I keep re-reading Wil J’s horribly shortsighted review and I cannot fathom what his beef is with Tom. Had Hummingbird install a 8.55kwv solar array and the system is already outproducing our anticipated output for winter expectations. Perhaps If William did a bit more initial research, he’d realize that 2.5kwv max on a 3k system is not abnormal. In fact if he’s getting that as an average in the Chicago area, that’s actually a decent output. Getting a reasonable ROI for solar is very difficult in Illinois for a dozen + reasons and you can’t blame the installer if you can’t figure that part out. Tom was straightforward and frank with setting project expectations. He was always honest and accurate with his quotes and billing and saved me over $5000+ compared to other quotes on the project. He and his guys have done two relatively major electrical projects in the house since the solar install and my wife and I have been happy with his work. Tom’s a local small business man and can only be in so many places at once. 4.5 stars for some (mostly understandable) project lag, and very minor work area clean up annoyances by some of his workers.

Tom Odena should be working for someone else if Hummingbird Electric in Palatine IL is not bankrupt already. I used Hummingbird Electric and Tom Odena to install a 3k Solar unit several years ago. It still only operates at 2.5k max. He blames his supplier, he blames his personal circumstances, etc. Tom Odena needs to blame himself and realize he is overmatched and unqualified to be doing solar installations as well as major electrical projects. He doesn’t reply to messages so not sure if hes still in business. Tom is a nice guy, can do minor electrical handyman work but for anything major steer clear. Good luck
