Sunrun lead installer John Wincz works on attaching solar modules to Sun City resident George Ciesla's roof on Wednesday, Oct. 9, 2019 in Huntley. Ciesla will be leasing three solar arrays, comprised of 17 solar modules, at $65 per month over 20 years, but will be saving approximately $25-30 each month on his electric bill. The savings will add up and help Ciesla and his wife pay for their Del Webb home. "If not, the grandkids will have nicer birthdays and Christmas," he said with a chuckle. There has been much controversy regarding proposed solar farms in McHenry County in the past few years and Ciesla attributes that mainly to how people perceive their appearances. "Look at your electric bill," he said, adding "I think that makes them beautiful."
