FAQ
EverLume questions, answered in writing
EverLume offers residential rooftop solar to Illinois homeowners on ComEd. Answers below are checkable from the live homepage plus the locked market line. This page does not add commercial terms, irradiance, permit times, net-metering cents, or savings figures.
1. Does rooftop solar work in an Illinois winter?
EverLume offers residential rooftop solar to Illinois homeowners on ComEd. Panels make power from light, including winter light. Shorter days and snow on the array reduce production while they last; that is expected in Illinois and is not treated as a failure of the equipment. EverLume does not publish a winter savings figure. Qualification is still the roof, usage, and the ComEd bill. Some roofs are not a fit.
2. What happens if the homeowner sells the house?
The agreement transfers with the house. That is the term already stated on the EverLume homepage. EverLume does not describe a separate sale of the equipment as part of a listing. Buyers who want different numbers see those numbers in writing before anyone is asked to sign.
3. Is a battery required?
No. Battery storage is included when it is needed or wanted. It is not the lead offer. EverLume’s lead offer is residential rooftop solar for Illinois homeowners on ComEd. A roof-only fit and a roof-plus-battery fit are both possible; the house is checked first.
4. Does a ComEd ZIP code mean the house qualifies?
No. A ZIP code is not the qualify check. EverLume looks at the roof, usage, and a ComEd bill. The market is Illinois homeowners on ComEd, starting in Lombard, Addison, Downers Grove, Glen Ellyn, Glendale Heights, Oak Brook (DuPage parcels only), Oakbrook Terrace, and Villa Park. Cook County is out of market. Indiana is out of market. Municipal-electric cities are not treated as ComEd without address proof. Some roofs are not a fit.
5. Who owns the equipment?
The homeowner is buying the power, not the equipment. The panels and the battery stay with EverLume for the term of the agreement. There is a buyout option after five years. Because the hardware stays with EverLume, repair, replacement, and monitoring during the term are EverLume’s cost. EverLume does not add other ownership numbers beyond that homepage term.
6. What does “$0 upfront” mean?
The live EverLume homepage states solar and a battery for $0 upfront as the offer structure: the homeowner does not buy the machine on day one and instead buys the power the roof makes. That is not a claim that the service is free, and it is not a claim that there is no agreement or no obligation. The rate and the bill comparison are given in writing before anyone is asked to sign. Some houses are not a fit.
7. Will a home battery keep the whole house on through every outage?
No. The homepage limit stands: a home battery covers what matters for a while, not everything forever. Lights, the fridge, the internet, phones charging, and the furnace running are the kind of loads named there. It is not the whole house at full tilt for days. Storms still take the grid down.
8. How does a homeowner check whether the roof qualifies?
EverLume looks at the roof, usage, and the ComEd bill. That is the first of the four steps already on the homepage. Some houses are not a fit, and EverLume will say so. Numbers are provided in writing before anyone is asked to sign. The public path is the existing homepage control, “See if your roof qualifies,” at https://www.goeverlume.com. There is no public street to visit.
