Illinois commercial solar projects qualify for 30% SRECs – an upfront payment for the renewable energy your system generates over 15 years.

Stack this with the 10% smart inverter rebate and 30% federal tax credit, and you're at 70% total.

We’re brewing something new. 🍻 Today, we joined Revolution Brewing to announce the new ComEd Breweries Pilot, an energy efficiency program designed to help breweries, distillers and wineries reduce energy costs through free assessments and targeted solutions.

With Chicago leading the nation in breweries and energy costs on the rise, this program focuses on brewing-specific equipment and processes to help businesses save energy and lower costs. This is all part of our ongoing commitment to affordability for our customers and communities.

Seeing our name in lights at Soldier Field!

What are SRECs?

SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Credits) are payments you receive for generating clean energy. Your solar installer handles the paperwork.

You get an upfront check.
Starting June 1, Illinois residential SRECs increased from 30% to 40%. Add the 10% smart inverter rebate, and homeowners save 50% total.

No gimmicks. Just savings.

We are so incredibly proud to celebrate our partners at Revolution Brewing for becoming the very first participant in ComEd’s brand-new Breweries Pilot program!

We had the honor of tripling their Avondale rooftop solar array, making it one of the largest brewery solar installations in the entire state of Illinois.

Huge congratulations to Josh Deth and the whole team you are truly crushing it and showing us all what sustainable growth looks like!

Northbrook community showed up with so much curiosity and heart.
Real conversations, real curiosity, and people who truly care about what’s happening in their community. It felt less like an event and more like neighbors coming together to learn, ask questions, and figure out what sustainable choices actually look like in real life.

If you left thinking, “Maybe solar could work for us…”

The Windfree team is happy to help you understand what solar could look like for your home or business.

What helped you choose Windfree Solar?

“There’s some history here. Eric Heineman was the Sustainability Director for the City of Chicago. Years later, when I saw he launched Windfree, it just made sense who’s better than Eric? I trusted him. I knew he understood this industry inside and out.”

Local expertise matters.
Solar isn’t the same from state to state what works in Texas doesn’t translate to Illinois, and vice versa. That’s why having a Chicago‑based installer who understands Illinois Shines, local permitting, and utility processes is so important.

If you manage or own a commercial property in Chicago, now is the time to look at solar with real numbers, not assumptions. As an Approved Vendor, we handle the entire Illinois Shines process from start to finish.

DM “COMMERCIAL” and I’ll show you what your building qualifies for.
