ComEd Distributed Generation Solar + Battery Rebate (Adjacent Capital — NOT a grant incentive)
ComEd pays an upfront one-time rebate for solar installations: $300 per kW DC for systems up to 100 kW and $250 per kW DC for systems above 100 kW. A 50 kW rooftop commercial system yields approximately $15,000 upfront. Battery storage rebates ($250/kWh) are available but specific terms for standalone storage require direct ComEd verification. Stackable with Illinois Shines REC payments (IPA program) and federal ITC (§48E).
