Bringing affordable solar, utilizing American made products, to all of Illinois
Does solar really work? Don't ask us- ask our customers! Here's a graph and spreadsheet put together by a member of our solar family that says it all. YES! Solar does really work!
Below you will please find a link to an article published in the Illinois Times today alerting the public to the issue at hand in CWLP territory. Thank you to Dr. Steven Soltys for taking the time to understand the issue and put this together! Please share through your networks!

Municipal and Cooperative Customers are confirmed for solar funding inclusion! The IL Appellate Court today rendered their decision confirming ICC inclusion of municipal and rural electric cooperative customers for solar funding under the Future Energy Jobs Act for renewable energy credits. This was a long, hard-fought battle in which WindSolarUSA partnered with 12 other renewable energy businesses in Central and Southern IL (deemed The Solar Business Coalition) to fight this fight. SBC partnered with the Environmental Law & Policy Center and NRDC for this last round of battle. A big thank you to Brad Klein, ELPC attorney, for arguing the case in front of the court and John Albers, SBC's attorney and a WSUSA solar customer, for helping us with filings and all that was required along the battle trail! ComEd was unsuccessful in their appeal of an earlier ICC ruling confirming inclusion, and they are unsuccessful AGAIN! This goes to show that sometimes when you are fighting the fight for the right reasons, you can and will win! Overjoyed for our prospective customers in municipal and cooperative utility territories across the state and that all Illinoisans will enjoy the same funding opportunities regardless of who their utility might be! GO SOLAR ILLINOIS!
Kidzeum, located at 412 East Adams in Springfield, has a new educational solar awning for visitors to enjoy! This 1.18kW solar awning outside of the "dentist office" window gives visitors to the children's museum an opportunity to look up to see the underside of the (4) SolarWorld modules, the Enphase microinverters that are converting the power produced from DC to AC (usable electricity) and to even see the temperature difference the awning, that shades this south set of windows, provides over other south-facing windows that are unshaded. A monitor will be set up that also will show the production being generated in real time as well as environmental benefits in terms of how many light bulbs (eventually houses) could be powered with the cumulative production and the equivalent number of trees that would be required to generate the same reduction in carbon emissions. WindSolarUSA assisted Kidzeum staff in the writing of a grant to the Illinois Clean Energy Community Foundation, which funded 90% of this project, procured products and developed/managed the project during installation by our Senergy and Lock Home Improvement teams. We are happy to have partnered with the awesome staff of this community asset and hope everyone gets a chance to view their new "exhibit"!
