Need to know
- We rated 5 Mississippi solar companies on licensing, warranties, local presence, track record and options. The top three: Solar Alternatives (5, Top-rated), Mississippi Solar (4, Very good) and Carbon Recall Tupelo (3.5, Good).
- Mississippi credits solar power you send to the grid below the retail rate: 6.1 cents per kWh at Entergy Mississippi, plus 2.0 cents for income-qualified homes. Size the system for your own use.
- Solar is its own license classification at the Mississippi State Board of Contractors (Solar & Wind Construction or Residential Solar), and the wiring needs an electrical classification. Check both in the MSBOC search.
What solar costs in Mississippi
Prices are gross, before incentives; the federal credit is $0 for systems you own since January 1, 2026, and in Mississippi a lease can be netted but a PPA cannot. Batteries and roof work cost extra. Compare each quote’s price per watt with these numbers.

Who qualifies, deadlines and sources: Mississippi solar incentives.
What to check with your utility
Entergy Mississippi
- Exports earn 6.1 cents per kWh, or 8.1 cents for income-qualified homes. The avoided-cost part is reset each year.
- Systems are capped at 20 kW and 110% of last year's use, and panels must be on your building, not on the ground.
- A one-time fee of $95, or $135 if your home needs a new meter.
Mississippi Power
- Exports earn 6.01 cents per kWh on July to October bills and 5.59 cents the rest of the year (Option A).
- The avoided-cost part comes from a bulletin that can change; the 2.5 cents adder stays for 25 years.
- The rate sheet names no connection fee, so ask what it charges.
Coast Electric, Singing River and other Cooperative Energy co-ops
- Extra power is sold to Cooperative Energy at 4.5 cents per kWh, with no income adder.
- Systems are capped at 15 kW at the inverter, and a battery may not send power to the grid.
- The agreement allows a monthly fee for solar homes. Ask for it in writing.
TVA local power companies (such as Tupelo, Starkville and 4-County Electric)
- Extra power is sold to TVA at its standard price, 3.112 cents per kWh from October 1, 2026. Ask for it in writing.
- You sign an interconnection agreement with the local company and a purchase agreement with TVA before switching on.
Check the company and its warranty
Three names can appear in one solar deal: the company that sells, the company that signs the contract and the licensed people who do the work. Check that they fit together.
- Contract company: look up its license on the Mississippi State Board of Contractors (MSBOC) license: a commercial certificate with the Solar & Wind Construction classification, or a residential license with the Residential Solar classification. Electrical connections need an electrical classification.. The name must match your contract.
- Electrical connection: MSBOC's Solar & Wind Construction and Residential Solar classifications both require the contractor to also hold an electrical classification to make electrical connections (https://www.msboc.us/classifications/), and residential solar contractors and residential electrical subcontractors must be licensed by MSBOC (https://www.msboc.us/general-info/frequently-asked-questions/). Ask who does it.
- Warranty documents: ask for the workmanship warranty, the roof coverage terms and each equipment warranty before you sign.
Before your first sales call, read questions to ask your solar installer and how to read a solar quote.
Compare your Mississippi quotes
Ask every company to quote the same basics. Then the differences you see are real.
From quote to permission to operate
Some steps overlap, and timing depends on your town, your utility and equipment supply. Ask each installer for a written schedule for your project.
Proposal and site check
The installer looks at your roof, shading and electrical panel and gives you a written proposal.
You and the installerDesign and applications
After you sign, the installer finishes the design and applies to your utility for the connection.
Installer; you sign the formsPermits and utility review
Your town or county reviews the building and electrical permits. The utility reviews the connection.
Permit office and utilityInstallation and inspection
The crew installs the system. A licensed electrician connects it, and the inspector checks the work.
Installer crew, electrician and inspectorPermission to operate
The utility approves the system and updates your meter if needed. Turn the system on only after this step.

How we rate Mississippi solar companies
Each company gets up to 100 points from facts anyone can check: its own website and Mississippi’s public license records, read October 14, 2026. Facts a company does not publish earn no points. No company pays for its rating, and we do not use customer star reviews.
- Licensing (30 points): an active state license, a licensed electrician and license numbers printed on its website.
- Warranty protection (35 points): workmanship warranty length, roof-penetration coverage in writing and any production guarantee.
- Local presence (15 points): an office in Mississippi and Mississippi named as a service area.
- Track record (10 points): years installing solar.
- Options (10 points): batteries and the number of ways to pay.
Stars: 85 points or more is 5 (Top-rated), 72 is 4.5 (Excellent), 60 is 4 (Very good), 45 is 3.5 (Good), below 45 is 3 (Average). We did not inspect installations, collect customer quotes or test customer service.
Mississippi solar company FAQs
How do I check a Mississippi solar installer?
Ask for the company’s Mississippi State Board of Contractors license number and look it up in the board’s search. Check that it is active and lists a solar classification (Solar & Wind Construction or Residential Solar) and an electrical classification for the wiring. Then read the written workmanship warranty.
Does Mississippi have net metering?
Not one-for-one. Power you use at home saves the full rate, and exports earn a lower credit: 6.1 cents per kWh at Entergy Mississippi and 5.59 or 6.01 cents at Mississippi Power. Income-qualified homes get 2.0 cents more. At both, credit left at year end keeps carrying forward and is paid out when you close your account. Co-ops set their own terms, and TVA local power companies sell extra power to TVA at 3.112 cents per kWh.
Can I lease solar panels in Mississippi?
Yes. The state rule lets a system you own or lease earn the bill credit, but a power purchase agreement cannot be netted. Since the federal credit for owned home systems ended, a lease is how third-party ownership reaches a Mississippi roof. Compare its total cost with a cash or loan quote.
Is there a Mississippi solar tax credit or rebate?
No state tax credit: Form 80-401 lists none for home solar. Entergy’s rate sheet still lists a $3,000 lower-income payment and a $2,000 battery payment when we read it on October 19, 2026, with no battery payment after 2027, but EcoGen could not confirm either is open, and Mississippi Power’s are suspended. Sales tax applies at 7%, and the federal credit ended after 2025.
Will the companies on this page contact me?
Not because they appear here. This page is an editorial comparison. If you request quotes, the providers that serve your area may contact you. They can include installers, marketplaces and lead exchanges. Our page on how we make money explains how EcoGen is paid.
