Solar power in Illinois isn’t just about being environmentally friendly, it’s an investment in your farm. Just like a tractor or outbuilding, a solar array provides a reliable return on investment. A solar array can reduce your overhead costs, improve cashflow, and even reduce the money you have to pay to the government. Illinois farmers could also receive a payment for installing solar through the Illinois Adjustable Block Program.
With the federal tax credit, you can invest money in your farm (with the solar array) that would otherwise go to the government. The tax credit is currently worth 30% of the cost of the array, but 2019 is the final year it will be so valuable. Next year, it will be worth less, meaning potential savings could be lost if you don’t act soon.
As an Illinois farmer, you're also eligible for some of the best state incentives in the Midwest when going green with an Illinois solar company. The Adjustable Block Program and Smart Inverter Rebate, created to help encourage renewable energy generation, can help provide additional savings. Your Renewable Energy Consultant will be able to assess your situation to see which of these incentives will benefit you the most.
