Get Tax Credits Just for Going Solar!

There is a 26% federal tax credit for any new solar installation total system cost. For example, if you spend $50,000 on a new solar install, you'll receive a $13,000 credit when you do your taxes. Please note that this is a credit, not a deduction. So it is real money coming back to you!

The federal credit changes to 22% in 2023 and drops down to a projected 10% after 2023, if it's still available at all, so be sure to contact us soon to get started!

Other Incentives for Going Solar

There's a second huge incentive, which is offered by the state of Illinois when you go solar. The state has been mandated to source a certain amount of renewable energy (such as solar) in efforts to help our state go "green", so they are rewarding homeowners with money back in the form of an SREC (Solar Renewable Energy Credit).

This is a check mailed directly to a homeowner sometime 6-18 months after the solar system is installed. This is calculated based on the output of the system, so once the energy provider has had 6 months or so to monitor and review the output generated by that system, they're able to determine the amount of the SREC check they send to the homeowner.

The SREC amount paid to the homeowner is generally around 20-25% of the total system cost. So once you install a solar system, you can plan on seeing a 45-55% offset of the total installation cost provided by the federal tax credit and the state's SREC program.

The SREC program is not permanent, and once the allocated funds run out, it will likely no longer be available (or will at least be reduced).

Our Financing Program

We can qualify anyone with over a 600 credit score for as low as 1.49% APR financing over a 25-year loan. The goal is to keep the monthly loan payment amount lower than the current electric cost. You will be locked in at this fixed payment amount while everyone else is subject to soaring electric costs. We call this owning your power source rather than renting it!

We can perform a soft credit pull to determine whether or not you are qualified (this does not affect your credit). Call us today to learn more!
