How does Community Solar in Illinois Work?

Step 1

Large scale community solar gardens are developed at off-site locations by private developers to generate clean, carbon-free electricity.

No solar rooftop panels are required on your residence.

Step 2

The community solar garden generates clean, carbon-free electricity and supplies it to the utility’s power grid for delivery to its distribution customers including homes, schools and business.

Step 3

You enroll as a subscriber to the community solar facility, and you receive a community solar credit on your monthly utility electricity invoice for your portion of the solar power generated each month. MC Squared Energy Services, LLC. (mc²) bills you separately based on the community solar credit that you receive, and you will retain a minimum of 10% as your monthly savings! There are no other fees involved – it’s that simple to support solar generating resources in Illinois and receive a guaranteed savings for participating.
