Urges warehouse owners in Illinois to install rooftop solar panels on their properties and take advantage of available incentives

Illinois has more than 2,400 leased warehouses of at least 100,000 square feet, covering 632 million square feet total, with large flat roofs ideal for solar installation

At least 2 million Illinois residents live within half a mile of a warehouse, and solar installations could improve air quality in these high-warehouse-burden areas

Rooftop solar on warehouses would reduce demand for converting farmland into solar farms while helping businesses save on energy costs

Clean energy infrastructure at warehouses is needed to support charging of medium and heavy-duty electric vehicles to meet climate targets
