Thanks to the Illinois Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, any home or business located within Ameren Illinois or ComEd utility service territory can take advantage of solar battery storage rebates. These rebates can significantly reduce the cost of adding storage to your solar project. Although stringent requirements and details are involved, the StraightUp Solar team is here to help.
In this webinar recording, StraightUp Solar’s VP of Development Shannon Fulton walks you though the requirements, important dates, and how much you can save. We can help with next steps whether you’re an eligible existing battery customer or want to join the StraightUp Solar community with a new solar + battery solution.
Illinois home and business owners must meet specific criteria to qualify for battery rebates, and the timelines differ between Ameren and ComEd. Ameren Illinois customers whose storage solution was added to their existing solar system after June 1, 2017, are eligible now for the rebate. Applications will be processed after January 7, 2023.
Those under ComEd service territory who added battery storage to their solar system on or after August 11, 2022, are eligible, with application processing starting on December 15, 2022.
The process begins with installing and operating a solar PV system and battery storage solution. Next, those qualified must submit a rebate application to their utility company. StraightUp Solar’s professionals will complete the installation and rebate application for you.
Once Ameren IL or ComEd obtains your application, you’ll receive the incentives as cash within 60 days after your system gains permission to operate. The cash incentives vary according to battery capacity in kilowatt-hours, but you can expect the following to apply:
For instance, a typical Illinois homeowner with a single Tesla Powerwall+ can expect an estimated cash rebate of $4,000 for their 13.5 kWh battery storage solution. There’s no better time than now to pair your system with battery storage or start your solar journey! What could you do with the extra cash?
