Illinois Solar for All
ARF Solar proudly participates in the Illinois Solar for All: Residential Solar (Small), Illinois Solar for All: Residential Solar (Large), and Illinois Solar for All: Non-Profit and Public Facilities Sub-Program. The Illinois Solar for All Program directly aligns with ARF Solar's Core Value of Empowerment Through Access. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to benefit from renewable energy, regardless of income, which is made possible through the generous incentives available through the Illinois Solar for All Program.
Below are a few spotlights of completed Illinois Solar for All: Non-Profit and Public Facilities and Illinois Solar for All: Residential Solar (Small) projects.
Gateway Pet Guardians - East St. Louis, 273.7 kWdc
Animal shelters are not typically eligible for the Illinois Solar for All program. However, ARF Solar provided the technical guidance and program expertise needed to secure Critical Service Provider status for Gateway Pet Guardians, enabling their participation in the Illinois Solar for All program.
As a result, Gateway Pet Guardians received a 270 kWdc solar array at no-cost. The system is projected to reduce their annual electricity expenses by approximately 60%, creating long-term savings that support their mission.
"I want to cry every time I pay our electric bill because it gets up to $8,000 per month in cold and hot months, but this solar system will create HUGE cost savings for us for many years to come. Thank you, ARF Solar!" -Â Alisha Vianello, Executive Director of Gateway Pet Guardians
Residential Client - East Alton, 18.7 kWdc
This East Alton homeowner went solar at no-cost with ARF Solar. The combination roof mounted and ground mounted 18.7 kWdc system is anticipated to produce over 22,000 kWh annually. This production will cover over 90% of the energy consumed by this family each year!

At ARF Solar, we believe that the benefits of clean, renewable energy should be accessible to everyone—not just those with the means to afford traditional solar installations. Through the Illinois Solar for All (ILSFA) program, we help households across Illinois lower their electric bills, stabilize their energy costs, and take control of their energy future—all at no cost.
The Illinois Solar for All: Residential Solar (Small) program is specifically designed to bring the benefits of solar to income-eligible households. For many families, high utility bills are a constant burden, and the upfront cost of solar has historically been a barrier. ARF Solar removes that barrier by leveraging Illinois Solar for All incentives to fully cover installation, equipment, and maintenance.
This means qualifying households can enjoy the long-term benefits of solar energy—reduced energy bills, greater energy independence, and protection against rising utility rates—without needing to pay out of pocket for the system.
