Solar Installers Serving Chicago Suburbs
Across DuPage, Kane, and Will counties, suburban homes usually have larger, less-shaded roofs that are well suited to solar. We coordinate with each village's building department and with ComEd interconnection.
Some suburbs, including Naperville and Geneva, run their own municipal electric utilities with their own net metering rules, so we confirm your provider before sizing a system. Battery backup is popular here for protecting sump pumps during spring storms.
Utilities in Chicago Suburbs
Many homes here buy power from a municipal electric utility, which sets its own net metering and interconnection rules. We confirm your utility's current policy before sizing your system; Illinois Shines REC incentives can still apply.
ComEd customers who interconnect today receive supply-only net metering credits that roll forward without expiring, and are eligible for ComEd's $300-per-kW Distributed Generation Rebate on qualifying smart-inverter systems.
