Request Missouri solar quotes
Ready to compare Missouri prices?
Enter your ZIP code to ask solar providers that serve your area for quotes. Compare each quote with the checklist below.
Solar providers that serve your area may contact you, and they pay EcoGen for the introduction. Providers can include installers, solar marketplaces and lead exchanges, and more than one may contact you. How we make money.
Need to know
- We rated 12 Missouri solar companies on licensing, warranties, local presence, track record and options. The top three: Shinnova Solar (3, Average), Cromwell Solar (3, Average) and StraightUp Solar (3, Average).
- Missouri nets your solar one for one only inside each billing month. Power left over at month-end earns 1.90 to 3.84 cents per kWh at the large utilities and expires after 12 months, so size the system to your monthly use.
- Missouri has no state contractor license, and its statewide electrical contractor license is optional. Cities and counties license electricians, so ask for the local license that covers your address, or the statewide license number.
What solar costs in Missouri
No federal credit for systems you own finished after December 31, 2025. Power netted within the month earns full retail, a monthly surplus earns avoided fuel cost and expires after 12 months, and simple payback before incentives is about 14.8 years at Ameren Missouri, the largest utility (14.7 to 18.1 years across the large private utilities). Batteries and roof work cost extra. Compare each quote’s price per watt with these numbers.
Source: EcoGen Solar Cost Index, September 2026 Edition, prices as of September 25, 2026. Full breakdown: Missouri solar panel prices.
Solar incentives, tax breaks and rebates in Missouri
- Net metering
- Every Missouri electric utility must net the solar power you send out against the power you buy in the same month, for systems up to 100 kW.
- Monthly surplus
- Power left over at month-end earns 1.90 to 3.84 cents per kWh at Ameren Missouri, Evergy and Liberty, and unused credit expires after 12 months.
- Sales tax
- A solar company buys system parts free of Missouri sales tax (RSMo 144.030.2(46), since August 28, 2022), so the saving sits inside its price. Do-it-yourself buyers do not get it.
- Property tax
- No exemption to rely on: the Missouri Supreme Court struck the solar exemption down on August 9, 2022, and your county assessor may count rooftop panels in your home's value.
- Columbia Water & Light
- Pays $500 per kW, up to $550 per kW with the peak factor, so 5 kW gets $2,500. It credits extra power at your full rate and offers loans up to $15,000.
- Taxes
- No state solar tax credit or rebate. The federal homeowner credit ended for systems finished after December 31, 2025.
- HOA rules
- Since January 1, 2023, deed restrictions and association rules may not limit or prohibit panels on a roof you own and maintain (RSMo 442.404).
Who qualifies, deadlines and sources: Missouri solar incentives.
What to check with your utility
Ameren Missouri
- Month-end surplus earns 3.84 cents per kWh June to September and 3.39 cents October to May (rate sheet of June 1, 2026).
- On Smart Saver, Overnight Saver and Ultimate Saver plans the netting runs inside each time period. Ask which plan you are on before sizing.
- Apply before installing. Ameren must answer within 30 days for a system of 10 kW or less.
Evergy Missouri Metro and Missouri West
- Month-end surplus earns 1.90 cents (Metro) or 1.98 cents (Missouri West) per kWh, and credit expires after 12 months.
- Evergy's solar subscription does not lower your bill; Evergy says one share adds about $5 to $15 a month.
Liberty, co-ops and city utilities
- Liberty credits month-end surplus at 3.31 cents per kWh June to September and 3.30 cents October to May.
- Co-ops and city utilities must offer net metering but set their own surplus rate. Ask for it in writing.
- Columbia Water & Light pays a $500 per kW rebate, but only if it approves the system before you install.
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 Missouri Office of Statewide Electrical Contractors (Division of Professional Registration): an optional statewide electrical contractor license, issued since July 1, 2019. Missouri has no statewide general or home improvement contractor license; cities and counties license contractors and electricians.. The name must match your contract.
- Electrical connection: The statewide license is optional: a contractor working where it holds the local license, or where none is required, does not need it (RSMo 324.920.4), and permits and inspections stay with the city or county, so the electrician who connects your system needs the license your city or county requires (https://pr.mo.gov/electricalcontractors-FAQ-Contractors.asp). 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 Missouri 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.
Utility
How we rate Missouri solar companies
Each company gets up to 100 points from facts anyone can check: its own website and Missouri’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 Missouri and Missouri 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.
Missouri solar company FAQs
How do I check a Missouri solar installer's license?
Missouri has no state contractor license. Its statewide electrical contractor license is optional, so search MOPRO’s Licensee Search under Electrical Contractor, which names the licensee’s employer. If the company has none, ask for the city or county license that covers your address and check it there. Match the business name to your contract.
Does Missouri have net metering?
Yes, at every electric utility, for systems up to 100 kW. Solar power you send out cancels power you buy in the same month. Power left over at month-end becomes a small dollar credit at the utility’s avoided fuel cost, 1.90 to 3.84 cents per kWh at the large utilities, and unused credit expires after 12 months.
How much do solar panels cost in Missouri?
About $2.74 per watt in the EcoGen Solar Cost Index, September 2026 Edition. The typical 7.69 kW system runs about $21,071 before incentives, and 5 kW to 12 kW systems run about $13,700 to $32,880. Simple payback before incentives is about 14.8 years at Ameren Missouri, the largest utility, and 14.7 to 18.1 years across the large private utilities, because Missouri power is cheap.
Is there a Missouri solar tax credit or rebate?
No state tax credit or statewide rebate. The federal homeowner credit ended for systems finished after December 31, 2025. Solar companies buy parts free of sales tax, which sits inside their price. Columbia Water & Light customers can get a $500 per kW rebate if the utility approves the system before installation.
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.
