Chicago, IL · ComEd
Homeowners in Chicago who agreed to a solar consultation, confirmed as owners with every decision maker on the title there. For solar companies, sales managers and independent reps.
How it works
Exclusive homeowner solar appointments. Each appointment goes to one company only. Pay per sit, prepaid in blocks. A sit means the owner of the home is there, every decision maker on the title is there, and the visit happens at the booked time or a new time the homeowner and your team agree on. Your team has 48 hours after the visit time to dispute one with a reason. An approved dispute earns a replacement appointment, never a cash refund.

We confirm the homeowner owns the home and that every decision maker on the title will be there, then book a time that fits your calendar.
Your rep runs the visit. If it does not sit, dispute it within 48 hours with a reason. An approved dispute earns a replacement appointment, never a cash refund.
The Chicago market
How ComEd and IL rules treat home solar, checked against official sources. Every fact links to its source below.
The residential solar credit (section 25D) ended for systems completed after 2025. Your reps should expect that question.
Questions
ComEd, the Commonwealth Edison Company, serves homes in Chicago, and Chicago is listed among the cities covered by ComEd's Schedule of Rates on file with the Illinois Commerce Commission. The Chicago Department of Buildings also ties its small solar permits to the home's ComEd electrical service connection, allowing one Express Permit Program installation per connection.
For solar connected on or after January 1, 2025, ComEd's Rider POGNM credits extra power sent to the grid against the Supply section of the bill, while homes with legacy status from before 2025 also get credit in the Delivery and Taxes and Fees sections. Homes on ComEd's Basic Electric Service supply can take the credit in kilowatt hours or as a monetary credit, and ComEd says these newer credits do not expire. Under the Rider POGNM update effective September 14, 2026, a home with a battery connected on or after June 1, 2026 must be on a time based supply rate, such as ComEd's hourly or time of use pricing, to take net metering.
The Chicago Department of Buildings issues permits for small rooftop solar systems through its online Express Permit Program, which covers systems with an inverter output of 13.44 kW or less and an associated battery of up to 20 kWh, or 10 kWh for some battery types. A new installation needs drawings by an Illinois licensed architect or structural engineer, a licensed general contractor (in some cases the owner may act as one), a licensed electrical contractor, and an installer holding the Illinois Commerce Commission's distributed generation installer certification. Systems with an inverter output above 13.44 kW, and systems attached to walls or mounted on the ground, fall outside the Express Permit Program.
The federal residential clean energy credit, section 25D, ended for home solar expenditures made after December 31, 2025, under the law signed July 4, 2025. The IRS treats the expenditure as made when installation is completed, so a system completed in 2026 does not qualify even if it was paid for earlier.
