Take Control of Your Energy Future with Sunrun Solar Panels in Illinois

With Sunrun, You Can Create Clean, Affordable and Reliable Energy at Home

Illinois residents are used to severe weather in all seasons. Yet, as extreme weather events make severe cold, record rain, scorching heat and tornadoes more common across the state,1 having access to clean, affordable and reliable energy at home is now more important than ever. 

Thanks to the plummeting cost of home solar panels in the U.S.2 and the introduction of the Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA), there hasn’t been a better time to go solar with an Illinois solar company like Sunrun. Going solar lets you beat high electric bills when it's time to crank on the AC during summer or turn up the heat during winter. Plus, you can also reduce your carbon emissions and stimulate clean energy job creation in Illinois. 

Sunrun is the nation’s largest residential solar, storage and energy services company.3 We deliver clean, renewable energy to our customers by offering a variety of affordable Sunrun solar plans.

Owning Your System Means More Solar Benefits

With Sunrun in Illinois, you have the option to pay for your home solar system upfront with BrightBuy™ or, for $0 down and low, fixed monthly payments with BrightAdvantage.™ Both plans let you own the system and the solar energy for life while boosting your home value.4 

In addition, as an Illinois home solar owner, you’re eligible for a federal solar tax credit5* and the state’s Adjustable Block (AB) program, which lets you earn cash for every 1,000 kilowatt-hours of Illinois solar energy generated by your system, known as a Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs).6

Aside from these attractive Illinois solar tax credits, the average payback time for a home solar installation in the Prairie State is only five years.7 So with systems designed to last 30 years or longer; energy independence is yours for the taking.
