Where it applies

ComEd Distributed Generation Solar + Battery Rebate (Adjacent Capital — NOT a grant incentive) is administered at the utility level. Depending on the program, eligibility may depend on the specific location, property type, or business activity rather than a single drawn boundary.

Boundaries are precise and change over time, so whether a specific address falls inside a mapped zone always depends on that exact address. The fastest way to check is to run a free snapshot for the parcel you have in mind — mapped coverage is a location signal, not an eligibility determination.
