    PSG Energy Group

The West Aurora Public School District in the Chicago suburb of Aurora, Illinois chose PSG Energy Group as their partner to improve their districts’ energy efficiency and sustainability. PSG Energy Group helped West Aurora navigate the application for the Illinois Solar for All program designed to help homeowners, nonprofits, and public entities go solar with no upfront costs and guaranteed first-year savings of 50 percent.  

As an approved vendor and developer PSG Energy Group has the knowledge and expertise to guide applicants through the process, from start to finish. Working with the district, PSG Energy Group the school qualified for grants to install solar arrays on six schools in the district.  

These solar arrays on school buildings, rooftops, and covered parking and entryways, demonstrate the district’s commitment to clean energy. The energy savings help the school balance their budget, invest in education, and building maintenance all while reducing their carbon footprint.

Testimonial

  • We have been working with PSG... on procuring state grants to help us cover the cost of installing solar panels on multiple buildings within our district. They have been fantastic partners in that endeavor. PSG has navigated us through the time consuming and confusing application process by providing us with a steady hand and open communication. I am proud to report that we have had five schools approved for grants through the Solar for All program.
