Preset solar appointments in Naperville

Most Naperville homes get electricity from the Naperville Electric Utility, a municipally owned utility operated by the city's Department of Public Utilities, Electric, which had 63,747 customers as of January 2026, and its charges appear on the monthly City of Naperville utility bill. City code also refers to some existing nonresidential ComEd customers within the city's annexed limits, so check the name on the electric bill to confirm the provider for a given address.

Under city code Section 8-1C-4, each kilowatt hour of excess solar energy sent to the grid earns a one for one kilowatt hour credit against the electric energy part of the monthly city utility bill, not the meter fee, demand charge, or other city utility charges, and unused credits carry forward until they expire on March 31, after which the city pays for expired credits each April at the avoided cost rate in its rate schedule. The city sets this policy itself because Illinois law for municipal utilities, 220 ILCS 5/17-900, leaves self generation and crediting policies to each municipal system's governing body, allows them to reasonably differ from what Article XVI of the Public Utilities Act requires of other entities, and gives customers the right to fair credit for excess energy. The April 2025 policy also eliminated size restrictions for systems meant to offset the home's own use, except that a system may not be larger than 1 MW and must be reasonably sized as determined by the utility.

Naperville requires a permit for every solar installation before work begins, and the Transportation, Engineering and Development (TED) Business Group handles it through the city's Permitting, Plans and Licensing Portal, where complete submittals are typically ready for permit issuance within 10 business days. Typical installations need at least a rough and a final inspection, and panels on a main structure in the Naperville Historic District that would be visible from a public street also need a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Historic Preservation Commission. Separately, the electric utility requires a signed Interconnection Agreement, and permission to operate is granted after the system passes a final electrical inspection by a City of Naperville electrical inspector.

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.

Preset appointments with homeowners in your territory who agreed to a solar consultation. We confirm they own the home and that every decision maker on the title will be there, book a time that fits your calendar, and send you the details.

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. If one does not sit, your team has 48 hours after the visit time to dispute it with a reason. An approved dispute earns a replacement appointment, never a cash refund.

Yes. Each appointment goes to one company only and is never sold twice.
