We're open for business amidst the COVID-19 crisis and continue our commitment to saving the world. Our clients are our first priority and we've implemented necessary measures to serve you as safely and contact-free as possible.
Who we are
Windfree Wind and Solar Energy Company was founded early in 2009 by a team of creative energy visionaries and early adopters of sustainable technologies. Windfree's team includes a well-respected, multi-disciplinary group of Chicago’s business, architectural, artistic and community leaders. The team believes alternative energy solutions must be researched, installed, monitored, tested and be supported by local legislation. For potential clients, from institutions to private users and from architects to families, we can assess energy needs, outline objectives, determine appropriate energy solutions, implement the necessary systems and processes from purchasing to installation and from project management to permitting and future energy planning. Windfree’s products and services are proactive responses and practical solutions to the energy crisis and are ways to move toward energy independence.
We are the future.
Save money. Save the world.
