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.

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.
