There can be solar tax credits and incentives available at the federal, state and local levels. The calculator above will show you the value of all incentives your home is eligible for.
Solar makes you a lot of money in Illinois. Yes, we said "makes!" Even though electricity prices are relatively low, the state gets enough sun that solar power saves you big money from day one.
Home solar panels are cheaper than ever before. Combine the low prices with the 30% federal solar tax credit and the Illinois Shines incentive program, and a solar panel system can pay itself back quickly and give you free power for years to come!
It's a great investment to go solar as a homeowner here. Take a good look at our rundown of Illinois solar power incentives below.

The federal solar investment tax credit will have the biggest impact on the cost you will face to go solar in Illinois
If you install your photovoltaic system before the end of 2032, the federal tax credit is 30% of the cost of your solar panel system. This is 30% off the entire cost of the system including equipment, labor, and permitting.
Example: If your solar energy system costs $20,000, your federal solar tax credit would be $20,000 x 30% = $6,000.
The federal tax credit falls to 26% starting in 2033.
With net metering in some states, you get full retail rate credit for the amount of electricity you send back into the grid with your solar panels.
With net metering in place, your utility must track your renewable energy production and consumption during each monthly billing cycle. Any surplus energy is carried over as a credit onto your future bills. Net metering is required to be available under Illinois law unless a cooperative or municipal cooperation supplies your electricity. So far, so good.
Illinois’ net metering policy would be just about perfect if those credits hung around indefinitely, but they don’t. At the end of every annual period, all remaining credits expire and revert back to the utility without compensation. This means that you need to make sure your solar system isn’t so big that you generate more electricity in a year than you use, not that you would want to anyway.
You may select an annual period that ends with the last day of either their April or October billing period, so at least you have some flexibility to maximize your credit usage.
Note: Illinois is studying whether it should change the net metering program. If the program is changed or done away with, it could have serious negative consequences for the financial returns of a solar installation here. Check here for updates.
Illinois does not offer any direct cash rebates for solar panels, but does offer an excellent solar program called "Illinois Shines" that pays solar system owners a lump sum based on the expected value of the energy their systems will produce over time.
The Illinois Shines adjustable block solar grant program provides a bunch of upfront cash when you go solar. When combined with the federal 30% Solar Tax Credit, it can slash the cost of installing an average 6-kilowatt solar system.
Funds are paid out upfront to your solar installer based on the expected amount of solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) your system is projected to produce over 15 years.
To get this grant, you need to sign over your SREC rights to an approved vendor or solar installer. The best installers will guarantee your payment is received out of the program. This may increase their quoted cost of your installed system, as installers usually take the Illinois Shines amount off your quoted install cost.
If you’re in Chicago and other places served by ComEd, you (or your installer) can expect to receive about $64 for each SREC your solar system produces. An average 6 kW home solar system cranks out about 110 SRECs over 15 years, netting a grant amount of about $6,600.
Illinois has a property tax incentive to encourage solar power use. When you register your solar system with the chief county assessment officer, your solar equipment will be valued at no more than the value that would be given to a conventional energy system. That’s not as clear-cut as the 100% property tax exemption we’ve seen in a lot of states, but money saved is money saved, right?

I went on line to search internet for information on solar. I have never invested time or effort in solar. And no one in my family has. I went of a solar website to help homeowners try and learn about solar with all the vast amounts of information. It told me panels, materials, Federal Rebates, Illinois Rebates, warranties and more. I am very thorough as is my son Greg. We made a list of items we wanted to have done and what to avoid, as a lot of scary stories on the internet. My first 2 estimates I was not impressed at all. They sales reps were not knowledgeable and only seemed to want to pressure me to buy now, now, now, without even answers a few of my questions. My son and I almost stopped looking for solar. Then our Ameren bill came in $200 higher for our small house. We had to do something. I saw Solar Power MIdwest on line. I researched about them. I was very impressed. All the great reviews about them from so many people. My son said we should have them out. The woman sherri on the phone was so nice and professional and right away told me about inverters and solar panels than I could even keep up with. From her relaxed and professional attitude we invited them out. Dave and Angela showed up. They very nice, and answered all our questions. Dave was so patient, knowledgeable. Not only did he answer all our questions, he slowly brought up real concerns and challenges going solar. He showed Greg and I the whole process simply so we could understand. And answered all of them. He also said that they are very very good at what they do (as I read online), he said sometimes things are bumpy. Greg and I were so happy when they left. Most times after we buy we are nervous and ask ourselves if we did the right thing. Not here. On to installation. There were some issues with the weather, as it rained both times they came out, and deliveries from there suppliers. Our interconnection is so bad where we live in a very small town. The crew of guys were so nice. They worked through it all. What really made me happy is after they were done. When I went to Church the next day Solar Power Midwest seemed to be the talk of our little town. Why? The said how impressed the were with the crew. They knew I work and if the rain caused a delay, I would have to take another day off. They stayed until 6:10Pm on a Saturday. My neighbors even told me how they turned on their truck lights to be able to see. Earlier that day Robert, the crew leader, called Dave, our Saleman and President of the company, they needed parts. No suppliers open. And closed on Sunday. They knew I wanted it done by end of Sunday. Dave amazed me, he drove out 3 hours and delivered the parts needed. Wow. That was impressive. The crew worked all day on Sunday and the job is done. Sherri called and let me know all my paperwork for the state srecs was already done that Sunday night. All that above is best experience I have ever had. That is not the best part.... Dave made a big point at the time of sale, and what I wanted to hear. He said he can not stay on hold when he calls companies, push bottons, talk to people that don't know anything, on and on. I think we all know this. He said he grew up in the 80's and you answer the phone, not sit on hold. He made it a big point. Well that is what impressed me the most. When I called Dave he either answered or called me right back. When I called their office Sherri or their nice Production Manager Stephanie answered the phone. Job done well beyond my experiences in life and what I expected. Oh, one last point. I was talking to Dave about how my shower install company had gone out of business, as did the manufacturer. He said he could not promise it, yet, his guys are good at fixing things as many installing for many years, and construction back grounds. And they love helping people. Looking forward to it.

5 stars for timely communications, being responsive, and keeping me up to date on all changes. This is particularly important given how long the approval process is. Everyone I talked to was informed and helpful. They have great pricing options.

We were burnt by a previous solar company that went bankrupt mid-job so I was looking for an established company I could trust that would be more hands on. Tick Tock was everything I was wanted and then some. We live a couple hours away from their headquarters, but they never made an issue of the distance and were always available to answer questions quickly and professionally. They were great about handling my notoriously slow local permitting process and stayed on the city and utility till they completed the final inspections and I was able to turn on the array. They’re tech support is easy to work with and quick to get back to you with answers to even the silliest questions. I’ve already recommended them to a several friends in the area who are solar curious!

Terrible experience. Dishonest and Dishonorable company, IMO. We chose Blue Raven because our research indicated that they were an honorable and reputable company. In the initial consultation we even discussed with our sales rep, Kristen Ostrowski, that one of our concerns is that we don’t expect a company to be perfect, but that we expect a company to fix their mistakes. She assured us that Blue Raven Solar had an excellent track record of fixing their mistakes properly. Our experience couldn’t be farther from the truth. Our installation started on Monday 10/31/22, I was told that the install would be a 1 day install when scheduling it. The crew did not get finished that first day and the crew told me that they would be back the next day to finish the installation. Next morning, no one showed up. Our solar panels were left leaning against the house outside. I reached out to the company and asked why no one was at the job site. They then explained that the crew would be back on Friday to finish the installation. I explained that I didn’t appreciate the miscommunication and that I didn’t appreciate the panels that I was paying tens of thousands of dollars for being left outside leaning against my house for the entire week. To their credit they rescheduled some things and had the crew back on Wednesday 11/2 to finish the installation. The crew was very kind, however, they did leave a mess in the yard. Shingles laying about, tubes of caulk, drink cups etc. 11/4/22, I luckily was home with one of my sick kids. We went in to the kitchen and noticed water leaking from the ceiling on to the kitchen counter. Turns out the installation crew missed a rafter when installing the brackets and put a hole in the roof thus causing water to pour in from the rainstorm. I called Kristen and to her credit and the companies, they had someone to our house within 40 minutes of my call, and the roof leak was fixed within 15 mins. Additionally though, the leak did much less damage then possible because I knew how to get in to my attic, find the leak and put down towels and buckets to collect the water until someone showed up thus mitigating the initial damage in the first place. After the leak Kristen assured us that the company would hand the repairs to our ceiling. I explained to her that coming from a construction background that just doing touch up paint on a ceiling does not look good and that I wouldn’t be happy with that, that the whole ceiling would need to be repainted in order to be in good condition after the damage. She again assured us that the company would handle the repairs and told me specifically that she told her manager that the whole ceiling needed to be repainted. Then came the next 6 months. I’m writing this review on 5/12/23, and the ceiling still hasn’t been painted. Blue raven had someone out to patch the ceiling about a month later on 12/8/22. I asked the sheetrock company about repainting and was told that they were only authorized to do the patch repairs as necessary. Reached out to Blue Raven after the sheetrock company left and they told me that they would have someone contact me to paint my ceiling shortly. End of December I hadn’t heard anything so I contacted them again for a status update. I was told that they were having a hard time getting ahold of their paint contractor and that they would start looking for someone else. I asked if the whole ceiling was going to be repainted and they assured me that they would. They told me that someone would reach out in the next week or two to schedule the painting. Didn’t hear anything for the entire month of January. Reached out to the work order department in February for an update and they asked me if I had the paint on hand because that’s what their records indicated they were waiting for to move forward. I explained that nobody had communicated that I needed to get the paint, but that I would get it. We discussed the amount of paint that I should purchase, and the rep and I decided on two gallons of paint because they agreed that’s approx how much it would take to repaint the entire ceiling. I purchased the paint the next day and called them, I was told that they would now start looking for another contractor because they couldn’t get a hold of their paint contractor. Didn’t hear anything for the month of March to my recollection, so I called them at the beginning of April for an update. They told me that they were now going to start looking for a new contractor because they couldn’t get a hold of their paint contractor. This time I told them that was ridiculous because this is what I’ve been told for the last 4 months. Was told by the rep that he wasn’t the primary on my work order and that he was new, so he would have his coworker who was in charge of my work order contact me in the next day or two. I waited a week and never heard anything so I called back. I was told that they were going to start looking for another contractor because they couldn’t get a hold of their paint contractor. I asked to talk to a supervisor. I was transferred to Steven Hall - Work Orders Lead (According to his email signature). I spoke with Steven and explained my frustrations that this was taking so long to get taken care of. I explained to Steven that I own a construction company and that at this point they should just pay me to paint my own ceiling so that we could move on and have our ceiling taken care of. Steven told me to email him my bid. I did so, and explained that the pricing was due to the fact that its the whole ceiling, and due to the layout and fixtures there was quite a bit of prep work. Steven emailed me back and told me “We will only cover painting the affected area”. I called Steven and explained that I had been assured by my sales rep Kristen and multiple Work Orders Reps that my entire ceiling would be repainted, and even explained that his reps told me to purchase two gallons of paint to ensure that we had enough paint to cover the whole ceiling. He told me that they would not cover painting the whole ceiling. I reached out to my sales rep Kristen and explained my frustrations and that I was not happy that I had been strung along this whole time. She said she would contact some people, and explain the notes and situation and do what she could to get it taken care of because she was under the impression that the whole ceiling being painted had already been approved, something that she had communicated to me on multiple occasions through email, text and phone calls. I spoke with Steven again on 5/9 and he said again that they would not be repainting the entire ceiling. Asked to speak with his Supervisor, he told me that his supervisor was Eric and unavailable but that he would have Eric contact me. I text Kristen and told her about the call, her response was that she had sent her emails and “I’m sorry, I’ve done everything I can.” And that I would have to work it out with the work order department. I didn’t hear from Eric, so I called Steven again on 5/11 and was told that they would absolutely not be taking care of having the ceiling painted, that they would only cover spot painting the affected area. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect a company to leave your home in as good of condition as when they entered, especially when they are the ones who caused the damage in the first place. I was assured by multiple parties on multiple occasions that my ceiling would be repainted after they put a hole in my roof resulting in damage to my ceiling. Ultimately, Blue Raven is a company that tells you what you want to hear, and then doesn’t care once they have their money in their pocket. If you choose to use this company, you better hope that everything goes perfectly, but in my experience with this company, it won’t. And when they mess up, they don’t have the care or honor to follow through on what they say, or to fix the mistakes and damage that they are responsible for in the first place. Now, after 6 months of waiting, being the one to reach out for updates and trying to move the project along, and being told they would handle the situation multiple times, I have to be the one to pay out of pocket for my ceiling to be repainted.

Midwest installed an 18.9 kw ground mounted system for us that was an especially challenging set of circumstances. Without going into all the details, let's just say they went above and beyond to do whatever it took to make this work, and stayed at their quoted amount even after a lot of challenges. Top notch organization!

SunLight Solutions has solved our high energy bills. Our electric bills keep increasing and now after our solar panels have been installed our first bill has shown a nearly 50% decrease. Everyone at Solar Energy has been so friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. Keeping in touch with us and letting us know what to expect with every step was so helpful and we found it to be very comforting.

Thank you, RX Sun and Noah, for a great set of panels and awesome installation. I got quotes from 5 other companies before my friend told me about RX Sun. I was planning to go with one of the 5 companies and thought I’ll get one more quote from RX Sun since my friend referred them and I’m so glad I did. Noah made me an offer I couldn’t refuse with a 30 yr parts and labor warranty and REC panels. He also presented me with an amazing 0% financing deal that you’ll have to ask him about yourself. Noah was so knowledgeable and did not BS me like some of the other 5 companies I spoke with. He was able to explain the IL State credits better than the others. The IL credits can be quite confusing and the estimated credits the others gave me were all different so it was hard to know who to trust. The installation was scheduled and installed with no surprises. My 17 REC panels took 2 days to complete in Dec 2022 and they did a professional job. The company kept me updated on the permit process and the ComEd inspection along the way. They helped me file the IL State credits paperwork after the installation was completed and again, no surprises. My panels have been running for 3 months during the Winter, at the time of this review, and even with the Winter sun and shorter days the performance has exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to go through a full Summer to accumulate some ComEd “credits” so I can stop paying ComEd for my energy usage going forward. I am a Construction Manager by profession so it was refreshing how professional this company was to deal with. I rate this company a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend RX Sun and Noah Rothschild, in particular.

Thank you, RX Sun and Noah, for a great set of panels and awesome installation. I got quotes from 5 other companies before my friend told me about RX Sun. I was planning to go with one of the 5 companies and thought I’ll get one more quote from RX Sun since my friend referred them and I’m so glad I did. Noah made me an offer I couldn’t refuse with a 30 yr parts and labor warranty and REC panels. He also presented me with an amazing 0% financing deal that you’ll have to ask him about yourself. Noah was so knowledgeable and did not BS me like some of the other 5 companies I spoke with. He was able to explain the IL State credits better than the others. The IL credits can be quite confusing and the estimated credits the others gave me were all different so it was hard to know who to trust. The installation was scheduled and installed with no surprises. My 17 REC panels took 2 days to complete in Dec 2022 and they did a professional job. The company kept me updated on the permit process and the ComEd inspection along the way. They helped me file the IL State credits paperwork after the installation was completed and again, no surprises.

Jig Patel answered my inquire for answers to my home solar concerns. After about half a day of texting back and forth, I decided to meet him and get it done. As he is an independent contractor, he was able to give me the best deal amongst several competing companies. We decided to use SunRun to manage my solar and Bright Planet to install the hardware. Everything Jig promised turned out to be true. Bright Planet kept me informed every step of the way on the installation and SunRun sends out an email periodically to keep me up to date. The installation began within 3 weeks of signing the contract. Due to the weather, it was completed on 2 separate days, but the crews that came out were very friendly and knowledgeable. The installation is done very professionally and my city inspector only had good things to say about it. After signing the contract, I didn't have to do a thing. It was all taken care of by Jig, SunRun and Bright Planet. I'm more than pleased with my experience adding solar to my home.
