Highly recommended
Ailey Solar just wrapped up installation of a 9.3 kW residential system for us in Chicago. Highly recommend them, they're great people to work with and everyone I dealt with was super knowledgeable. They're extremely clear about timelines & what to expect during installation.

Ailey Solar exceeds expectations
Ailey Solar installed solar panels for University Church in Hyde Park. They helped us through every step of the process. Because of their diligence in helping us obtain the city permit and inspections the panels were installed many months before we were expecting. They installed the panels on our century old building without leaving any marks on the ceiling in the interior which was amazing given the lack of space between the roof and the supports. They were exceptional through every step of the process. Would highly recommend.

Rooftop solar installation done well
Everything was done as promised, on-time and as-quoted. It felt as though everyone at Ailey was personally committed to the success of my project. I had lots of questions and concerns that needed explaining -- they never tired of answering my questions and sharing the reasons for doing something a certain way. There was a clear commitment to doing everything the right way, starting with the site survey. This is a solar installer I can recommend without hesitation.

A Happy Customer!
I decided to add a solar electric system to my house to save money and to do my small part to reduce consumption of fossil fuels. I began my search by consulting with local solar customers, the Illinois Solar Education Association, architects, and home remodelers. Ailey Solar Electric was mentioned often as a long-standing, reputable, and reasonably priced solar installer. I contacted Ailey and two other installers for information and quotes. Interestingly, the other installers recommended solutions that were either unworkable on my multi-faceted roof or did not meet local (La Grange, IL) construction codes. Ailey’s proposal was both workable and cost-effective. I signed up with Ailey and the process went smoothly: • Ailey surveyed my home to determine the optimal system for me – best initial cost and best return on my investment. • In advance, a project manager evaluated my home in detail to ensure that my existing electrical systems could handle the solar system and to address needed upgrades. • Ailey took care of all the complexities of dealing with city zoning, obtaining RECs for electricity generated by the system, obtaining ComEd approval, and integrating into the ComEd grid. • I was informed of progress every step of the way. • The installation occurred on-time and on-budget. I am generating the amount of electricity that was projected for me. I am saving the amount of money on my utility bill that was projected for me. I am a happy customer.

Cut through all the solar company options and use Ailey!
Having just moved into a new house prime for solar panels, we couldn’t wait to get started! After filling out an online form I was immediately contacted by 10+ solar companies, and it was a little overwhelming. I am a very big researcher and organizer of options before making big decisions. After many calls and emails with other companies, I finally chatted with Tony at Ailey. Immediately, I felt he and Solar were a great fit. He was very knowledgeable, clear in explaining a complex process in a simple way to this newbie, and very quick to respond to calls and emails – great customer service! A huge push for us was also learning (after starting the researching phase) that our friends had also used Ailey and were very happy with them and praised their proactive monitoring of the panels and alerting them when a fix was needed. Once we made the decision to use Ailey it was truly smooth sailing. Dorian came out quickly to asses our setup, and Chantal has been amazing with coordinating the government reimbursements and the town inspections. I have never felt more confident in a big purchase decision than I have with Ailey. All of the installation folks were very kind and worked incredibly fast. We have been thrilled with the support, expertise and speed at which Ailey has worked. I would highly recommend this company! Save yourself the time in go-rounds with all the options out there and go with Ailey -you won’t regret it.
