Incentives & Benefits of Residential Solar Panels

Illinois Shines Program

Solar Renewable Energy Credits provide a monetary value to the system owner when transferred in the Illinois Shines program. Each applicable SREC is awarded for every 1,000 kWh produced. This new incentive will provide a 15-year production value, typically paid within 12 months after installation has been completed.

Federal Tax Credits

The solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is one of the most important federal policy mechanisms supporting the growth of solar energy in the United States. This credit allows you to reduce your tax liability by a percentage of the total cost of the system. Currently, the ITC includes a baseline 30% tax credit, with potential additional credits, such as a 10% Energy Community Tax Credit Adder if your project is located in a qualifying area. We recommend consulting with your tax professional to determine eligibility and maximize these benefits.

Net Metering for Illinois Solar Energy

Net Metering: Another financial benefit with solar is net metering, which is the exchange of bill credits for overproduction sent back to the grid, typically during summer months. Net metering allows you to balance out the solar production for the entire year by utilizing the production credits in the winter months when the sun is lowest in the sky. In other words, you can think of the utility as sort of a free digital battery bank.
