Beginning in July, Commonwealth Edison Co. customers will receive more power from the sun, thanks to a solar project under way in LaSalle County.

The 23-megawatt project by Chicago-based Invenergy LLC, using technology fromGeneral Electric Co.'s renewable arm, will be the largest solar project in the Midwest. But the 4,000 homes powered represent a small footprint when compared with ComEd's 3.8 million customers.
