Delia Perez, a resident of the Lawndale neighborhood in Chicago, shares that she decided to participate in the Illinois Solar for All: Community Solar program to save money on her electric bill while also helping the environment.

“A community solar project is like a big solar farm,” said Perez. “You get credits for the solar energy that you subscribe to, and you see the credits on the electric bill.”

Perez recommends ILSFA’s Community Solar program for other homeowners, sharing that she saves an average of $50 per month on her electric bills.

When asked about the future, Perez shared her optimism about solar energy. “I want to see my grandchildren get solar.”
