BY D. NOEL
If you’ve been thinking about solar—but aren’t sure where to start—you’re not alone. Homeowners across Southbury are facing rising utility bills, aging power grids, and a growing desire to live more sustainably. And yet, when it comes to solar, many still feel overwhelmed by options.
THAT’S WHERE ION SOLAR PROS (ISP) IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
Headquartered in Middlebury, Connecticut, this homegrown company is bringing high-quality, integrity solar solutions to neighborhoods throughout the region. Since its founding in 2017 by solar industry veteran Bill Barrieau, iSP has helped thousands of homeowners across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York design and install custom energy systems that reduce costs, increase home value, and contribute to a cleaner future.
“At iSP, we’re not just installing panels—we’re giving people the tools to own their energy future,” Barrieau says. That commitment is reflected in the company’s mission: “Revolutionizing the energy landscape by providing freedom, sustainability, and preservation throughout the world.”

Ion Solar Pros doesn’t just install systems—they empower homeowners to make smart, informed decisions. Each customer receives quotes for all three of iSP’s meticulously engineered packages—Pro, Pro Plus, and Pro MX—so they can choose the best fit based on energy needs, lifestyle, and budget.
“Our approach is simple: educate, empower, and overdeliver,” says Powering Possibility: How Ion Solar Pros Is Shaping the Future of Clean Energy. “We want every customer to feel confident, supported, and excited about going solar.”
This transparency-first model mirrors the customer experience found in companies like Apple or Dell—allowing people to “shop within the brand” and make the best choice without pressure.

“We want to thank Graham, iSP’s sales manager, for being so knowledgeable and informative. He was punctual, easy to talk to, and responded to questions immediately. On the day of installation, Kyle, John, Dwayne, and Jimmy did a fabulous job from start to finish—friendly, efficient, and informative. We’ll definitely recommend iSP to friends and family.”
AWARD-WINNING INNOVATION
Ion Solar Pros was honored with the Better Business Bureau Innovative Marketing Award in both 2023 and 2024, recognized for their creative strategy, measurable campaign success, and unwavering ethical marketing practices. The 2023 award specifically acknowledged iSP’s PowerHouse Systems campaign, which helped redefine how solar is communicated—with clarity, authenticity, and relevance. In 2024, the award spotlighted iSP’s impactful partnership with Connecticut basketball phenom Donovan Clingan, showcasing the company’s investment in local talent and community engagement. These consecutive honors led to CEO Bill Barrieau being invited to join the Board of Directors for the Better Business Bureau Serving Connecticut—a testament to the company’s leadership and values.
