Getting to hear why customers choose community solar is one of the most meaningful parts of our work.

For Lynn M., a retired teacher living near Buffalo, NY, the decision was about more than lowering energy costs. Living in a first-floor condo meant rooftop solar wasn’t an option — but she still wanted a way to make her environmental values part of everyday life.

That’s what we found so compelling about Lynn’s story: community solar gave her a practical path forward without asking her to change where she lived or how she powered her home.

As Lynn put it, “If you don’t take a chance, nothing will change.”

Stories like hers are a reminder that clean energy becomes most powerful when it fits into real life — with all its limitations, priorities, and tradeoffs.

We’re grateful to customers like Lynn for sharing their experiences with us and allowing us to highlight what this transition can look like in a real home, for a real person. 🌞

"Community solar can't be real, can it?"

We overheard that question, whispered by another exhibitor, at an event this past spring.

The answer is yes, it is.

That skepticism is exactly why we're resharing this video from Illinois Solar for All (ILSFA). It highlights a challenge many Illinois families and organizations face every day: energy affordability.

More importantly, it shows how community solar is helping residents, renters, nonprofits, and community organizations lower their electricity costs through a program that's both accessible and effective.

The stories featured in the video bring those savings to life. From families reducing monthly expenses to organizations freeing up resources for their missions, these participants demonstrate that the promises of community solar are real.

Illinois' community solar market is still relatively young compared to more established programs in states like Minnesota. The people featured in this video deserve recognition for being early adopters. It takes a leap of faith to try something new, especially when no one you know is doing it yet.

PureSky is proud to be part of that progress through McLean 1, our operational community solar farm near Bloomington-Normal, Illinois. As a participating project in the ILSFA Community Solar program, eligible subscribers can receive savings equal to 50% of the value of their solar credits, helping make clean energy more affordable for local families and communities.

Watch the video to hear firsthand how community solar is delivering real savings across Illinois.

Earlier this week, Molly McCready, Manager Community Partnerships & Compliance, represented PureSky Energy at the Faith in Place Annual Environmental & Spirituality Summit. The summit brings together community members and faith leaders, who share a commitment to building a cleaner energy future.

As a sponsor, PureSky had an opportunity to share how community solar can help make clean energy more accessible while lowering electricity costs for families and organizations across Illinois.

Events like these create meaningful opportunities to engage in conversations about stewardship, sustainability, and practical solutions that benefit both people and the planet.

Thank you to Faith in Place for bringing together so many passionate voices committed to caring for creation and strengthening communities across the state. ☀️🌱

We're proud to announce that McLean 1 Community Solar has reached full operation, marking PureSky Energy's first community solar project in Illinois.

Developed through the Illinois Solar for All program, the 1.98 MW project is dedicated entirely to income-eligible households, helping expand access to clean energy savings while supporting Illinois' environmental justice and clean energy objectives.

McLean 1 is expected to generate enough electricity annually to serve the equivalent of approximately 439 households while delivering meaningful savings for participating subscribers.

Thank you to our partners, local organizations, and community stakeholders who helped make this milestone possible. We look forward to continuing to expand access to affordable clean energy across Illinois.

Strong communities are built by people and organizations that care about the places they call home.

That's why we're excited to join the 2026 Annual Environmental & Spirituality Summit on September 28-29, 2026, and connect with partners who share our commitment to environmental stewardship, energy affordability, and community well-being.

We'll be sharing how community solar can help more families, nonprofits, and local organizations participate in a cleaner energy future without installing panels on their own property.

We look forward to the conversations ahead.

There are just 50 days until the midterm elections, and one issue continues to cut across party lines: affordable energy.

Communities need practical solutions that help lower costs, improve energy resilience, and expand access to clean power. Community solar is helping deliver exactly that, creating savings opportunities while supporting local economies and energy independence.
