What this page shows
Illinois programs, in plain English
This page is for people who want a lower power bill. It shows which utilities we are working with in Illinois and what the current program status looks like.
Right now we list Ameren and ComEd for Illinois. If a program is open, you can start now. If a program is on hold, you can still send your info and we can tell you when it opens.
You do not need panels on your roof. You keep your same utility account. If you have your bill, uploading it is the fastest way to check.
If you want more background first, read our Illinois Shines guide, Is community solar legit?, Why do we need your bill?, or the full FAQ.
