Available Programs

Incentives & Rebates You May Qualify For

Federal, state, and utility programs can significantly reduce your project cost. Here’s what’s currently available in Illinois.

Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

Deduct a significant percentage of your solar system’s cost from federal taxes. Available for residential and commercial installations.

MACRS Depreciation

Commercial projects can accelerate the depreciation schedule on system costs, improving project economics beyond the tax credit alone.

ComEd Solar Rebate

ComEd offers rebates to residential and commercial customers who install solar, reducing upfront cost and improving your return.

Ameren Illinois Solar Rebate

Ameren Illinois provides solar rebates for residential and commercial installations across its service territory.

Illinois Shines (SRECs)

Earn Solar Renewable Energy Credits for your system’s production, credits you can sell for income beyond your energy savings.

Illinois Solar for All

Expands access to solar for qualifying low-income households, nonprofits, and public facilities through additional incentive support.

Property Tax Incentive

Qualifying solar installations may be eligible for a reduced assessed-value impact, keeping your property taxes from rising with your system’s value.

Sales Tax Exemption

Qualifying solar energy systems may be exempt from sales tax in Illinois, lowering your total installation cost.

Stacking Incentives the Right Way

The biggest incentive dollars come from combining programs correctly, not choosing just one.

The federal ITC, MACRS depreciation, Illinois Shines SRECs, and utility rebates can often be claimed together, but the order and documentation matter. Greenlink structures the stack so nothing is left unclaimed and nothing creates a compliance issue down the line.

Our Process

A Disciplined Approach to Capturing Every Incentive

Discover

Understand What You Qualify For

We start by mapping every federal, state, and utility incentive your project may qualify for, not by assuming a generic package applies.
This includes evaluating:

  • System size, location, and utility territory (ComEd vs. Ameren Illinois)
  • Project timing against current program windows and allocation blocks
  • Federal tax position and ability to use the ITC and MACRS depreciation
The goal is clarity – so you know your real incentive picture before you commit to a system design.
