ComEd said will letters go out this week to single family homeowners in
the innovation corridor along I-290 – which includes 130,000 customers
in Melrose Park, Bellwood, Maywood, River Forest, Oak Park, Forest Park,
Broadview, Hillside, Berwyn and the Humboldt Park section of Chicago –
asking for single-family homeowners to test solar panels.
...
The three-year photovoltaic pilot is partially funded by a $5 million
U.S. Department of Energy grant and allows ComEd to install 100 solar
arrays on residential homes in the corridor. The arrays produce enough
electricity to power a small home and at the end of the pilot, the
homeowners keep the panels, said Maryl Freestone, senior engineer and
project manager for the PV pilot.
