2018-2019 Project Submissions Review is Complete - Illinois Solar for All

*The Low-Income Distributed Generation, Low-Income Community Solar, and Non-Profits/Public Facilities sub-programs are formally known as the Residential Solar, Community Solar, and Non-Profit and Public Facilities sub-programs.

The Illinois Solar for All Program Administrator has completed its review of the project submissions for the 2018-2019 program year. The current eligibility status for each of the sub-programs is as follows:

  • Illinois Solar for All: Community Solar: 31 eligible projects with incentive values totaling $149.2 million.
  • Illinois Solar for All: Residential Solar: 0 eligible projects.
  • Illinois Solar for All: Non-Profit and Public Facilities: 12 eligible projects with incentive values totaling $3.2 million.

These determinations mean that the project selection protocol will be necessary only for the Community Solar sub-program.

Below are the final sub-program budget amounts for the Illinois Solar for All 2018-2019 program year. Program administration expenses were prorated across the three non-pilot sub-programs according to the percentage of sub-program allocations. The Adjusted RERF (Renewable Energy Resources Fund) Budget for each sub-program is calculated by subtracting that sub-program’s Expenses from its RERF allocation. The sub-program Adjusted RERF Budget, combined with Utility renewable energy resources funds, totals the available funds within each sub-program for REC incentives for the 2018-2019 program year. Funds not allocated to 2018-2019 program year project applications will be rolled over to the 2019-2020 program year budgets.
