Despite the high rating, Solar One Illinois’s commercial approach in Northbrook didn't quite live up to the hype. We found their innovative model for solar installation to be lacking, and it felt like just another generic option among many we’ve assessed.
Unresponsive support and unclear pricing structure. Not recommended.
