Residential solar
Install solar panels directly on a property. The building and project must fit the program’s requirements; an Approved Vendor can explain the proposed installation and terms.
Solar education · NNA + Elevate
Let’s talk solar.
Let’s make it make sense.
Elevate supports NNA’s solar education and outreach in South Shore.
Illinois Solar for All is a state program designed to bring electricity-bill savings to income-eligible residents and eligible nonprofit and public facilities. NNA helps neighbors understand the options and ask useful questions.
Three options · From the 2026 program flyer
Start with the option
that fits your situation.
You can explore solar even if you rent or cannot put panels on your roof. The right path depends on your household or facility and the program’s requirements.
Savings and consumer protections
Know what the program
is designed to deliver.
Illinois Solar for All requires participant savings. State incentives go to Approved Vendors, who must follow program standards for transparent pricing and fair practices.
Ask a vendor to explain all charges, expected bill credits or savings, and the agreement’s terms. The program’s savings requirement does not mean every electricity bill falls by the same amount.
Bring these questions.
- Which option fits my household or facility?
- What would I pay, and what savings or bill credits would I receive?
- Is the provider an Approved Vendor?
- What happens if I move or need to cancel?
