Community Solar is a large solar project in a specific utility territory shared by multiple subscribers, who receive credits on their utility bills for their share of power generated. Community Solar allows individuals, businesses, schools, and other customers to access clean solar power when it is impractical, too expensive, or otherwise unfeasible to install solar panels on their property. With Community Solar, nothing changes about the electricity flowing into your house from the utility grid, but you earn monetary credits from the system that offset the cost of your electricity bill. You are also supporting the development of clean, renewable energy in Illinois.
