There can be solar tax credits and incentives available at the federal, state and local levels. The calculator above will show you the value of all incentives your home is eligible for.
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.
Read on to learn all you need to know about investing in home solar in Wyoming!
Learn what solar incentives are available to Wyoming homeowners
See what Wyoming solar incentives you qualify for based on your utility company and city
Find out how much these incentives and/or Wyoming solar tax credits will reduce your cost to go solar and add batteries
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.
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!
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.

... when such service has become a thing of the past. My solar inverter failed two weeks after my prior installer went under. I was in a panic, with no clear path forward. My good fortune was to be directed to Apollo Energy, where Zach W. got me in their care, Chris S. provided the knowledge, insight reassurance, and intervention with the manufacturer, so that my solar would be restored, Lastly, Zane replaced the inverter, and had it in operation, in under an hour. I expected weeks of lost production, but this team this fine crew, had it back in operation only two weeks after the failure was discovered. They made this old coal geologist very happy that I went solar. Harlen A., Thornton CO

Prospector Installation , over 1 month
It hs been years since we had solar installed by CE. Great product. good results. After all these years we changed internet service and needed some help getting our system reporting. We have not had reporting since October of 2023. Our calls to Creative Energies ended with a need to replace two 'Emphase' modules at a price of over $1300. There was no attempt to be willing to help, without getting a service fee. This is a simple reset since this all occurred after switching to Xfinity. After years of recommending them...I can no longer do so. All the installation and product kudoes asside...service is still the reason we should support a company. They simply said...sorry...you are out of warranty. There is a 10 year warranty...... so why no service!

Kevin went beyond to help me get my wind turbine going. He never made a cent off me, but helped any way. I can not thank him enough. I hope any one needing parts or a quote on a new system give his company a shot. Thanks again,Mike

4 months and no system installed, over 1 month
On September 20, 2023 I signed a contract for an 18 panel solar system. As of January 18, 2024 I still do not have my system installed. I received a call from Operations Manager on December 6th. He apologized for the delay and committed to having the system installed no later than December 20th. December 2023 was mild weather and perfect to get the system installed; January 2024 not as nice. I have not heard from Ops Manager since the December 6th phone call; even after missing the date he committed to. On January 3rd 2 people brought hardware in a trailer. As of January 18, 2024 the trailer and hardware are sitting in my yard. I have not had any updates and the local electric association reached out to me to get a phone number. Manager has been incommunicado.

Our organization worked with Fenton Energy to install a new solar system at our office in the summer of 2016. This family owned, friendly, small business was very easy to work with and served us with a can-do professional attitude. They were excellent troubleshooters and were able to meld our old system with the new system so now we have double the capacity at our office. The system has worked without a hitch since installation. We look forward to working with them again soon.

Disgruntledinfl, 3 weeks ago
First off, I was advised that the total process would take 3 months to get my solar panels installed. It took one year from when I signed the contract for my system to actually be up and running and it took over 6 months to actually get my panels installed. Since then they have not paid the installer and they are now going to place lien on my home even though GHS received their money from me. Poor communication throughout and I went through three different project managers. When I initially signed the contract, I did review this compan y's history and they had a good reading on BBB at that time but since then it has tanked, do not recommend

It started out promising. They seemed to know their stuff. It took a while to get started, but once they finally did it moved along quickly. They did all but the final 2-3 hours of hooking up to the grid and making it actually power my house. It has been over 3 years. They are no longer returning my calls. They have promised at least 5 times to finish in a week. There was a miscommunication at one point where I actually owed them some money, but didn't realize it because I had gotten an email agreeing that all I still owed them was $500 when the job was finished. Over a year ago we figured out that problem. I asked them if I paid the small balance, would they have it finished within 30 days. They said yes. That was 14 months ago. They are no longer returning my calls. It looks like I'm going to have to get a lawyer and sue them to get my job finished. The worst part is 3 years of the life of my system are gone without my even getting one watt of power out of it and there is no telling how much more time it will take to get it working.
