ComEd Hourly Pricing + Sigen AI
Your battery does not wait for the sun to save you money.
SigenStor can charge when ComEd hourly prices are lower, then serve the home or export eligible excess energy when prices rise—shifting more usage toward lower-cost hours and capturing eligible bill-credit value.*
Set the goal. Sigen AI handles the rest.
Talk to it. Watch it work. Let the system optimize.
Tell Sigen AI the goal—lower bills, preserve backup reserve, charge low and discharge when energy is more valuable. It evaluates prices, weather, usage and grid conditions, operates the compatible system automatically, and shows its decisions in the app.*
Move from roughly 11¢ all day to energy priced at 3¢ or less during qualifying low-cost hours.*
With an eligible ComEd hourly-rate option, SigenStor can target lower-cost supply periods automatically, then run the home or export eligible energy when rates are higher.
SigenStor shifts when you buy and use energy—charging during lower-priced ComEd hours, then serving the home or exporting eligible excess when energy is worth more.*
Verified against Illinois Public Act 104-0458, ComEd storage-rebate information and ComEd live Hourly Pricing.
Two ways to start now
Own the asset—or lease the savings.
Own for maximum lifetime value or lease for a lower-barrier monthly savings path. We show both clearly, without pressure.
Buy and own your system
Target average payback: 5 years or less*
- Turn an electricity expense into an energy-producing asset and keep the long-term ownership economics, incentives and bill-credit value
- Choose minimum-sized solar—or as much rooftop or ground-mount solar as you want
- Build toward 25 years of solar production, potential bill savings and the production guarantee stated in your signed agreement*
Lease with a 30%-below-baseline payment*
We average your prior 12 months of applicable ComEd costs. Your monthly lease payment is set 30% lower than that defined average baseline, subject to the signed agreement.*
- Solar designed around 120% annual usage offset
- Approximately 45 kWh of battery storage included
- No annual payment escalator
- 15-year stated term; cancellation rights begin after year five as defined by the signed agreement*
- Investor funds and owns the system and receives assigned incentives
- 30%-below-baseline payment commitment through the initial five-year period, with any reimbursement remedy governed by the signed agreement*
Why this matters: the investor funds the equipment because the long-term energy economics have value. Ownership keeps that value with you.

Illinois solar battery questions
Get the straight answer before you get the proposal.
Should I buy or lease my solar and battery system?
Buying is typically the better fit if you want to own the equipment, capture applicable incentive value and maximize long-term system economics. Leasing may be attractive if you prefer a lower-entry-cost path to energy savings, with the investor owning the equipment and receiving the incentives. Advanced Power USA will show you both options side by side so you can choose the structure that best fits your goals.*
Do I need enough solar panels to reach 100% solar offset?
No. PIES can pair a smaller solar array with battery storage, ComEd hourly pricing and Sigen AI so the system can shift energy use and costs more intelligently. You can also choose more rooftop or ground-mounted solar if you want greater production or energy independence. Export credits and savings vary and are not guaranteed cash profit.*
How much can the minimum-sized feature system save each month?
Advanced Power USA models more than $150 per month for qualifying versions, with some proposals above $200. These are estimates; actual savings depend on usage, rates, equipment, incentives and operating conditions, and your proposal controls.*
Does the Sigen LoadHub back up a 200A home?
Yes. Sigenergy's U.S. LoadHub is rated for 200A single-phase whole-home backup. Outage performance depends on battery state, inverter output, loads and final design; split 400A service requires an engineered multi-system configuration.
How can a 6 kW solar and 54.24 kWh battery system be under $13,000?
The $12,995 figure is an illustrative net estimate after projected qualifying incentives for a representative rooftop-solar configuration. A property-specific estimate is required, and ground-mount costs extra. Final price and incentives depend on the property, utility, eligibility, REC value, interconnection, electrical work and signed proposal.
Will Advanced Power USA help with Illinois incentives?
Yes. We identify applicable incentives in the proposal and help with documentation and program steps. Eligibility and final approval remain with the program administrator, utility and current rules.

Important PIES disclosures
Pricing, savings & program disclosures
Asterisks on this Premium Independent Energy Systems page refer to the applicable qualifications below. Property-specific proposals, program documents and signed agreements control.
* Offer and pricing
The $12,995 figure is an illustrative net estimate for a representative rooftop-solar configuration of approximately 6 kW of solar and 54.24 kWh of nominal SigenStor storage after projected qualifying ComEd battery-rebate value and Illinois Shines REC incentive value. A site-specific estimate is required. It is not a universal price or a promise of incentive approval. Ground-mount engineering, foundations, trenching, civil work and construction are additional. Final equipment, gross contract price, incentive values, REC payments, net cost, financing costs, tax treatment, site work and change orders depend on the property, utility, system design, interconnection, current program rules, customer eligibility and signed proposal. Program capacity, funding and incentive values may change or become unavailable.
* ComEd hourly rates, bill credits & energy savings
SigenStor can be configured to charge from the grid during lower-priced eligible ComEd hourly periods and discharge to serve the home or, where permitted, export energy during higher-priced periods. Export eligibility, crediting methodology and value depend on the customer’s tariff, interconnection status and then-current utility rules. References to “profit,” “sell high,” savings or bill-credit value mean potential reduction of utility expense and/or utility bill credits; they do not promise cash income, a cash payout, a fixed price spread or a guaranteed trading result. The page’s “roughly 11¢” and “3¢ or less” comparisons are illustrative rate references, not an all-in constant electric rate. The 3¢ figure is a target energy-price period when available. Hourly prices change throughout the day; lower-priced overnight periods may create charging opportunities, while higher-priced periods can make stored energy more valuable. Prices may also spike or briefly turn negative. Grid-price shifting can create savings without solar production, but savings are not guaranteed. Delivery, transmission, capacity, taxes, fees, adjustments and other charges may continue. Actual results depend on hourly prices, battery losses, state of charge, system settings, load profile, weather, exports, interconnection and tariff terms. This strategy is intended to create value through lower utility expense and eligible bill credits; it is not a promise of cash income or a guaranteed trading result.*
* Sigen AI automation
Sigen AI and related mySigen features are manufacturer-provided energy-management capabilities. Feature availability and operation depend on compatible equipment, software version, account permissions, internet/connectivity, tariff configuration, customer-authorized settings and manufacturer updates. Automated operation cannot guarantee a specific utility bill, savings amount, export value or financial result.
* $150–$200+ monthly savings estimates
“More than $150 per month” and statements that some proposals exceed $200 per month are Advanced Power USA modeled estimates for qualifying versions of the featured system, not universal results or guarantees unless a specific signed agreement expressly provides a matching guarantee. The property-specific proposal controls. Actual savings depend on the customer’s prior utility bill, usage profile, future electricity prices, solar production, battery operation and losses, export credits, incentives, equipment, financing, tariff terms and customer behavior. These figures describe modeled reductions in utility expense and bill-credit value, not guaranteed cash income.
* Ownership, payback, performance & production
The “average payback of five years or less” is an Advanced Power USA proposal target for qualifying ownership projects, not a universal guarantee. Any 25-year savings horizon or solar production guarantee is subject to the assumptions, equipment, exclusions, measurement methods and remedies stated in the signed customer agreement. Bill reduction, ROI, home-value effects, production, backup duration and savings vary with system design, incentives, financing, load profile, weather, energy prices, degradation, maintenance and customer behavior. Any “up to 5%” smart-load savings target is an Advanced Power USA modeling assumption for qualifying usage patterns, not a Sigenergy or ComEd guarantee.
* Solar lease / subscription
The investor-funded lease described on this page is designed around approximately 120% of modeled annual usage offset and approximately 45 kWh of battery storage. The stated baseline is calculated by totaling the customer’s applicable ComEd costs for the defined prior 12-month lookback period and dividing by 12; the monthly lease payment is then set 30% below that defined average baseline, subject to the signed agreement and investor approval. Any advertised savings commitment, reimbursement remedy, no-escalator provision, 15-year stated term, cancellation right beginning after year five, investor ownership and assignment of incentives apply only as expressly stated in the executed agreement. Applicable charges, lookback methodology, bill adjustments, savings measurement, reimbursement, cancellation, transfer, maintenance, insurance, defaults, exclusions and all other rights are governed by the signed agreement. Review the agreement and required Illinois Shines disclosure documents before signing.
* Backup capacity & storage specifications
“200A whole-home backup” refers to the applicable U.S. Sigen LoadHub service rating and does not mean every 200A household load can operate simultaneously during an outage. Backup performance and transition depend on compatible equipment, inverter output, battery state of charge, connected loads, installation, operating conditions and final engineering. Split 400A service may require multiple panels, LoadHubs, controllers and/or system architectures. 54.24 kWh and 108.48 kWh are nominal storage-capacity figures; usable energy is lower and backup duration varies with load and conditions.
* Illinois Shines, ComEd incentives & grid programs
Advanced Power USA intends to identify and help customers pursue applicable incentives described in a proposal, but eligibility, acceptance, payment, timing and final value are controlled by the relevant utility, Approved Vendor, program administrator, Illinois Power Agency and current program terms. Larger qualifying arrays may create greater REC volume, but incentive value is project-specific. Storage rebates, net-metering treatment, Virtual Power Plant or other grid-program participation, dispatch requirements, export eligibility and compensation are subject to the applicable tariff and program agreement. Advanced Power USA is not ComEd, the Illinois Power Agency, the Illinois Commerce Commission, the State of Illinois or Illinois Shines, and no governmental or utility endorsement is implied. Required disclosure forms, contracts and current program documents should be reviewed before signing.
Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Equipment availability, specifications, tariffs, incentives and program rules may change. These website disclosures summarize important qualifications and do not replace the project-specific proposal, Illinois Shines disclosure form, utility tariff, financing disclosures or signed customer agreement.
