Now in its third year, the Grow Solar Chicagoland program offers free educational sessions as well as volume-pricing discounts on solar panels.
Since 2019, the program has helped 205 properties install 1,474 kilowatts of solar. Past participants have collectively reduced their energy costs by nearly $100,000 in just one year.

The program officially launched on May 19, and the deadline to participate is Sept. 30. Visit www.GrowSolar.org/Chicagoland/ for more information.
