Meet Dave
30+ Years. 30,000+ Customers.
One Standard.
Dave Sonner founded Solar Power Midwest with one principle: verify everything before recommending anything. Over two decades in solar, backed by the 30,000+ customers his companies have served since 1993, that discipline is what separates SPM from companies that simply sell a big panel count.
Between Solar Power Midwest and its sister company, Renovate Right 365, Dave's team covers the whole house: solar and batteries through SPM, and windows, siding, doors and heat pumps through Renovate Right 365. Both are owned by Dave, so you deal with one team from the first visit to the last.
