How Solar Works
How Do Residential Solar Panels Work?
The average monthly electric bill in Missouri is $108 per month. What if you could cut that rate in half or even pay nothing on your electric bill by going solar? Lebanon has an average of five peak hours of sunlight per day, making it a great place to invest in solar energy!
Own your power with no money down and a solution customized to meet your needs. By installing solar panels in Lebanon, you’ll increase your home’s value and qualify for energy tax credits and rebates for even more savings — all while doing your part for the environment.

Residential Solar Panel Installation Process
The process for going solar is quick and straightforward. Our design and engineering team will create custom blueprints for your solar panel system and apply for your net metering approval and permits from the city and county. After obtaining approval, we will schedule your installation. We’ll issue final documentation to your utility provider, and then we will assist you with setting up and monitoring your system.

Do Solar Panels Work Well in Missouri?
According to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Missouri is one of the best places in the world for solar panel systems. Consider the following statistics:
Missouri has more than 200 sunny days per year for an average of 0.5 to 5 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day. Missouri’s solar resources surpass Germany’s, which leads the world in solar energy production on less than 3 kWh per square meter per day.
The cost of electricity in Missouri has risen recently to 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, making the need for renewable energy sources more critical.
Up to a 30% tax credit is available from the federal government for new solar panel systems
Three of the leading utilities in Missouri provide a $500/kW rebate, and a 26% to 30% federal tax credit means you get back nearly a third of your investment in less than a year.
Solar increases home value by nearly $12,000, but your property tax stays the same.
The Benefits of Going Solar
Residential Solar Batteries & Generators
Most traditional solar energy systems are tied to the grid for maximum flexibility and power after dark. But what if you want to go off-grid or store energy for cloudy days or nighttime use? That’s where energy storage comes in. We offer battery backup storage for solar panels and natural gas-powered generators through our partnership with Generac.

With solar batteries, the next power outage in your neighborhood doesn’t have to be a day-ruiner (or even disruptive) to you and your family. You can also use solar batteries to save money on energy costs. Our customers report three critical benefits of solar batteries:
- Solar batteries offset costs imposed by your utility company by providing you with another option during peak energy use times.
- When the rest of town is scrambling to adapt to the latest blackout, solar battery owners can live in comfort and continue about their normal life relatively unaffected.
- Solar battery owners often use their batteries at night to reduce power draws from the utility company and ease into living off the grid if desired.
