Industries We Serve Get Financing

Companies across Peoria are looking more closely at solar energy as higher operating costs, sustainability planning, and building performance goals make electricity expenses more difficult to ignore. For offices, warehouses, healthcare buildings, schools, retail centers, and industrial facilities, a well-designed solar project can turn open roof space or unused land into a valuable asset that supports long-range financial planning. As a commercial solar company serving Peoria, IL, 93Energy helps businesses and organizations understand their solar potential, review available incentive programs, and move from early research to a professionally managed installation with more confidence.

Peoria's Biggest Buildings Never Power Down

OSF HealthCare is headquartered here and stands as the region's largest employer, Caterpillar and Komatsu still run major operations across the metro, and Bradley University and Illinois Central College each manage a campus of energy-hungry buildings. Agriprocessing lines the Illinois River corridor. What those organizations share is round-the-clock or seasonal load under a great deal of roof.

We are a commercial solar EPC company, which means engineering, procurement, and construction sit under a single contract. Our team models the system against your real consumption and designs it around your campus, then permits, builds, and sees it through Ameren Illinois approval. Peoria is one of the Illinois markets we cover from our Evanston base.

Why Peoria Businesses Are Adding Commercial Solar

Healthcare & Zero-Downtime Planning

A hospital campus cannot be de-energized for a construction schedule, so sequencing comes before savings. We plan cutovers around clinical operations, isolate critical loads, and stage work so that no circuit your patients depend on goes dark. That constraint shapes the design from the first drawing rather than getting solved on site.

Tax-Exempt Entities & Incentive Navigation

Ownership structure matters more here than in most Illinois markets, because so much of the load sits with organizations that pay no federal income tax. Hospitals, school districts, and municipal bodies have different routes to capturing federal incentive value than a manufacturer does, and the route depends on entity type, timing, and how the system is owned. We keep the project documentation organized so your finance office and your tax advisor can evaluate each option properly.

Agriprocessing & Battery Energy Storage (BESS)

Agriprocessing brings a different pattern again. Refrigeration and processing loads spike hard against demand charges, and battery energy storage, or BESS, discharges through those peaks instead of letting the meter record them.

Our EPC Approach

One company owns the whole project, from the first structural review to permission to operate.

1

Site Assessment and Energy Modeling

We begin with interval data, roof and land area, and the electrical service feeding your facility. Energy modeling establishes what the site can generate against what you consume, and financial modeling turns that into numbers your board or finance committee can interrogate.

2

Engineering and Design

Our engineers produce structural, electrical, and layout drawings for your buildings, with snow and wind load calculations and protection design included. On multi-building campuses this is also where we decide which roofs, canopies, or open ground carry the array.

3

Permitting, AHJ Review, and Interconnection

We prepare and carry every submission: state requirements, your local authority having jurisdiction, or AHJ, and the Ameren Illinois interconnection application and coordination. Ameren's process differs from ComEd's, and we file to the rules that apply to your service.

4

Construction, Commissioning, and PTO

Our construction leadership runs the build, coordinates inspections, and commissions the system under load. You take ownership of a monitored, producing asset with a full turnover package and permission to operate, and O&M is available afterward.

Incentives and Financing Options

Federal and state programs change, so we model your project against the rules in force when construction begins.

Federal Clean Electricity Investment Credit

The federal clean electricity investment credit replaced the older energy investment tax credit framework for eligible clean electricity projects, and commercial solar may qualify for increased credit value when applicable requirements are met. For many projects the commonly discussed 30% federal incentive depends on whether the project satisfies applicable rules, including prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements. 93Energy does not replace your tax advisor, though our documentation keeps your financial team supplied.

Illinois Shines and SRECs

Illinois Shines is the state program that pays commercial owners for the power their systems produce, through solar renewable energy credits, or SRECs. 93Energy is a registered Approved Vendor on the state's official list, which is what allows a vendor to enroll projects and deliver those payments. Every proposal we send a Peoria facility models SREC revenue alongside energy offset.

Structures for Taxable and Tax-Exempt Owners

A manufacturer can often own the system outright, capture depreciation, and hold the asset. A hospital, district, or municipal body may be better served by a different ownership route, and the right answer depends on entity type and project timing. We will model each path against your capital plan.

Commercial Solar Financing Options

Industries We Serve in Peoria

Three sectors carry most of the commercial load in this market, and each one changes the build.

Healthcare Campuses

Hospitals and clinics run continuously and cannot trade uptime for a construction schedule. We have delivered a 500KW hospital carport array, which is often the right answer where roof area is committed to mechanical equipment.

Solar for Hospitals and Clinics

Schools and Universities

Districts and colleges manage energy across many buildings on a fixed budget and a summer construction window. Our education portfolio includes a 695KW installation built to that kind of calendar.

Solar for Schools

Agriculture and Agriprocessing

Processing and cold-side loads run hard and seasonally, which makes demand management as valuable as energy offset for growers and processors along the river.

Solar for Farms and Agribusiness

Solar Panel Financing

Disprove the notion that solar panels are excessively expensive, and embrace cleaner energy. Solar panel installation in Joliet is affordable, thanks to various local, state, and federal solar installation incentives that decrease costs. 93Energy offers customers top-notch solar panel financing options. In the long run, financing solar energy saves you money as electricity prices keep rising. To discover more about financing solar panels for your business, speak with our nearby solar experts here.

  • From starting the system design with Allen to Engineering, the set up with Mark and the install with seasoned electrician Nick this was an amazing experience. We installed an Enphase system with battery back up on our single-family home in Chicago. I highly recommend 93 energy for anybody looking for a system in the city of Chicago. This crew knows how to navigate the city  and Comed bureaucracy along with the permitting  and they do it with high quality  and efficiency.

  • You wont find these guys in Homedepot but could not ask for a better solar installer in town. Very down to earth, very responsive, and got the best deal on Enphase among the 7 other companies I called. Locally based and licensed, permit approved in record time, design to instal- 3 weeks, no issues with getting the state or the federal refund checks, full support and transparency from start to finish. Looking for the best deal in Chicago land, look no further and give Mark, Allen and Mitch a call- they will take care of you like they did to me.

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Facility and finance staff in Peoria raise the same five questions early, and the answers usually determine whether a project moves.

  • Yes. We isolate critical loads, schedule cutovers around clinical operations, and stage the work so nothing your patients rely on goes down. On live medical campuses the construction plan gets as much engineering attention as the array itself.

  • Organizations that pay no federal income tax follow a different route than taxable owners, and eligibility depends on entity type, ownership structure, and project timing. We keep the documentation your finance office and tax advisor need, and they confirm the path.

  • Yes, along with state and local permitting, and both follow the design rather than running beside it. Ameren's interconnection requirements differ from ComEd's, so we file against the rules that govern your service rather than a generic checklist.

  • Usable roof, canopy, or land area, your load profile across the year, the electrical service, and the offset you are aiming for. We model several sizes and show the economics of each rather than proposing one number.

  • Often substantially. Batteries discharge during your peak intervals and recharge when production eases, which flattens the load profile the utility bills against and compounds with the energy the array offsets.
