Why Chicago Businesses Choose Solar

Chicago stands out as one of the strongest commercial solar markets in Illinois because businesses here face high electricity costs, growing pressure to improve energy strategy, and meaningful incentive opportunities that can improve project economics.

Industries We Serve Get Financing

Property owners, developers, and institutional decision-makers are increasingly looking at on-site solar as a practical way to stabilize utility expenses while supporting tenant expectations, internal sustainability goals, and broader ESG benchmarks. 

Illinois Shines and the federal Investment tax credits have made commercial solar more attractive for qualified projects, especially when systems are designed around real usage patterns and long-term building performance. In a city where every square foot matters and operating costs can rise quickly, a well-planned solar project can turn underused roof area into a long-term asset.

EPC Services for Chicago Properties

93Energy provides EPC services tailored to the realities of Chicago commercial construction, where dense development, layered permitting requirements, and limited installation space demand a more disciplined approach. Our team designs systems for rooftops and constrained urban sites with a focus on structural coordination, production efficiency, code compliance, and long-term serviceability. We manage the engineering and permitting process from the start, helping clients avoid delays while aligning the solar system with the property’s layout, energy goals, and operational needs. Construction is completed by experienced professionals, including licensed union electricians, so clients receive a high-quality installation backed by strong workmanship and a clear project path from concept to commissioning.

Incentives for Chicago Businesses

Illinois Shines and SREC Program Details: Illinois Shines helps support eligible commercial solar projects through renewable energy credit incentives that can improve overall project value. For many Chicago-area businesses, this program plays an important role in shortening payback periods and strengthening the financial case for installation. 93Energy helps clients understand how incentive eligibility fits into project planning, system design, and expected long-term returns.

30% Federal Investment Tax Credit: The federal Investment Tax Credit can significantly reduce upfront project costs for qualifying commercial solar installations. This incentive has become one of the most important financial drivers for businesses evaluating whether now is the right time to invest in on-site generation. When paired with state-level opportunities, it can make large-scale solar systems much more attractive for commercial and institutional properties.

Commercial Property Depreciation and ROI Modeling

Commercial solar can also create value through depreciation benefits and a clearer long-term return-on-investment picture. Proper financial modeling helps business owners and facilities managers compare upfront costs against projected savings, incentive value, and asset performance over time. 93Energy works with clients to build realistic ROI expectations so decision-makers can evaluate solar as part of a broader capital planning strategy.

Free Solar Energy Analysis

A solar project should begin with real numbers, not guesswork, especially in a market as competitive and complex as Chicago. 93Energy offers a free solar energy analysis to help commercial property owners, developers, and facility teams understand system potential, site constraints, projected savings, and available incentives. Our process is built around commercial realities, including roof conditions, building usage, utility costs, and long-term ownership goals. That gives you a clearer picture of whether solar makes sense for your property before moving into full design and construction.

  • The 93energy team -- manager Nick plus David, David, Celestino and Diamond -- were hardworking and professional, and did a great job. They were always friendly and in good spirits. We enjoyed having them at our house!

  • I rarely leave review but I would highly recommend this company to do the solar work as their price is great and the installation is clean. I have great experience with Allen, Nick and their customer service is top notch. I'm really happy with the solar system that they have put for me and I'm on the right track of saving my energy bill.

  • I'm a skeptic when it comes to major house projects and I run all the numbers twice before contracting any work. But when it came time to install solar panels, Rob and 93Energy did a tremendous job helping us purchase and install our SunPower solar panel array. They were knowledgeable and we knew they were the company to go with.

  • Price was reasonable and the installation was top notch. I would definitely recommend others if they are going solar to definitely consider 93 energy. The work was completed on time and I can see the benefits from going solar. Rob was quick in responding for any questions or queries I had regarding solar and the installation. Nick did a good job in completing the installation on time.

  • Thanks to the 93 Energy Team, my wife and I are very happy with all aspects of our purchase and installation of our panels from SunPower. Sales and installation from 93 Energy was incompatible. I already have referred you to others.

  • I am very happy with the job 93 Energy did installing a solar system on my roof. From sales to the installers, they were very professional and I never felt like I wasn’t informed about what was going on with the project. The installers were punctual and worked very hard to get my job done in the time they promised. I will be recommending them to anyone interested for sure.

  • Nick and the installation crew did a really nice job, they were clean and considerate. I am an installers worst nightmare to work for, I am “In-your Buisiness”. I am the guy that camps out and watches every move you make and questions why your doing it.I’m sure I drove them nuts but they handled the stress and pressure great. Vasiliki was great with handling all the documentation and paperwork with chicago, that’s a nightmare I’m sure!

  • BEST GUYS EVER! ROB ROB ROB! Hands down go with 93Energy, they have the lowest quote and they will match any competitors. They use Sunpower panels which are the best! Customer Service is above excellent, and you will not be disappointing. It has been "customer comes first" approach from the moment you talk with them. Highly Recommended!

  • 92Energy installed me 22 Sun Power panels (400 W).  It was actually the least expensive per kW offer.  The winter came, snow all over the roof but not on the panels.  Looked at the neighbors.  Not much snow on the roof, but panels completely blocked.  Well, that is the difference between made in the USA and made in China.
