5 things to consider before installing solar Can solar be a good thing for me? Yes. It can reduce your power costs when done properly. Will I still have Illinois Electric Cooperative as my electric provider if I install solar? Yes. We will provide a solar (bi-directional) meter to you at the time of interconnection once your system is installed, which will allow you to be compensated for your excess solar power, and to receive power from IEC when your panels are not producing. Does the cooperative oer net metering? The co-op oers “Net Billing.” We will purchase any excess power your system produces. Net billing does not allow “banking” of kilowatts for later use. What size of system should I install? One large enough to supply the power you use when the sun is shining and solar is producing. What happens if I install a system large enough to supply my maximum power usage? Most members’ maximum usage happens early evening when the sun is setting. A system sized for maximum demand will produce more than you need during the day while not meeting your needs in the evening. If you are considering solar, please call us at 1-800-468-4732 before signing a contract. We will explain our policies and help you size your system properly to provide the maximum benefit
