Illinois homeowners can now get rooftop solar paired with a whopping 60-kWh home battery for no money down – but this isn’t free equipment.

Texas-based Solrite Energy has launched its solar-plus-storage program for qualifying homeowners in ComEd and Ameren Illinois territories. Solrite finances, owns, and maintains the system, while the homeowner buys the solar power it generates for 12 cents per kWh under a 25-year agreement.

That rate can rise by up to 2.9% each year. Customers will also continue to receive a utility bill for grid electricity and other applicable charges.

The standout is the battery. At 60 kWh, Solrite’s Duracell Power Center has more than four times the storage capacity of a 13.5 kWh Tesla Powerwall 3. It’s made up of 12 stackable 5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery modules and has 15 kW of continuous output.
