Five Chicagoland counties, nonprofit advocates and solar professionals have joined to educate consumers on how they can install discounted solar panels, the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) says.
The Solar Switch program, formerly called Grow Solar Chicagoland, is a partnership among Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake and Will counties, along with nonprofits CUB and the Midwest Renewable Energy Association (MREA). This year, the program has added the expertise of iChoosr, a company that manages and administers solar group-buy programs globally.
Solar Switch is a “group-buy” program, which means it secures volume discounts for quality solar installations, based on how many residents of those five counties, along with residents of Kendall and McHenry counties, participate. The program selects installers through a competitive vetting process and then runs a reverse-auction to secure a low base-price.
“Solar Switch gives consumers an introduction to solar power, and it offers a safe and reliable process to connect interested participants with qualified, vetted and affordable solar installers,” says Marina Minic, CUB’s solar programs coordinator. “As a watchdog we are concerned about education and consumer protections, and that’s why we promote this program.”
“Combined with the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy incentives, Solar Switch Chicagoland makes solar more accessible than ever,” adds Taylor Ball, solar program manager for the MREA.

Most Americans who have the means to travel have rented a car in Paris and driven it all over France. I happen to be the first Avis renter to pick up a car at Heathrow and take it through the Chunnel on my way to Paris, on my way to Stuttgart in western Germany.
How much French do I know? Close to zero. I don’t even know the French word for “zero.’ Was I a menace to the French? Doubt it.
This strikes me as pure MAGA racism. It’s an appeal to punish people with brown skin, or preferably, take them and their little children into detention and ultimately deport them. The more pain, the better.
Will You Be Safer if Non-English-Speaking People Can’t Drive?
Today’s America admires the rich, and we have no problem if our leaders are sociopathic rapists.
The more damage they do to the common U.S. citizen, the more we love them.
All they really need to do in order to retain our adoration is to continue to punish people with brown skin and give tax breaks to billionaires.
Quality education, healthcare, protecting our environment, and affordability are all issues for woke communists and sissies.

Let’s not rush to judgement here.
OK, he’s an alcoholic Fox New host who’s led the U.S. military into a huge quagmire that, day by day, continues to destroy the U.S. and world economy.
My gardener is just as well qualified to lead the largest military in human history.
But Hegseth is 100% loyal to Trump. Nothing else matters.
