ABP 101: The Basics

 

The Illinois Adjustable Block Program (ABP) is a state-administered solar incentive program developed and managed by the Illinois Power Agency (IPA). The objective of the program is the obtain Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from IL Solar Owners. RECs are exchanged for 15-years of energy production generated by new photovoltaic (PV) systems. 

Carbon Solutions SREC, is an Approved Vendor of the ABP. We work in partnership with local installers to get their solar customers through the application process.

Illinois Shines Brochure and Disclosure Form

The Consumer Disclosure form is required for every solar installation in Illinois to take part in the Adjustable Block Program. The form provides an overview of your purchase, warranties, fees, and more. This form must be signed by you in order for your solar system to take part in the ABP. This is typically sent via email from the email address: “[e-mail]” and is e-signable. This form has to be signed prior to signing your installation contract. If you signed your installation contract prior to receiving the Consumer Disclosure Form, please reach out to [e-mail] so that we can ensure our partners are following ABP Marketing Guidelines. General Information

We generally expect the multi-step application process to take 9-12 months from the time you apply to the time you receive your SREC payment. This process can take longer depending on how long it is between contract signing and system installation.  The ABP with Carbon Solutions offers payment for 15 years of SRECs – but please note that REC Generation and Collateral Requirements will apply.
