Windy City Solar Group

Windy City Solar Group (WCSG), also referred to as Windy City Renewable Energy, LLC, is a solar power systems installer that caters to both residential and commercial projects within the Chicagoland Area. The company installs solar photovoltaic (PV), Building Integrated Photovoltaic Panels (BIPV), and solar hot water heating systems. WCSG was established after helping homeowners save money with its first company, Windy City Construction Group, and continues this mission by assisting and educating the community on the benefits of solar energy.

The company emphasizes the financial and environmental advantages of switching to solar power. Customers are encouraged to go solar due to potential reduction or elimination of energy bills, increased property value, and access to tax credits and incentives. Specific benefits highlighted include the 30% federal income tax credit on total system costs and Illinois’ net metering policy, particularly with Commonwealth Edison, which buys back excess electricity. Additionally, solar installations are protected from property tax increases due to the Special Assessment for Solar Energy Systems.
