Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions

Do you serve Columbia, IL?

Yes. SunSent serves Columbia and nearby Metro East communities.

Columbia has grown fast with a lot of planned subdivisions — will my HOA have a say in a solar installation?

Columbia’s rapid growth since the 1990s means HOA-governed subdivisions are more common here than in most Monroe County communities. Your HOA will likely require a written submission before installation — under Illinois law they can’t block solar, but they can set reasonable placement conditions (such as restricting front-facing panels). We recommend pulling your CC&Rs early in the process. We’re familiar with Columbia’s newer subdivisions and can help prepare HOA submission materials so you’re not dealing with back-and-forth delays once the installation is scheduled.

Do I need a roof review before installing solar?

Yes. A roof readiness review helps determine whether your Columbia home’s roof is in good condition before solar panels are installed, so your system is built on a reliable foundation.

Can solar be installed on an older roof?

It depends on the roof’s condition. If your Columbia home’s roof is near the end of its life, SunSent can recommend roofing work first, then install your solar system on a solid, long-lasting foundation.

Do you offer storm damage roof reviews?

Yes. SunSent can review your Columbia home for signs of storm-related roof damage before planning a solar or roofing project, helping protect your investment from Illinois weather.

Do you offer backup power options?

Yes. SunSent can help Columbia homeowners explore backup power options, like batteries and generators, for added peace of mind during outages.

I had solar panels installed on my home a few years ago by SunSent Solar. I wasn't sure if it was the right choice for me and it was a big leap and not all that inexpensive. Fortunately it was the right decision as the project has greatly reduced my expense from the electric company. I now pay for electricity for just 3 or 4 months during the winter and even those bills are much less that what I had before. I am saving thousands each year and with electricity prices continuing to rise the gear will pay for itself sooner than I thought possible. I am so glad I had the solar installed and highly recommend SunSent Solar for providing the same benefit for others. The best financial move I ever made.

I think that we finally have Ameren satisfied with all the disconnects and meter. As usual, John did a great job with the final installation today.

I've been a Sunsent (Solar) customer for several years, and recently my system encountered an issue. The technician they sent out, Jon, came out diagnosed and addressed the issue promptly. He even offered to address an issue outside of the scope of his work (but within the scope of the company). If you get Jon as a technician, you should relax because you're in good hands!

Nick & Jon were excellent. In 90* heat after a 5 hour drive to get here, they remained professional, determined, and focused on getting everything working properly. I totally appreciate their dedication and commitment. Highly recommend them and grateful for their hard work.

Jordan and the team did a great job at installing our panels back in October. We were lucky enough to get the tax credit from the federal government last year as well for the install. With a pool and air-conditioner running the entire month plus June being a hot one our electric bill was only $41 put that into contrast at the same time as last year when it was $360. Months of May, April, and March our bill was $0 and even got a credit for some months. With not having any other electric company besides AMEREN you really have two choices... continue to pay what they bill you or produce your own power. Yes there is a quite an upfront cost but if you plan on staying in your house for 10 years it will come close to paying you back and you will have one less expense.

I purchased solar panels for my house from sunset solar and I have zero regrets. Jordan was so helpful through the whole process and has made sure even with time to check back in. With My monthly payment and my ameren bill combined, it’s not near as much as I used to pay. One month my ameren bill was even negative. So happy I made this purchase and would recommend them to anyone! :)
