Earth Wind & Solar Energy LLC

Earth Wind and Solar Energy, LLC (EWSE) is a renewable energy company founded and based in Chicago, Illinois, in 2008. The company is notably recognized as Illinois’ first female minority-owned firm specializing as a premier designer and installer of sustainable energy systems and efficiency solutions. Serving residential, commercial, and institutional clients across Chicago and greater Illinois, EWSE is driven by a mission to provide affordable, clean energy solutions using cutting-edge technology. Founded by Riana and John Caravette, the firm operates with a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and customer-focused service, aiming to maximize both environmental impact and cost savings.

EWSE provides a comprehensive range of services, including the design and installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, solar thermal solutions, wind turbines, and geothermal heating/cooling systems. The company also offers energy-efficient lighting upgrades, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure installation, battery storage solutions, and building energy audits. EWSE differentiates itself by handling projects end-to-end—from consultation through design to final installation—and by its reputation for technical expertise and high-quality work, which has resulted in a strong, nearly 100% referral-based business. They emphasize their specialized, “all under one roof” approach, distinguishing themselves from competitors who act primarily as sales or call centers.
