Providing World Class Service & Support to Clients
Pleasant, considerate, knowledgeable, and professional staff with a quality product. We look forward to saving money and helping the planet.
The installers were great! They were unobtrusive and respectful of me and my property. The system is amazing! I’m expecting many years of power from my array and batteries. I highly recommend Astrawatt!
I was in the market for solar for a while and had received bids from multiple companies, but shortly after speaking with Scott, the decision to go with Astrawatt was a no brainer.
Astrawatt was super cost competitive, despite using the best technologies solar has to offer! Many competitors tried to sell me on cheaper inverters and panels for the same price.
Missouri Solar Incentives and Tax Credits
Federal Solar Tax Credit
The Investment Tax Credit (ITC), also called the federal solar tax credit, helps you reduce the cost of your solar energy system. You can deduct 30% of the cost of your solar energy system from your federal income taxes. There is no cap on the value of your tax credit and it applies to both residential and commercial systems.
The federal solar tax credit was recently increased to 30% and its timeline has been extended. If you install a solar PV system between now and 2032 you will receive a 30% tax credit. If you’ve already installed your solar system in 2022, your tax credit has been increased from 26% to 30% and you can take advantage of the increased tax savings.
Net Metering in Missouri
Net Metering is when your utility company monitors how much energy your home’s solar system produces and how much energy you consume. If your home’s solar system generates a surplus of energy, you will receive a credit from your utility company for that surplus energy.
Homeowners in some states receive full retail rate credit for the amount of surplus energy you send back into the grid. In Missouri, you receive credits at an avoided cost rate for the amount of surplus energy you generate.
Avoided cost rate is the amount it would have cost your utility company to burn coal or gas at one of its plants to generate electricity. Avoided cost rate is going to be less than a full retail credit, but as a Missouri homeowner you still receive credit for the excess energy your home’s solar system generates.
The state of Missouri requires all utility companies in the state to offer net metering to customers with solar power systems up to 100kW. You receive a credit on your monthly utility bill at the minimum of that utility company’s avoided cost rate.
Missouri Property Tax Exemptions for Solar Homeowners
Installing solar panels to your home will increase your home’s value by several thousand dollars. This is due to the substantial energy savings you will receive over the life of your solar power system.
All homeowners in Missouri are exempt from additional property taxes due to installing solar panels on their homes. Missouri does this to encourage homeowners in their state to take advantage of the cost savings from going solar.
Missouri Solar Rebates
Homeowners in the Kansas City metro area can take advantage of solar rebate programs that their local utility companies provide.
Evergy Missouri Solar Rebates
Evergy provides solar rebates for their customers in the state of Missouri. Solar rebates are available for residential systems up to 25 kW located in Evergy’s Missouri territories.
