Our dedicated team serves a variety of industries and businesses throughout Illinois
and Missouri with state-of-the-art solar energy systems. We provide the highest quality
solar solutions for your enterprise, from education to manufacturing and everything in
between.
Car Dealerships
Our solar systems help you improve your customers’ car buying experience thanks to lower utility bills and operational costs.
“EFS told us exactly what was going to happen. They told us when we could expect the check. The check is actually a rebate from Ameren. And then we get a federal rebate that we get tax credits for. I mean it just keeps giving and giving.”
-Bill Straatmann, Owner, Straatmann Toyota, Washington, MO
Commercial Service Providers
We provide tailored solar solutions that enhance energy efficiency and reduce operational costs for your commercial enterprises.
“Their (EFS) attention to detail on the plans, getting things scheduled, payment at the end is all made for a great relationship. If you can’t trust who you’re working for it makes a lot of projects not go as well, but it’s been a great business relationship the last several years.”
-Steve Weeke, Owner, Weeke Sales and Service, Okawville, IL
Educational Facilities
Our renewable energy solutions help you set a positive example for both parents and students. Promote environmental stewardship and showcase sustainable energy practices while saving money on your utility bills.
Since 2019, Barron Gymnastics and Barron Swim School have saved $115,000 in operating costs.
Farms
Meet your farm’s unique energy demands with a high-performance solar energy system. Our solar energy systems are designed to improve sustainability and reduce energy expenses for your farm’s operation.
“We wanted to make sure that we could control long-term operating costs with minimal amount of labor and time to manage our one operating expense that we thought we could do quite well by using solar power.”
-Larry Hasheider, Owner, Elm Farms, Okawville, IL
Manufacturing Facilities
The installation of our solar energy system will help increase your production not your energy bills. Take advantage of solar power and its many benefits for your manufacturing company.
“Knowing that we’re creating less of an impact on the environment by creating our own energy and being able to use it in-house, just makes us feel like we are making a contribution.”
-Terry Twenhafel, VP of Finance, Wehmeyer Seed, Mascoutah, IL
Harness Clean Energy & Save Costs
Benefits of Solar Power for Your Business
Save Thousands on Electricity Bills
Any amount you pay upfront comes back to you with savings that accumulate in thousands over the years. Just like ATK Dairy in Breese, IL, who saves about $35,000 annually on energy costs after going solar with EFS in 2024.
Your Investment is Protected
Quality solar panels come with warranties to secure your investment, so your system is guaranteed to perform for at least 25 years. The solar system installed in 2017 at Renner Farm in Belleville, IL continues to deliver 100% of the farm’s energy needs in 2025.
Federal Tax Credit
Receive up to 30% of the eligible cost of your solar project back with the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). Save even more with local rebate programs in IL and MO. For example, Absolute Clean & Restoration in Mascoutah, IL installed a 26-kW solar system in 2022. With the available incentives and rebates, their initial investment was reduced by 93% and paid for itself in just over one year.
Positive Environmental Impact
Solar energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps improve air quality for current and future generations. A current example of sustainability in action took place this year. The Village of Carrier Mills, IL made a strategic investment in sustainability by installing a 186-kW ground-mounted solar array at its Tuller Road Sewage Treatment Facility. By reducing reliance on the grid, this project lowers utility costs and helps stabilize municipal operating budgets. It also reinforces the Village’s commitment to environmental stewardship and energy efficiency.
Energy Independence
Choosing solar power lessens your business’ reliance on external power sources. You will be more resilient to power outages and price fluctuations from your local power provider. For Auffenberg Dealerships, they offset approximately 80-90% of their power consumption across two dealerships.
