Is Photovoltaic Right for Me
Solar Photovoltaics will reduce or eliminate your electrical utility bills!
Are you frustrated with your electric bills? Would you rather produce your own clean energy? Or how about minimizing your dependency on fossil fuels? If you answered Yes to these questions then Earth Wind And Solar Energy has the right solution for you.
Owning a solar PV system from Earth Wind And Solar Energy is like having your own power plant on your property. But the big difference is rather than burning fossil fuels you harness the clean abundant energy of the sun. So what happens when it’s cloudy? Solar modules have come a long way and can produce energy even in low light situations like cloudy days. On sunny days you may even see your electric meter spin backwards. This means you are actually producing more energy than your building is using. The excess electricity is sent back to the grid and you build credit at your electric utility. At night or on cloudy days when your solar system is not producing an excess you draw back those credits.
If you are looking to reduce your electric bill and reduce your carbon footprint, or just want to make the world a better place to live. Now is the time to go solar! With federal, state and local incentives combined with decreasing cost, solar is now affordable for many consumers.
A Site Assessment is the first step in determining if solar PV is right for your residential or commercial application. Our professional staff will:
- determine your solar window
- evaluate your energy needs
- design a custom system that suits your specific goals
- provide a proposal that includes a turnkey solution from start to finish

Wind Power
Earth Wind And Solar Energy LLC offer our clients a very efficient method to harness the strong Chicago winds. Our wind turbine systems are unique and specifically designed for urban environment because they can catch the wind from any direction at the same time. Over the last decade, the cost for wind turbines has steadily improved thus making it more affordable.
With our elegant design, expert site assessing and professional installation, you can assure your turbine will provide many years of worry-free performance. Take advantage of the federal, state and local incentives as now is the easiest time for you to join the green revolution.
Is Wind for Me
Wind Turbines have come in off the farm!
Urban Turbines as we call them have come a long way from their huge megawatt turbines in rural areas. The idea was to take advantage of the unique wind patterns around the city and harness this power to produce electricity. While it is fairly easy to determine how much energy can be harnessed in a wide open field like a farm. It takes much more insight and experience to make a urban turbine thrive on top of a building. It is with knowledge that we bring to the table to ensure your turbine not only looks good but performs.
Since placement of your wind turbine is so critical in deciding whether wind power is right for you. A Wind Site Assessor is your first point of contact to start. They are trained to analyze what physical attributes of your site will enhance or hinder a turbines performance. Then we determine what size will fit your needs.
Our Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT’s) are designed to harness a wide range of wind speeds and directions. Our turbines are very quiet and unlike Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT’s) they are very pleasing to the eye. What would make a turbine ideal for your location depends on a number of factors. One nice feature of our wind turbine is its potential to produce power 24/7. Since it does not rely on direct sun light for its source of energy, it can work both day and night as long as the wind is blowing. This can be the deciding factor on whether you go with solar or wind.
Our government has put in place a number of incentives to help you incorporate a renewable wind energy system on your building, or on your land. This makes it a great time to look into wind to meet your energy goals.
Professional Energy Audits
There is no better way to start down the path towards energy efficiency than with an energy audit from Earth Wind And Solar Energy. Our team of highly qualified energy auditors will come to your home or business and conduct a comprehensive evaluation to assess how much energy your building consumes and to evaluate what measures you can take to make it more energy efficient.
Our professional auditor uses a variety of techniques and equipment to determine the energy efficiency of your building. Using state-of-the-art equipment such as a blower door, infrared cameras, and gas monitoring devices, they can pinpoint where your building is losing energy. Our audit will help determine the efficiency of your home's heating and cooling systems and show you ways to conserve hot water and electricity for greater savings in your utility costs.
