AME to Receive ComEd Smart Inverter Rebate for Its Recent Solar Investment

AME to Receive ComEd Smart InverterRockford, Illinois, USA--02/26/2019--Advanced Machine & Engineering Co. (AME), a global manufacturer and distributor of precision machine tool components and metal cutting solutions, will be presented a rebate check from Commonwealth Edison Company (ComEd) as part of their smart inverter rebate program. The check presentation event will take place at 11:00 am (CST) on Friday, March 15, 2019 at the AME manufacturing facility.

AME is the first company in the IL region to complete a large-scale smart inverter rebate application for its recent installment of 2,200 solar panels (704 KW solar array) on the roof of its manufacturing facility.

The solar installation qualified AME for the Illinois Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and the Solar Renewable Energy Credit (SRECs). Collectively, these incentives covered 70 to 80 percent of all system costs, making the movement to green easier to achieve.

“Businesses that invest in solar aren’t just investing in a cleaner future--they’re investing in themselves by becoming more sustainable and independent. The energy savings that are involved allow them more opportunities.” says Teague Dickey, CEO of Iconic Energy.

Going green allows AME to reduce its carbon footprint and that of the surrounding community, and helps transform Rockford by encouraging other local businesses to join the clean energy movement.

“We all have a social responsibility to protect our environment. Clean energy, like solar and wind power, is a step in the right direction,” says Dietmar Goellner, AME President and CEO.
