"The investigative problem was solved very quickly and the expertise of Kern Plumbing was great. Turns out that there was not a problem with my property but the neighbor had a water leak that was draining onto my property. I was very grateful that the technician found the problem fast and we alerted the neighbor."

"Their profile says they provide free estimates. This is not the case. I called them first because they were nearby, but they still wanted to charge me to drive to my home and view the job so they could give an estimate. Who in their right mind is going to do this, or even choose to select a company that would expect this? For the cost of maybe $60 in gasoline, they lost what would have likely been a $15,000 job."

"I feel I must answer the 8/1/2018 review. In his review he failed to mention that the entryway to the crawl space is through an outside window, the crawl space is 22 inches deep & there is 2-3 inches of human waste at the bottom which meant the plumber would have to crawl on his stomach to fix the problem. Our plumber turned down the job & our friend was not charged for anything. Our plumber was trying to find a company that could help him. Our friend was understandably upset with his plumbing issue but to give our plumber a horrible review is uncalled for especially when he neglected to state all the facts. My husband & I have used Peoria Heights Plumbing for over ten years. Jeff, the owner, came to our rescue when we had several inches of water in our crawl space & he has been our plumber ever since. We will continue to use Jeff/Peoria Heights Plumbing & refer them to our friends. They are honest & dependable."

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in Peoria, IL

The physical construction phase typically requires two to four months following the receipt of all necessary approvals. At the same time, the entire development process from initial concept to operation generally spans three to five years. Factors affecting the timeline include site conditions, workforce size, and project scope. The majority of the development period involves securing regulatory approvals, completing environmental studies, and establishing utility interconnection agreements.

Developing a solar farm requires an average of $400,000 to $500,000 per acre for equipment and installation, excluding property acquisition expenses. Based on industry averages, a six-acre installation typically supports one megawatt of capacity, capable of powering roughly 164 homes. Project economics vary significantly depending on whether land must be purchased or leased, with substantial regional variations in property values.

A solar installation can generate an average of $14,000 to $40,000 annually per megawatt, with variations based on electricity rates and contract terms. Annual maintenance expenses of approximately $15,000 per megawatt must be factored into financial projections. Most facilities operate under long-term agreements spanning 15 to 25 years, providing revenue stability throughout the project lifecycle.

A 20-acre property can support a viable commercial solar installation. Based on industry averages, this area could accommodate approximately three to five megawatts of capacity, sufficient to power 600 to 1,000 residences. This scale falls within the commercial solar farm category, offering enough capacity to achieve reasonable economies of scale while remaining manageable for smaller developers or community-based projects.
