Illinois Community Solar Frequently Asked Questions
-
There is no catch. Joining an Illinois community solar program requires $0 upfront, $0 for enrollment, and $0 for maintenance. Because these projects are heavily backed by the state’s Illinois Shines initiative to boost clean energy, solar developers pass the financial incentives directly to you. You are simply choosing to buy cheaper, cleaner power.
-
Not a single one! Community solar is built entirely off-site on dedicated solar farms across Illinois. It’s the perfect option for renters, condo owners, homes shaded by trees, or anyone who doesn’t want the high cost or hassle of rooftop solar installation.
-
Yes! Community solar is designed specifically to be inclusive. As long as you have your own BGE, Pepco, or Delmarva account, you can participate. It doesn’t matter if you live in an apartment, a townhouse, or a rented house.
-
It’s incredibly seamless. Thanks to Illinois’ Utility Consolidated Billing (UCB) system, you don’t have to worry about managing two separate bills. You will continue to receive your standard monthly bill from ComEd or Ameren, but it will now feature a line item showing your community solar credits, automatically lowering your total balance.
-
No. You can cancel your subscription at any time. There are no enrollment fees, no cancellation fees, and no hidden costs. Our goal is to make clean energy the easiest choice you make all year.
