Thank you for standing up for affordable, local solar options ☀️ #solarpower for ALL
More than 1 in 3 U.S. households have cut back on essentials just to afford their utility bills.
That’s why Vote Solar is stepping into the rooms that actually set the rates: public utility commissions. We’re pushing for utilities to be held accountable—and for affordable, local solar options.

Yes! And plug-in balcony solar can also help with increasing access to solar for ALL ☀️ for lower energy bills and the ability to generate renewable power from the sun.
We need policies that increase access to local solar to prioritize communities most impacted by high energy burden.

IL can lower bills and boost reliability by adding battery storage & virtual power plants to the grid — that’s what the Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act (SB 25) will do.

What’s in IL’s Clean and Reliable Grid Affordability Act? ️One key piece is integrated resource planning: a process that helps Illinois plan ahead for rising energy demand. Right now, Illinois doesn’t have a system to determine the most cost-effective, reliable, and equitable mix of clean energy.
