How long does solar installation take in Plainfield?

Most residential solar installations in Plainfield 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 Plainfield?

Yes. ComEd credits the power a Plainfield 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 Plainfield, IL in 2026?

Yes, for most Plainfield 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 Plainfield system to your actual usage first, so you are not paying for solar capacity you do not need.
