ILLINOIS SOLAR INCENTIVES ARE SOME OF THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY!
With our multi-state background and more than 2,500 installations to date across all locations, we’re well-informed on the benefits of solar power upgrades, from the federal tax incentives to Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SRECs) through the Illinois Shines Program. Here’s an overview of the benefits for homeowners and businesses:
- Federal Solar Tax Credit — Also known as the Solar Investment Tax Credit, provides a federal tax credit equal to 30% of the total cost of solar panel installation and battery storage. Any remaining balance can be rolled over to the following year, and there is no cap on the amount of the credit.
- Illinois State Property Tax Exemption for Solar – Provides an automatic tax exemption and you don’t have to apply for it. When the local tax assessor is determining your tax-assessed value of your property, they will simply not include the value of your solar power system as part of the value.
- Illinois Solar Net Metering – Whether you’re an Ameren or ComEd utility customer, you can benefit from net metering. This means you’ll receive a credit on your energy bill for all the excess energy your solar energy system generates and sends back to the grid, helping you to offset your electricity bills with solar. In Illinois all utility companies participate and offers the full retail rate for excess solar energy.
- ComEd Commercial Solar Rebate Program – Offers up to $250 per kilowatt for systems under 5,000kW.
- Illinois Shines — This state program pays solar customers for energy produced. Payments continue over the life of the solar installation as long as it is producing power and on average residential solar energy systems could see $10,000 or more in savings.
ILLINOIS FARMERS BENEFIT FROM AGRICULTURAL SOLAR
