Illinois Solar Rebates

Illinois solar rebates and discounts can greatly reduce solar installation costs. First, home and business owners who install solar panels are eligible for a federal income tax credit worth up to 30 percent of total solar installation costs.

Next, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity offers a program known as the Solar Energy Rebate Program. This Illinois solar rebate covers as much as 30% of the costs, up to $30,000 for installation. Another Illinois solar incentive is a Special Property Tax Assessment offered to residential and business taxpayers.

Illinois is a net-metering state. This enables you to send any excess power your system generates back to the utility. You will earn credits for this excess power.

Thanks to Illinois rebates, solar installation costs are more affordable than ever.
