Our Beliefs & Credentials

Driven by Values, Backed by Credentials

We at Acorn Management Group believe that investing in solar energy should come with peace of mind, lasting value, and a trusted team that truly supports you. That’s why we have built our business around integrity, reliability, and expertise, ensuring that solar customers receive the full benefit of their investment.

What We Believe

We believe in doing solar the right way, every time.

Solar projects involve an enormous amount of coordination, effort, and dedication. From permits to construction, we recognize how much work goes into each and every solar installation. Because of that, Acorn Management Group is committed to simplifying the incentives process for Illinois Shines Designees and solar customers. As an Approved Vendor (#856), we understand the ins and outs of the Illinois Shines program and are invested in assisting you by:

  • Making sure all applicable solar incentives are secured
  • Ensuring systems are properly registered and fully functional
  • Providing the kind of support that keeps solar systems running smoothly for years to come

We also believe our customers deserve:

Accurate and timely incentives

  • Clear, polite, and professional communication
  • Ongoing support that continues long after the install is complete

We are more than just aggregators – we are problem solvers and partners, committed to the long-term success of everyone involved.

Credentials That Matter

At Acorn Management Group, we don’t just talk the talk. Our knowledge and experience are backed by industry-leading credentials and certifications that reflect our expertise as well as our continued dedication to furthering our development within the solar industry.
