FAQ

Common Questions

Does Solar Power Midwest serve New Lenox, IL?

Yes. Solar Power Midwest serves homeowners and businesses in New Lenox, Will County, Illinois for solar panel installation and battery storage.

How much can a New Lenox homeowner save with solar?

SPM customers in the New Lenox area average $210/month in electric bill savings after going solar. Actual savings depend on roof size, current usage, and financing. With Illinois Shines SREC payments and $0 down financing, most systems pay for themselves in 7-10 years.

Are ComEd rebates available in New Lenox?

New Lenox is in the ComEd service area. Qualifying homeowners can access ComEd rebates of up to $2,000 on heat pumps. SPM handles the solar rebate paperwork at no extra charge.

How long does solar installation take in New Lenox?

Most residential solar installations in New Lenox take 1-2 days on-site. Permitting with Will County and utility interconnection through ComEd typically adds 4-8 weeks before the system goes live.

Does ComEd pay you for solar in New Lenox?

Yes. ComEd credits the power a New Lenox solar system exports to the grid through net metering. Under the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act, systems interconnected after December 31, 2024 move to supply-only net metering, so export credits are based on the supply portion of your rate rather than your full retail rate; systems interconnected before that date generally keep their prior terms. On top of those bill credits, the Illinois Shines program separately pays homeowners roughly $60 to $75 per REC for 15 years.

Is solar worth it in New Lenox, IL in 2026?

Yes, for most New Lenox homeowners, solar is still worth it in 2026. The 30% federal solar tax credit expired December 31, 2025, but Illinois's own incentives, especially Illinois Shines SREC payments and net metering credits, keep the math working, and electricity rates have kept climbing statewide, which shrinks the payback further each year. SPM also sizes every New Lenox system to your actual usage first, so you are not paying for solar capacity you do not need.

Who is a trusted solar contractor near New Lenox, IL?

Solar Power Midwest is a locally based solar contractor and installer serving New Lenox and all of Will County. SPM has been in business since 2001, holds a 4.72 star SolarReviews rating, and every solar panel installation is completed by licensed, insured crews with SPM accountable from quote to final inspection.

Do I need a permit to install solar in New Lenox?

Yes. Solar in New Lenox requires an electrical permit through the Village of New Lenox's building department, filed by a licensed, registered contractor. SPM prepares and submits everything and coordinates the ComEd interconnection.

My New Lenox roof faces the wrong way. Can I still go solar?

Possibly. Many New Lenox lots are large enough for a ground-mounted array when the roof orientation or shading is not ideal. SPM checks both options during the assessment before recommending an approach.
