ROCKFORD, Ill. (WTVO)  A new community solar program, called Give-A-Ray, will soon give power to thousands of Rockford residents, thanks to a partnership between ComEd and Nexamp.

We will be able to supply all of the community solar credits that are generated at this facility for free, for the next 15 years. to low income customers. Its going to generate about $2.5 million benefit and help about 10,000 families over the next 15 years, said Nexamp Senior VP of Community Solar, Allan Telio. The program is set to launch this fall.
