How Solar Pays You Back

This page is designed to answer the questions people actually search for: Should I go solar now? How do incentives work? Can I sell power to ComEd? Is battery storage worth it?

1

Make Your Own Power

Residential and commercial solar panels produce clean electricity directly at your property, lowering the amount of power you need to buy from the utility.

2

Store Power With SigenStor

Large battery storage lets you hold solar energy for later use, backup protection, higher-usage periods, and smarter ComEd rate strategy.

3

Sell or Credit Excess Power

Where eligible, excess solar generation can create ComEd net metering credits. With Hourly Pricing, credits are based on the time the power is generated.

AI data center electricity demand graphic showing why Illinois solar and battery storage matters

Use the same strategy big energy users understand: control your cost, control your storage, and turn eligible excess power into value.

Electric demand is rising. Your energy strategy should rise with it.

AI data centers, electrification, grid upgrades, and utility infrastructure investment are increasing pressure on electricity costs. Most customers will only react when the bill arrives.

Advanced Power USA helps you act before that happens. We design solar plus battery storage systems that reduce grid dependence, protect against outages where designed, and help eligible customers use ComEd programs more strategically.

SigenStor explained simply

Why We Push Large Battery Storage

Small batteries are mainly backup tools. Large SigenStor storage can become a full energy strategy: solar storage, backup, peak-rate control, export-credit strategy, and future grid-program readiness.

SigenStor is a premium 5-in-1 energy platform.

SigenStor combines solar inverter technology, battery storage, battery power conversion, smart energy management, and optional EV DC charging capability into one coordinated system.

Advanced Power USA premium systems include gateway technology and are built around 54 kWh or 108 kWh storage options for customers who want serious energy control.

Incentives made clear

Illinois Shines SRECs + ComEd DG Rebates Can Change the Math

We explain the incentive stack in plain English so customers understand why acting now can beat waiting.

$16,200

54 kWh Storage Rebate Example

54 kWh x $300/kWh = $16,200 potential ComEd DG battery storage rebate for eligible residential or small C&I projects.

Advanced Power USA sells 54 kWh of SigenStor storage for $17,500. With a $16,200 rebate, the battery net can be as low as $1,300 before other project factors and eligibility review.
$32,400

108 kWh Storage Rebate Example

108 kWh x $300/kWh = $32,400 potential ComEd DG battery storage rebate for eligible residential or small C&I projects.

Large storage creates more usable power, better backup capability, and more energy-control potential than small battery systems.
Incentive / Value DriverWhat It MeansWhy It Matters
Illinois Shines SREC / REC ValueIllinois Shines purchases Renewable Energy Credits from eligible solar projects through approved program channels.REC value may be passed to customers as savings, lowering project cost where eligible.
ComEd DG RebateEligible storage associated with a qualifying DG solar facility may receive $300/kWh for residential or small C&I customers.For 54 kWh, that is $16,200; for 108 kWh, that is $32,400.
ComEd Export CreditsEligible solar generation exported to the grid can create bill credits; with Hourly Pricing, value is based on when it is generated.Storage can help customers think strategically about when to use, store, and export energy.
Fast Payback TargetMany Advanced Power USA solar + storage projects target ROI around 5 years depending on design, usage, incentives, and eligibility.After payback, the system can continue producing value for years.
Why this beats basic solar

Do Not Just Buy Panels. Build a Power Asset.

A standard solar-only system reduces usage. A premium solar + SigenStor storage system can reduce usage, protect against outages where designed, improve energy control, and prepare you for grid programs.

Better than waitingIncentives, REC blocks, rebate funding, equipment pricing, and utility rules can change. A review now protects your options.
Better than a tiny battery54 kWh to 108 kWh provides serious usable capacity for homes and businesses with high electric bills.
Better ComEd strategyUse solar, storage, BESH/Hourly Pricing strategy where applicable, and export credits to make the grid work for you.
Better consultationWe review your bill, usage, roof, battery needs, incentive fit, ROI potential, and backup goals before recommending a system.

Questions customers ask

Solar Info FAQ

Fast answers for Google searchers, homeowners, and commercial property owners.

Can I sell power back to ComEd?

Eligible ComEd solar customers can receive net metering credits for excess energy sent to the grid. With Hourly Pricing, those credits are calculated at the time they are generated, meaning higher-price hours can create higher-value credits.

What is the Illinois Shines SREC incentive?

Illinois Shines is a state-administered solar incentive program that supports eligible solar projects by purchasing Renewable Energy Credits. Those REC payments may be passed to customers as savings through an Approved Vendor.

How much is the 54 kWh battery rebate?

At $300/kWh, 54 kWh of eligible storage equals $16,200. Advanced Power USA sells 54 kWh of SigenStor storage for $17,500, creating a potential net battery cost of $1,300 before final eligibility, project design, and program approval.

Why is SigenStor different?

SigenStor is a premium 5-in-1 platform integrating inverter technology, battery storage, battery power conversion, smart energy management, and optional EV DC charging capability. It is designed for home and business energy independence.

Is ROI really possible in 5 years?

Many Advanced Power USA solar + storage projects target a 5-year ROI, but actual payback depends on usage, system size, utility rates, incentives, tax eligibility, ComEd rules, Illinois Shines rules, installation costs, and customer goals.

Illinois Shines Program Disclosure

Advanced Power USA LLC is not endorsed by, affiliated with, or acting on behalf of the Illinois Power Agency, the Illinois Commerce Commission, the State of Illinois, or the Illinois Shines Program.

Illinois Shines, also known as the Adjustable Block Program, is a state-administered incentive program supporting qualifying new solar photovoltaic projects through the purchase of Renewable Energy Credits (“RECs”). For a project enrolled in Illinois Shines, the renewable attributes represented by its RECs are transferred under the applicable Program arrangement.

Program participation, incentive availability, project eligibility, estimated production, savings, financing, tax treatment, and utility-bill results depend on the specific property, utility, system design, customer agreement, and current Program requirements. Savings are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in the customer’s written agreement.

Advanced Power USA systems may include solar generation, battery storage, backup-power capability, and energy-management equipment. Illinois Shines eligibility generally applies to qualifying grid-connected photovoltaic projects. A fully off-grid system may not qualify. Battery capacity and backup performance depend on the selected equipment, available stored energy, system configuration, and the electrical loads being powered.

Customers considering an Illinois Shines project should review the applicable Illinois Shines informational brochure, Disclosure Form, customer contract, financing or PPA terms, and all Program documents before signing an agreement.
