Grow Solar Chicagoland makes solar more affordable and easier to attain by providing bulk pricing on equipment and labor with qualified and experienced installers. Between this program and the solar tax credit, you can purchase your own solar system at a large discount. The program is run by the Midwest Renewable Energy Association and Citizens Utility Board and is open to homeowners throughout the region, including Lake County. Attend a free Solar Power Hour to learn more about the basics of solar, suitable sites, and financial considerations. Grow Solar Chicagoland is available through Friday, September 30.
