About Grow Solar Chicagoland
Grow Solar Chicagoland is a grassroots residential and commercial group purchasing program for solar. Home and business owners throughout Cook, Will, DuPage, Lake and Kane counties may participate in this program to help pool their buying power to secure significant discounts that make installing solar more affordable.

One Program, Big Impact
Since 2019:

3,059 people attended Solar Power Hours
281 properties added solar
2008 kilowatts of solar have been installed
Every year, that’s like avoiding:
4,238,717 miles driven by the average passenger vehicle
1,889,350 lbs. of coal burned
OR like 73,916 trash bags recycled rather than landfilled
