ILLINOIS
Homeowners and businesses can reduce their system cost by 20% with Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECS). These cash payments are paid quarterly over 5 years and are akin to a rebate. The amount paid is based on net metered production of the solar system.
*Churches and schools in Illinois can save significant funds with Power Purchase Agreements (PPA).
Collectively known as “third-party ownership,” solar PPAs are a great way to start generating clean energy without up-front capital investment. PPAs lock in lower solar rates and reduce utility expenses for non profit organizations.
