Illinois’s Solar For All program offers multiple benefits aimed at making solar energy accessible and affordable for income-eligible households and communities, especially those in environmental justice areas. The key benefits include:
- No Upfront Costs: Participants pay no or very low upfront costs for solar installations or subscriptions, removing a major financial barrier to adopting solar energy.
- Guaranteed Savings: The ongoing costs or fees participants pay will never exceed 50% of the value of the energy generated by their solar system or subscription. This ensures that participants save money on their electric bills, with average savings for single-family homeowners reported to be over $1,000 annually.
- Equitable Access: The program specifically targets income-eligible individuals, renters, non-profits, and public facilities, promoting equitable access to solar energy in both urban and rural Illinois, particularly in marginalized communities.
- Supports Solar Development: It stimulates solar energy development in Illinois by providing incentives to approved solar companies to expand solar access statewide.
- Economic Development: The program fosters job creation and job training opportunities within historically underserved and marginalized communities, supporting local economic growth.
Overall, Illinois Solar For All helps participants save money, provides clean renewable energy, supports community economic development, and promotes energy equity and environmental justice across Illinois.
