I loved rx sun at first. They did a great job with the quote and giving me all the information. Was told an instal date and that date was not met, which I know things can happen. Turns out the village lost the paperwork for our permit. I had emailed rx sun multiple times to get a check on the permit and even called the village myself. After we finally get the solar installed I wanted a quote for a consumption meter. I was told I would get a quote and have not heard back after months. I have sent multiple emails and nothing back. Disappointing when you spend thousands with a company and they can’t return an email. I am now wishing I went with the other company I had in mind for solar. August 30 update. After posting my review Jeremy reached out to me to make things right. He was extremely helpful and made me feel assured he would find out what happened and why I wasn’t getting a response. He assured that’s not how they do business. Jeremy was great helping me add a consumption monitor to my set up and never had any issues communicating since.

When Illinois enacted the new energy legislation in September 2021, I decided it was time to seriously consider going solar. I read up on the federal tax incentives, the Illinois SREC program, and where the latest technology stood in terms of $/watt and inverter options. Using Energy Sage, I got two offers and additionally contacted two other local companies (CertaSun and Sun Badger). Noah at RxSun got back to me right away with a preliminary proposal that was below the average installed $/watt estimate for the Chicagoland area according to Energy Sage. After a few design iterations with the various companies, it was soon apparent that RxSun's proposed installation plan was going to maximize our power generation due to their panel dimensions (which were a good match for our roof) and their willingness to install panels on a steeper pitched section of our roof (which some of the other installers did not want to do). After signing the contract with RxSun for an August install date, the rest of the project went smoothly and in a timely fashion: on-site inspection, building permit, installation, inspection, ComEd interconnection, and system turn on in August as promised with good communication on what was happening all the way. Panels are generating the promised amount of power, but will have to wait a lot longer to see how close we get to the yearly production estimate. Overall, a low-stress experience as RxSun handled all the details. Would definitely use RxSun and Noah again on my next solar project.

Noah from RX Sun did a great job in designing and selling me on solar. I like to become an expert on things before I invest in them. So I probably asked a-lot more questions than the normal customer. Ultimately after reviewing multiple quotes and doing a-lot of research on my own of the proposed technology I chose RX Sun. I also chose RX Sun because they have their own in-house company to do the installations. I did not want to work with anyone who subcontracted the actual work. All the permitting and inspections were handled by RX Suns installer crew and I did not need to do anything. The installation went smoothly and they were very accommodating of my schedule for installation as my wife works nights and I could not have them on the roof during the day when she was trying to sleep. The install was very clean with no visible wire or conduit on the roof. This was a big concern because most of the systems in my neighborhood look terrible with a mess of conduit spaghetti running all over their roofs. Not my system, it looks great. Post installation there were a few configuration issues with some sensors but RX Sun and their installer crews were able to resolve them and follow up to make sure no other issues remained.

How long does a home solar system last?

Your homes solar panels will be warrantied for BOTH production of energy and mechanical integrity for 25 years. Even after the warranty, the panels will continue to produce electricity only degrading approximately %0.5 per year. So it is possible that after 50 years, your system is producing 75% amount of the electricity it was originally forecast to produce the first year it was installed.
