Solutions Provided

With a roof that covers over 60,000 square feet, Verde installed a roof-mounted system with 859 modules and 6 inverters, estimated to produce 554,550 kWh per year. This project qualified for SREC incentives, as well as ComEd’s smart inverter rebate incentive, which helped to offset out-of-pocket costs. SREC’s are a state incentive, whose value is equal to the solar energy you produce over 15 years times the price set by the Illinois Power Agency for REC’s.
