As more Village residents are looking for ways to live "green" and reduce their carbon footprint, we provide a few resources:
Solar Panel Permits – The Village has developed a streamlined permit process for all residential permits – including the permit process for residential solar panels (see page 2 of the document). Please note that regardless of the vendor, installation does require that your roof meet a few criteria.
Alternate Energy Sources – While ComEd is the electric delivery utility serving our Community, you may select an alternate source for the actual energy portion of your service. ComEd offers a billing estimator as well as a list of ComEd Certified Retail Electric Suppliers, which you can use to research which energy providers use wind, solar or other non- coal burning operations to generate energy. (Be sure to do your research; The Village does not endorse any of these suppliers, but rather provides the ComEd link as a resource.)
Go Green – This Village Go Green webpage offers information on recycling, composting and more
