Commercial Solar
Solar That Pencils Out for Illinois Businesses
Commercial solar economics depend on your rate class, demand charges, roof or land available, and incentive timing. We model all of it and give you a clear payback analysis.
Federal Section 48E credits are still available for qualifying commercial projects, but the timeline is tight: projects that begin construction after July 4, 2026 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027. Talk to us early.

FAQ
Commercial Solar Questions
Can my business still get a federal solar tax credit?
Qualifying commercial projects can still claim the Section 48E credit, subject to new construction-start and placed-in-service deadlines. Consult your tax professional; we'll coordinate timelines with them.
Do non-profits qualify for Illinois Shines?
Non-profit-owned systems can participate in Illinois Shines, and Illinois Solar for All runs a dedicated program for non-profits and public facilities serving income-eligible communities.
