This TribLocal article highlights ComEd’s new plans to study and test photovoltaic solar panel use in 10 communities, including Oak Park. If you live in Oak Park or any other community that has ComEd’s new SmartMeters installed, you should receive a letter with instructions for completing their survey. The survey will aid them in choosing 100 households – 10 in each of the 10 communities – that will have solar panels installed. The houses will be able to keep the solar panels at the end of the study.
So fill out your survey, and let me know if you’re chosen! I filled one out but even in the likely event that we don’t get them, solar panels anywhere are a very good thing.
I filled it out as soon as we got it. A long shot, but I really hope we are choosen!
