Although Illinois does not currently offer a tax credit for installing solar, there are still a couple of tax incentives that are worth taking advantage of when you install solar in Illinois.
Illinois’ SREC Program is one of the most appealing reasons to install solar in Illinois. It provides system owners with the ability to earn money for the extra energy their panels produce. Every megawatt hour (MWh) of renewable electricity your system sends to the main utility grid is converted into a credit that you can sell for monetary gain.
