What to know in Illinois.
ICC’s net-metering administrative rule establishes standards under the Public Utilities Act; coverage follows the act and the relevant electric provider.
ICC’s 2026 energy-planning page identifies updated net-metering and distributed-generation tariff filings. Confirm the tariff effective for your project rather than freezing a prior-year credit policy.
Ask the utility about new-system billing, any preserved legacy eligibility, and whether equipment changes trigger a new interconnection review.
Who provides electricity here?
Narrow possible delivery utilities by ZIP or confirm yours
Find the delivery utility on your electric bill first. A retail supplier or on-site solar seller may be a different company; your delivery utility handles the local grid connection.
Official company database; distinguish the distribution utility from an Alternative Retail Electric Supplier. A supplier listing is not a delivery-territory guarantee.

No matching providers in this reporting snapshot. Check the official directory above.
Official logo sources · Initials indicate a logo not yet verified. Municipal-owner emblems identify the owning city or village.
Source: EIA-861 final 2025 detailed data · Reporting year 2025. Names and reported counties are historical survey data, not a live address lookup. A county can have several providers, and a listing does not mean every resident can choose it. Small/territory-only reports may not identify residential service separately.
Credits, rebates, and other opportunities.
Check the program’s scope before comparing savings: a tax exemption, equipment rebate, loan and electricity-export payment provide different benefits. Funding, utility territory, income, equipment and installation dates can limit eligibility. Amounts below are not added together or deducted from product prices.

2 state & utility records
Illinois Shines
Illinois Power Agency / Illinois Shines administrator · Solar
The 2026–27 program supports eligible on-site and community solar through renewable-energy-credit contracts.
- Benefit
- REC prices and payment schedules depend on program category, project and contract; do not assume all proceeds go directly to the homeowner.
- Who may qualify
- Approved Vendor, eligible project category and current program capacity/contract conditions.
- Before applying or buying
- Use an Approved Vendor; review disclosure, REC ownership, payment terms and application approval before committing.
Illinois Solar for All
Illinois Power Agency / Illinois Solar for All administrator · Solar
Income-eligible residents can pursue approved residential solar or community-solar participation through the program.
- Benefit
- Program consumer protections and project terms determine installation costs and bill benefits; not a universal cash award.
- Who may qualify
- Income verification, appropriate housing/project type, site suitability and an Approved Vendor are required.
- Before applying or buying
- Verify income through the official process and arrange an Approved Vendor site assessment before signing. Do not submit personal data to an unverified vendor.
No matching records in this reviewed selection. Check the official program sources for more options.
Illinois Shines is REC-based support through Approved Vendors, not a blanket percentage rebate. Solar for All adds separate income and consumer-protection rules. This is a curated starting list, not every local incentive or a guarantee of available funding.
Federal programs in every state
The federal rules below apply nationally. State-administered federal rebates still require the local program to be operating and your project to meet its conditions.
Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D)
Closed / endedNot available for new property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Do not assume a federal 30% credit for a new 2026 solar, wind, geothermal or battery installation.
IRS: Residential Clean Energy CreditEnergy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C)
Closed / endedThe federal home-efficiency credit, including qualifying heat-pump improvements, ended for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.
IRS: Energy Efficient Home Improvement CreditHOMES / High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates
Eligibility / funding conditionsFederally funded home-energy rebates operate through participating local administrators. Check the state program’s launch, current funding, eligible measures and application requirements. This is not a blanket rooftop-solar rebate.
DOE: Home Energy Rebates ProgramWeatherization Assistance Program
Eligibility / funding conditionsIncome-eligible households may receive approved home-weatherization services through local agencies. This is assistance delivered through a program, rather than an automatic reimbursement for equipment you buy.
DOE: How to Apply for Weatherization Assistance
Permits and electrical codes.
Illinois CDB directs project code questions to the city, village or county code official and explains differing state/local code applicability.
Use the adoption authority linked below to check the effective date and amendments. The newest published NEC edition is not automatically the edition adopted for your project.
Before ordering equipment.
Two conversations. Keep their answers separate.
Track permits and interconnection in a project
- Confirm the permit authority
Ask the city, county, or state electrical office which building, electrical and fire-code editions and amendments apply to this address. Request the solar/ESS permit checklist and inspection sequence.
- Confirm the utility process
Give the serving utility your proposed capacity, inverter model and operating mode. Ask which interconnection application, tariff, export limits, meter changes and written operating authorization apply.
- Document the exact equipment
Collect model-specific certificates, installation manuals, a one-line diagram, site/roof plans, and the battery/inverter pairing if storage is proposed. Check them with the permit authority and utility before ordering.
For the general permitting and inspection process: DOE: Permitting and Inspection for Rooftop Solar .
UL, NEMA, and system acceptance.
Different evidence, different scope.
Check the exact model and approved system configuration. A UL 1973 battery listing or UL 9540A fire-test report does not, by itself, establish UL 9540 certification of a complete storage system.
