Missouri receives solid sunshine with about 4.5 peak sun hours daily, particularly in the southern and western regions of the Show-Me State. The state's net metering mandate and periodic utility rebate programs have helped build a growing residential solar market.

Ameren Missouri and Evergy (formerly Kansas City Power & Light) are the state's largest utilities, and both are required to offer net metering at full retail rates under Missouri's renewable energy standard. Ameren Missouri has offered Solar Rebate programs that provide additional per-watt incentives for residential systems, though funding levels have varied over the years.

St. Louis, Kansas City, and Springfield are the leading residential solar markets. With moderate electricity rates and the combination of net metering and the federal tax credit, Missouri homeowners typically see payback periods of 10-12 years.
