Illinois’s incentives for residential solar are on track to run out this December.
All the funds authorized under the Illinois Shines incentive program will be depleted in the next few weeks:
Illinois Shines Small Distributed Generation Incentive Depletion Forecast

A megawatt (“MW”) is a unit of electrical generating capacity. When MW Remaining reaches zero, no more incentives will be available.
This will be a tragedy on several levels. First, Illinois homeowners will lose out on an option to save money on electricity and protect themselves against future cost increases. Second, Illinois’s progress towards its climate goals will slow dramatically. The state still only gets 7% of its electricity from renewables.
