Explore Illinois Solar Incentives
In addition to the Federal Income Tax Solar Credit, many cities, municipalities, and utilities offer rebates or other incentives for solar energy technologies in Illinois. All Energy Solar can help find what incentives are available to you and assist in your applications.
The state’s two largest energy providers, ComEd and Ameren, offer Net Metering as required by the state. If you send more energy to the electrical grid than you are using, you can receive a credit on your bill. Contact an All Energy Solar consultant to see what incentives are available in your community.
What is net metering?
What is net metering? Net metering is the policy that allows people with a solar power system on their property to receive a credit on their electric bill for the excess energy they produce. Customers of participating Illinois public utility, municipal utility, and rural electric coops may participate in net metering, however the rules of how it works and how much compensation is received differ depending on the electricity provider in your area and the size of your solar energy system.
Solar power customers with utility net metered systems will be credited for each kilowatt produced by their system that is sent back into the grid. If your solar power generation exceeds your electricity usage for a given month, you will receive a credit for each excess kilowatt hour, to be applied in later months when you generate less electricity than you consume.
Illinois offers Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SREC) for both residential and commercial solar panel systems. SRECs provide payment based on the predicted production of energy in kWh for the solar panels over a specified amount of time.
The Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA) is designed to help the state reach renewable energy goals, and require stricter energy efficiency plans to be expanded, and is helping to create jobs and make energy more affordable.
ILSFA offers low-income homeowners and building owners the opportunity to participate in the distributed generation program by installing ground-mounted or rooftop solar panels on their property. Participants must not make more than 80% of the median income, and there are no up-front costs for participating. The program provides credits on your energy bills.
Illinois Shines, also known as the Adjustable Block Program, offers those with solar credits for the energy they produce from their solar array. There are no income limits for those who participate. Funding is based on what block an array is in, which is determined by the size and production of the array. Those who already have a solar energy system can register with Illinois Shines and receive 15 years of payments in return for solar renewable energy credits (SRECs).
ComEd offers a solar rebate for their commercial and residential customers installing solar or storage systems. Commercial and industrial customers can receive $250/kW rebate. Residential customers can receive a $300/kW rebate with a max system size of 5,000 kW.
Ameren offers a solar rebate for their commercial and residential customers installing solar or storage systems. Commercial and industrial customers can receive $250/kW rebate. Residential customers can receive a $300/kW rebate with a max system size of 5,000 kW.
Available to any property owner in the United States.
Established by The Energy Policy Act of 2005, the federal tax credit for residential energy property applies to solar-electric systems and several other renewable energy technologies. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, signed in December 2015, extended the expiration date for PV technologies, and introduced a gradual step down in the credit value for these technologies. Additional extensions of the federal solar investment tax credit occurred in 2020 and 2022.
Expenditures with respect to the equipment are treated as made when the installation is completed. If the installation is at a new home, the “placed in service” date is the date of occupancy by the homeowner. Expenditures include labor costs for on-site preparation, assembly or original system installation, and for piping or wiring to interconnect a system to the home.
The maximum allowable credit, equipment requirements and other details vary by placed in service date, as outlined below.
Solar-electric tax credit step-down schedule
- 30% for all systems placed in service between 1/1/2022 to 12/31/2032
- 26% for systems placed in service after 12/31/2032 and before 01/01/2033
- 22% for systems placed in service after 12/31/2033 and before 01/01/2034
- Standalone solar battery storage is eligible for the tax credit, as of January 1, 2023
- Systems must be placed in service on or after January 1, 2006, and on or before December 31, 2034.
- For residential installations, the home served by the system does not have to be the taxpayer’s principal residence.
- For both residential and commercial installations, if the project meets certain criteria, the Investment Tax Credit can be greater than 30%.
If the federal tax credit exceeds tax liability, the excess amount may be carried forward to the succeeding taxable year. The form that you will need to complete in order to file for the federal tax credit is Form 5695. It is to be filed in conjunction with your Federal Income Tax Return. This form can be found at www.irs.gov.

Available to any business in the United States.
Under the federal Modified Accelerated Cost-Recovery System (MACRS), businesses may recover investments in PV through depreciation deductions. A solar PV system is classified as five-year property (26 USC § 168(e)(3)(B)(vi)) under the MACRS, which refers to 26 USC § 48(a)(3)(A) to define eligible property.

Available for rural customers, as defined by the USDA.
The Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) provides financial assistance to agricultural producers and rural small businesses in rural America to install solar PV systems. The maximum funding available is 25% of system cost, and each business’s total incentive will be determined based on a business-level feasibility study.
