SUNBEAM INNOVATIONS
One of the most critical factors in solar ROI is how your utility company compensates you for excess energy. Illinois currently boasts some of the strongest net metering laws in the Midwest, specifically for customers of major utilities like ComEd and Ameren.
During the day, your solar panels will often produce more electricity than your home consumes. Under Illinois net metering rules, this excess energy is sent back to the grid. In exchange, your utility company credits your account at the full 1:1 retail rate. When you need to pull power from the grid at night, you use those stored credits, effectively making the grid act as a massive, free battery.
Net metering policies are currently shifting nationwide. Utility companies routinely lobby the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) to phase out 1:1 retail credits in favor of lower, wholesale buyback rates. By installing your system with SunBeam Innovations now, you can lock in favorable net metering terms before policy rollbacks occur.
