Community Solar = Lower Costs and Lower Carbon Emissions

March, 31, 2022

Join fellow residents who have already signed up to get solar power for their homes through a community solar subscription with the Village’s program administrator MC Squared Energy Services. It will save you money and help reduce carbon emissions. Visit vrf.us/CommunitySolar to learn how it works.

To sign up:

  1. Reserve your spot, using the account and meter number on your ComEd bill.
  2. Complete your enrollment when MC Squared notifies you (via email) that a spot is open in a community solar project. 
  3. The subscription fee will equal 80% of what you will save from the credit ComEd will give you for the electricity supply part of your bill. You will save 20% of that part of your bill. You can cancel your subscription at any time.
  4. Watch for a credit on your next ComEd bill for the electricity supply cost. The cost of electricity distribution and other charges on your ComEd bill will remain the same.

You might not receive an enrollment notice right away. Each community solar project will have capacity for approximately 300 subscribers. If there is availability in a project, residents can expect to receive the enrollment notice 3-5 days after filling out the reservation form. However, if there is no availability, you may need to wait until an account drops from a project or a new solar project becomes active. Another project is anticipated to become available this summer. Look out for an email from MC2 Community Solar with the words Enrollment Notice at the top. To check your reservation status, simply call 833-970-3552 or email solar@mc2energyservices.com
