Find Out if Solar Makes Sense for You See How Solar Works

A Solar Plan
Built
Around You

Solar isn’t a one-size-fits-all investment. Before recommending a system, we look at your electricity usage, property, budget, goals, and how long you expect to remain in your home. Then we walk through the numbers with you so you can understand the potential costs, savings, and tradeoffs.

Sometimes purchasing a system offers the strongest long-term opportunity. Sometimes leasing provides a more immediate monthly benefit. And sometimes continuing to purchase electricity from the utility is the better answer. Our job is to help you understand the difference, not push you toward a predetermined option.

Is Solar Right for My Home?

A strong solar proposal begins with more than available roof space. We review your electricity usage and design the system around the energy your household actually consumes. We also consider your property, budget, goals and anticipated time in the home.

The result is a recommendation built around your situation — not an oversized system, a generic package or a sales quota. Let us design a solar plan around your actual energy use.

We provide a full roof assessment & determine panel placement (roof mount or ground mount). From there we examine your electricity usage, property, goals, budget and anticipated time in the home.

Compare Your Options

We walk you through staying with the utility, leasing solar and purchasing a system so you can understand the potential costs and benefits of each.

Design and Engineer Your System

If solar is the right fit, our team develops a system designed around your property and actual energy needs.

Handle Permits and Approvals

Solar Panther coordinates engineering, permitting, utility requirements and applicable incentive paperwork.

Install Your Solar System

Our local installation team completes the work with careful attention to your roof, electrical system and property.

Connect and Activate

We coordinate utility interconnection and help move the system toward Permission to Operate.

Monitor and Support

Our relationship doesn’t end when the panels are installed. We monitor, service and stand behind the systems we install.

Solar Panther was created to give Central Illinois homeowners a better way to explore solar: with clear information, thoughtful system design and a local team they can continue to call after installation.

Backed by the established Roof Tiger organization, Solar Panther brings roofing and solar expertise together under one roof. Our shared local operations, finance and project-management teams help guide every project from proposal and permitting through installation, monitoring and service.

With more than 200 completed solar installations, we understand that choosing an installer isn’t only about who can put panels on your roof. It’s about who will still be here when you need support years from now.

Questions? Answered.

Is solar right for my home?

Let’s find out. Whether solar makes sense depends on the property, energy use, budget, goals and how long the homeowner expects to remain there. Solar Panther evaluates these factors before making a recommendation.

Should I buy or lease my solar system?

Both paths can offer benefits. Leasing may provide more immediate monthly savings, while ownership may offer greater potential long-term savings. We’ll compare the options using your priorities and financial goals.

What does Solar Panther handle during the project?

Our team coordinates system design, engineering, permitting, installation, utility interconnection and applicable incentive paperwork.

 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.
