Northern Illinois is about to see its rooftops work harder than ever — not for real estate developers, but for households priced out of the clean energy transition.
This week, Prologis and utility ComEd kicked off what’s set to become the largest rooftop community solar portfolio in the region, starting with a logistics center in Franklin Park. Over the next two years, 45 Prologis rooftops will be fitted with solar arrays capable of generating 82 megawatts (MW) of clean energy.
More than half of that power will go to income-qualified households through a subscription model that lowers bills without requiring solar panels on individual homes.
