Summary of Wyoming solar incentives 2024

Wyoming continues to be a strong place to consider investing in home solar, not because of much work your legislators are doing, but mostly because costs have fallen and there's a high amount of sunshine blanketing the state. It helps there's a decent net-metering policy here as well, which ensures you get some credit for the solar energy you send back to the grid when you aren't using it at home.

Federal solar investment tax credit

The federal solar investment tax credit will have the biggest impact on the cost you will face to go solar in Wyoming

If you install your photovoltaic system before the end of 2032, the federal tax credit is 30% of the cost of your solar panel system. This is 30% off the entire cost of the system including equipment, labor, and permitting.

Example: If your solar energy system costs $20,000, your federal solar tax credit would be $20,000 x 30% = $6,000.

The federal tax credit falls to 26% starting in 2033.

Net energy metering in Wyoming

With net metering in some states, you get full retail rate credit for the amount of electricity you send back into the grid with your solar panels.

Net Metering requires your utility to monitor how much energy your solar power system produces and how much energy you actually consume to make sure you get credit for the surplus.

Wyoming requires investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives to offer net metering. Although there was a recent attempt by utility companies here to strip this policy away, that effort was narrowly defeated in 2019

Thankfully, all monthly surplus energy production is still applied to your next bill. Whether you get the full retail rate or the utility’s “avoided cost” (essentially the wholesale) rate varies by company. If you run a surplus for the entire year, the utility will purchase your remaining surplus annually at the avoided-cost rate. That’s a really solid net metering program!

Wyoming solar rebates

While Wyoming does not have a dedicated state rebate for solar panel installation, some manufacturers like LG offer their own solar rebates. These programs are usually time sensitive. For example, LG offers a $600 solar rebate on their equipment, which your installer can help you redeem over the next year.
