Illinois residents are used to extreme weather. But as severe rain, scorching heat, and tornadoes become more common across the Prairie State due to climate change,4 clean, safe and reliable energy is more important than ever.

Now is the time to make the switch with an Illinois solar company like Sunrun, thanks to the plummeting cost of residential solar panels2 and the introduction of the FEJA.1 Going solar will give you more control over your electric bill, lower your carbon footprint and boost solar jobs in Illinois.
