Illinois Solar Incentives & Rebates

No federal amount is assumed for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.

• The IRS determines qualified property, expenses, ownership, and placed-in-service timing.
• A tax credit is different from a rebate, REC payment, utility export credit, or financing discount.
• Review Form 5695 instructions and your own tax circumstances with a qualified professional.

Potential REC value is project- and program-year dependent; ask an approved vendor for the current contract.

• Review REC quantity, ownership, delivery schedule, payment timing, and consumer disclosures.
• Confirm the project and vendor are eligible under the current program year.
• Do not assume a generic percentage of project cost or that an estimated REC value is guaranteed.

Program support may be available to eligible households, nonprofits, and public facilities under current rules.

• Income documentation, program category, provider participation, and funding apply.
• Confirm current consumer benefits and contract protections with the official program.
• Keep private income documents out of public calculators and comparison forms.

ComEd and Ameren Illinois rules, tariffs, and any rebate documents are not interchangeable.

• Match the project to the account, utility territory, current tariff, and interconnection guide.
• Ask which utility document supports any rebate or export assumption.
• Separate REC economics from utility bill credits and the cash project price.
