Solar Companies in Kansas

Kansas receives strong sunshine - nearly 5 peak sun hours daily - particularly in the western part of the state, giving the Sunflower State solid solar energy potential. While Kansas is more renowned for its wind resources, residential solar is gaining momentum as installation costs decline.

Kansas mandates net metering at full retail rates for investor-owned utilities including Evergy (formerly Westar Energy and Kansas City Power & Light). The state also provides a property tax exemption for solar equipment, ensuring homeowners don't face higher property taxes after installation. There is no state solar tax credit, but the federal credit remains available.

Wichita, Overland Park, and Kansas City (Kansas side) are the primary residential solar markets. With moderate electricity rates and solid sunshine, Kansas homeowners can expect payback periods of 10-12 years after the federal tax credit.
