More about solar power in MissouriHere's a quick rundown of what you need to know about solar energy in Missouri. First, the state's solar incentive offerings are minimal. Columbia Water & Light sponsors a solar rebate program. Missouri customers who install a solar thermal (solar hot water) system may qualify to receive $400 to $800. Customers who install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels may receive $0.50 per watt of installed PV capacity. Missouri also sponsors an energy loan program to provide schools with loan interest loans for the purchase of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. Beyond this, the pickins are currently pretty slim for state-sponsored solar incentives. What does this mean? Well, at present this means that Missouri businesses and residents who are interested in installing a solar energy system are likely to face higher costs than people living in states that provide strong financial incentives for solar. Everything is not lost, however. Buyers in Missouri can take a 30-percent federal renewable energy tax credit when the install solar panels or a solar thermal system. Residents who take the federal credit, worth up to 30 percent of total installed system costs, may carry forward any excess credit to the subsequent tax year. Finally, for commercial systems installed in 2009 and 2010, businesses can receive a solar energy grant instead of, and equal to, the 30-percent tax credit.
