Community Solar Savings for The City of Countryside!

Income-eligible homeowners and renters in the City of Countryside can enroll in community solar! By signing up for renewable energy through Solstice, you’ll earn 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 when you join! Plus, Solstice will donate an additional $25 to the City of Countryside.

Since the credits and savings will be applied directly to your electric bill, you will never receive a separate bill from Solstice. If you’re on a different supply rate, you are still eligible to participate. Savings may vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Community Solar?

Community Solar is when we allocate you a portion of a shared solar farm in Illinois that will produce clean, renewable energy on your behalf. The green electricity is sent to your utility company. You will see a 50% discount on your normal utility supply bill for the electricity produced by your allocation. Your lights turn on as always. There is no installation, extra costs or downtime.

Why is Countryside partnering with Solstice Power Technologies and Buy Commercial Energy?

We are partnering to ensure that everyone in our community can take advantage of their local community solar farm as a broader part of the Illinois Climate and Equitable Jobs Act that was recently passed. With this new state program, our residents can join a local solar farm administered by Solstice and receive energy credits that are guaranteed to lower the electricity bill.

What happens if I join?

When you enroll, you will be allocated panels from a Solstice solar farm. Your panels will generate energy that will be credited to you on your electric bill, reducing your electric supply costs by up to 50%. 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. Additionally, you will receive a $25 enrollment bonus for joining

Can I join this community solar program if I am signed up for municipal aggregation?

Yes! We are encouraging everyone to participate in this program as it is free, safe, and guarantees a lower energy bill.
