LGCY Power Reviews

There has been nothing but great things from this company. My rep, Lyle, has been awesome from the very beginning. Very professional and helpful. The solar panels haven't had any issues. My power bill was lowered by about $150+/month.

From beginning to end, LGCY was very attentive and thorough, helping us get approved for solar through their provider. We've had an amazing experience with these panels. Based on our usage, LGCY accurately advised us how many panels to place on our house. Our bill is affordable and less than our average was with Edison. We havent had an Edison bill since! LGCY has also checked on us several times to make sure we are happy since our install 2 years ago. Thanks LGCY!

The solar power installation was quick and well positioned on the house roof for optimal sun capture. The customer service unit was very helpful in the first few months while I was adapting to the reports and usage cycles. My house value has increased with the addition of solar energy. I am very happy with my investment with Legacy Power. Mrs Jeanne T.

They were great. The weather was iffy all day. Threatening rain in the morning with actual brief rain showers durning the afternoon. They were forced to stop during the showers but as soon as they could after the shower they completed the installation. Jesse was a great crew chief. He kept me informed and explained how to turn the system on once the final inspections were complete. I was very pleased with them and happy that I chose LGCY power.

LGCY (now Arcadia) made the process of signing up for solar easy and straightforward. Sonya and her team were super friendly and helpful, and they took care of everything (submitting HOA docs, scheduling inspections with the county and utility, etc.). My only critique would be that I wished they would communicate more clearly where in the process things stood. There are quite a few steps and if you've never been through it before you may be confused what is supposed to happen and when.

11/10!! The install crew did such a good job!! Our salesman Hunter (Hunter the solar guy) was so kind/respectful to our family/dogs! After a few months I had to give him a call he was there within 30 mins and answered all of our questions with no b.s and happy to call him a friend now! He even brought pizza for us/the install team along with Lgcy hat for my son Love my experience

I have worked with a number of companies, yet I have never experienced such poor scheduling, miscommunication, and misrepresentation. There appears to be a trend in that the poorest of service occurs in Central IL. Please note that my comments are not specifically directed at Ameren or the contractors (who were polite and understanding) or Everbright (who has been clear and helpful in the process). I had also shopped around for solar provided and chose LGCY based upon the data and assurances they made. I chose LGCY because they were set to replace my electrical panel (which needed to be done anyway) and I believe in the promise and responsibility of green energy. Please note that I had to pay a considerable amount out of pocket (~1500) to have a portion of a tree removed to ensure efficiency. I figured that this would be worth the $$, as the savings the representative showed me would cover that in the long run. However, they neglected to highlight that, while the Ameren bill would be lower, a bill would still need to be paid to Everbright. This was in the Everbright contract, but I assumed (since they also neglected to highlight they would be putting a mechanics lien on my home) this would still be worked through Ameren. I now know I should not have trusted or assumed given my experience with the company. The actual installation coordination was the biggest issue. Calling it a disaster would be too polite. There were reschedulings on multiple dates: 09/24/24 10/16/24 10/29/24 11/22/24 12/30/24 01/22/25 And that last date wasn't even their last visit. I am a remote employee so I a) need power to my home and b) have to make up the hours I miss or use vacation time/personal days to ensure I am here to let folks in and have everything set up. I also cancelled my holiday travel because they had to reschedule that installation to the 30th..and, if I recall correctly, that was the day that noone mysteriously showed up because they had fired or lost contact with the installer/electrician. I was given a name to call (Chris, who may have been the one let go) and was then given the name and number of Karen T (his supervisor, on the East Coast) who, even now 4 months later, has never returned my call or voicemail. On one of those dates above, they had an appointment for the next day and I had reached out the evening before because the equipment hadn't been redelivered. Despite this outreach, they did not cancel, a contractor showed up, and we had to reschedule. The actual installation (not connection) of the panels was on a Saturday. I was woken by their team without warning early in the morning ( I dont wake early on Saturdays, as I need to catch up on sleep). When they finally did the installation, I received multiple different answers as to how it would be set up. One person said it would take 16 hours, while another said 4-6. Overall, it took a couple different appointments to get the whole thing done. The city inspector and Ameren reps were champs in the process, though I could tell they were frustrated by the scheduling conflicts and misinformation as well (though they remained professional). Most of the installers were great too, especially the second to last guy they contracted through. Polite and professional. But these weren't LGCY employees. And at least one of the other contractors repeatedly left my back door open (understandable to be open to a point...but not the whole damn time especially when it was below freezing and Im paying a gas bill...) and left cigarette butts in my back yard and driveway. I spoke to folks who used other installers to get their solar panels. One person expressed that, when his installer had to reschedule, they offered him compensation for the time he took off work and the inconvenience. I asked LGCY if this was something they could do and was told they would look into it. Unsurprisingly, I never heard anything further about that. And, please note, I asked a few different times... I did hear that my sales rep took a hit on his commission to make my project happen, though I a) don't know if that's correct and b) question why he would have to do that when its the fault of both management and their scheduling team for most of the issues caused. I can't comment on the actual final costs just yet. I'm waiting to get my next Ameren bill and the new alleged bill on top of that from Everbright. But, even if I save a bit per month (which I am dubious of), it would not make this whole process worth it. That said, I still believe in the promise and opportunity of green energy as well as each person's responsibility to aid in the transition in some way. I believe the private market can also play a role here, and national statistics and researchers appear to agree (given the boom in solar tech and installations). However, it is also my responsibility as a consumer and participant in the broader economy to warn others of companies who behave incompetently or irresponsibly. If you're in central Illinois and you're considering solar, great. Just don't go through LGCY.
