Community Solar Savings for C4 Communities!

The Cross Community Climate Collaborative (C4) and Solstice are bringing renewable energy to our communities through the statewide Community Solar program Illinois Solar for All. By signing up for renewable energy through Solstice, you'll get savings on your electric bills and support resilient, locally distributed energy for our community.

  • Enjoy up to 50% savings on your annual electric supply costs*
  • Earn a $25 Visa Gift Card from Solstice when you join!
*The Illinois Solar for All program is a state program that brings the benefits of solar energy to income-eligible households, non-profit organizations, and public facilities. Eligible participants can save money on electric bills. Community Solar subscribers in this program can see savings of up to 50% on the supply portion of their electric bill. Solar credits received are based on subscriber energy usage and the solar farm’s energy production, which can fluctuate month-to-month, resulting in varied savings. Since credits and savings from your subscription will be applied directly to your electric bill, you will not receive a separate bill from Solstice. The subscription term is for one year and auto-renewed yearly until you cancel. You may cancel anytime, and there is no fee to cancel your subscription.
An electric bill you’ll love

Solstice’s program is designed so that you will always save on all solar credits you receive on your bills. Enroll in just minutes below.

About C4

C4 is a co-led project by Seven Generations Ahead, the Urban Efficiency Group, and the mayors of Broadview, River Forest, and Oak Park. We bring together BIPOC and non-minority communities across income lines to share ideas, secure resources, and drive large-scale projects within and across communities that achieve greenhouse gas emissions reductions, equity, and sustainability goals.

Together, we’ll lower our electric bills and build a brighter future for our community!
