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.

How can a Grassroots Educator help me?

Grassroots Educators are here to help you understand how solar energy works and access affordable solar energy through the Illinois Solar for All program. You can connect with a Grassroots Educator anytime to schedule a one-on-one conversation, attend one of their events, or simply ask a question, from how the program works to how much you can expect to save on your electric bills.
