Solar FAQ for Romeoville

An average 9 kW system in Romeoville costs approximately $24,750 before incentives. After the DG rebate and estimated Illinois Shines SREC (~$9,502 — starting June 2026, 50% paid as a lump sum, remaining 50% in quarterly payments over 6 years), the estimated net cost drops to around $12,548. Actual costs vary based on your home and system size.
With a solar lease, the average Romeoville homeowner could save about $15/month on their ComEd bill (including battery backup). That's about 9% less than your current bill — and your rate is fixed for 15 years while utility rates keep climbing.
The 30% residential ITC expired December 31, 2025 for homeowner-owned systems. However, if you lease your solar system, the installer can still claim the business ITC through 2027 and pass savings to you through lower lease payments. Call us to learn how this works.
Modern solar panels are warranted for 25 years and typically last 30-35 years. They degrade slowly — losing only about 0.5% efficiency per year.
Yes. Romeoville gets 3.4 peak sun hours per day on average. Solar panels actually perform better in cold temperatures. Snow typically slides off tilted panels quickly, and the system is designed for year-round production.
RECs are measured per 1,000 kWh of solar production — more panels and more sunlight means a higher value. An average Romeoville system (~9 kW) produces ~9,747 kWh/year = 9.7 RECs/year. Over the 15-year contract, the estimated customer value is ~$9,502 (85% of gross). Starting June 2026, 50% is paid as a lump sum after installation, with the remaining 50% in quarterly payments over 6 years. Cash/finance buyers receive this directly. Lease customers benefit through lower payments. See our REC Calculator for a custom estimate.
Studies show solar adds $15,000-$25,000 to home value for a typical residential system. In Illinois, 100% of that added value is exempt from property taxes — so you get the equity without higher taxes.
With a 30-year minimum panel lifespan and a ~6.5-year breakeven in Romeoville, that's approximately 24+ years of pure profit and inflation protection. After breakeven, your electricity cost drops to near-zero while utility rates keep climbing.

Pro Tips

1

Given Romeoville's suburban nature, assess your roof's orientation and potential shading from mature trees or neighboring structures to maximize solar exposure.

2

Prioritize a professional roof inspection for homes built around the 1965 median age, especially for properties constructed before 1980, to confirm structural readiness.

3

Consider the annual solar resource, which peaks in summer, when sizing a system to align with household energy consumption patterns throughout the year.
