Grassroots Education

Whether you’re upgrading your home or property with solar panels or subscribing to community solar, choosing to go solar is a big decision. Get the trusted guidance you need to make an informed decision by connecting with Illinois Solar for All Grassroots Educators.

What is a Grassroots Educator?

A Grassroots Educator is a non-profit community-based organization that partners with the ILSFA team and has in-depth knowledge of the program. They are members of your community, representing local non-profit and faith-based organizations. Grassroots Educators inform and engage community members about the benefits of going solar.
