What Solar Savings Look Like in Burr Ridge

The housing stock, predominantly single-family homes with a median age around 1975, presents many roofs suitable for solar integration. Nearly half of the homes predate 1980, which can influence roof condition. The community's high homeownership rate and stable real estate market suggest a receptive environment for home improvements, including solar energy systems.

How We Calculate Your Savings

This calculator uses your custom utility rate (default $0.16/kWh for Illinois) with a 4.5% annual escalator compared to our fixed lease rate as low as $0.10/kWh plus battery backup for 15 years. A low-escalator option is also available for a lower starting payment. After the 15-year lease, you can keep the system for a low fair-market buyout — then your electricity cost drops to near-zero for the remaining life of the panels (25+ years). Your actual savings may vary based on your specific usage patterns and system size.
