Our Missouri Solar Plans

Purchase

Go solar by purchasing your solar system outright and benefit from your self-generated electricity as soon as your system goes online.

Financing

Create a financing program that can be customized to fit your needs and monthly budget – with no prepayment penalties.

Lease Options

For government entities and businesses, there are short-term lease options that require $0 out of pocket and can help maximize long-term savings.

Missouri Incentives

Federal Income Tax Credit

Taxpayers may be able to claim a tax credit on their Federal Income Tax return of 30% for qualified expenditures on a solar system that provides electricity to their residence. Business taxpayers may be eligible for a similar tax credit of 30% or more, depending on the circumstances, on a solar system that they own. Individual or business tax credits may be possible to carry forward to offset future tax liabilities if there is insufficient tax liability in the solar system’s first year of operation. Consult your tax advisor to determine whether this credit is available to you and for what amount.

Local Utility Rebates

Utilities and local municipalities may offer additional solar incentives that property owners can take advantage of to save even more.

Net Metering

Full retail rate net metering may provide customers with credits for the excess generated energy from their solar system. If your solar system produces more energy than you’re using, you may get credits applied to your monthly electricity bill at the discretion of your utility provider.2 Net metering can vary, depending on your utility provider.

Steps to Solar

1

Consultation

During this meeting, we’ll share details about your system and answer any questions you may have about your project and solar energy.

2

Design

Our site surveyor will visit to take precise measurements – and share them with our design team to help with the completion of your system design.

3

Permitting

Along with a design packet and approval from a licensed structural engineer, we send required documents to your municipality for a building permit, which is granted at the discretion of the municipality, or authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).3

4

Installation

Once permitting is approved, we’ll get your installation scheduled. Most residential installations take from one to three days – and we’ll show you around the system once installation is complete.

Installations Around Missouri

Our Missouri teams can provide a full range of solar services – from design to completion and beyond – to support installation and maintenance of residential, commercial, and agricultural solar systems, as well as additional enhancements such as battery storage.
