How Will Solar
Uplift Your Energy?

Solar empowers you to choose where your energy comes from for your family, likely for the first time ever. With the cost of solar panels and solar energy technology steadily decreasing over the years, going solar has never been more affordable. It’s no wonder the popularity of solar is growing rapidly in Illinois.

Brighter Energy, Savings up to 65%

In addition to immediate energy bill savings, federal and Illinois state incentives help you save up to 65% off the cost of your solar array. Investing in solar can also increase your home value, benefiting you when it's time to sell or refinance.

Brighter Energy,
More Control

Solar is like owning a mini clean energy power plant on your roof (or yard). With utility rate increases in Illinois, going solar is a great way to lower your energy bill and lock in your utility costs. A solar + battery solution can protect against outages.

Brighter Energy, Healthier Planet

With 2,500 solar installations working for our community, we're proud to have collectively prevented 90 million pounds of CO2 from entering our region's atmosphere annually. That's equivalent to carbon sequestered by 50,000 acres of US forests. Join us!

Our handy two-minute quiz asks a series of questions to help determine whether your home is a good fit for solar. Everyone’s situation is different. We take pride in providing you with an accurate assessment.
