Frequently Asked Questions

How does Community Solar work?

It’s simple. Your Ameren account will be linked to Community Solar with Nexamp. Nexamp allocates a share of their community solar farm to match your electricity usage. This generates solar credits that appear on your Ameren bill, reducing the amount you owe. Nexamp bills you for these credits at a 20% or 50% discount. 

How do I qualify for the 50% discount? 

Eligibility is based on your annual household income. To view the eligibility requirements, visit ILSFA.nexamp.com. When you get in touch with us, Nexamp will help you determine if you’re eligible for the 50% discount. 

Does it cost anything? 

There is no fee to join and no upfront costs. You’ll receive a monthly bill from Nexamp for your discounted credits. If you decide to cancel at any time, there is no fee. 

Do I need solar panels on my roof? 

No, you do not need any solar panels on your roof. The panels are all on our community solar farms. 

Will I continue to receive a monthly bill from Ameren? 

Yes, Ameren will continue to be your utility provider and send you a monthly bill on which you will see your Nexamp credits. Nexamp will send you a bill for the discounted credits after they are applied to your Ameren bill.
