was the long ROI. Even though we plan to stay a long time in this house, 12 year ROI seemed to big of a stretch. Ilumen Solar was able to show an ROI in less than half that time.

Zach, Dan and the rest of the team are a pleasure to work with. They really enjoy what they do and it shows in the results. They kept me informed every step of the project. The installation is clean and solid.

We are very satisfied with ilumen. Zach and his team explained all of the details about the project very thoroughly. The prices were very competitive with the other vendors. The difference was it the everything was explained in detail and his communication was excellent. All of his team were professionals and lived and breathed solar. Zach continues to follow-up with us after the project is completed. The also were very clean in the installation. 100% recommend ilumen!
