Home solar in Wyoming

Net metering survives in Wyoming for home systems up to 25 kW after a 2025 bill to cut it failed in the Senate, but there are no state rebates, tax credits or community solar.

14.4¢average home price per kWh (EIA, August 2026)

Harder case for solarNet metering is still the law, but power is cheap (about 14 cents/kWh), extra credits left at year end are bought back at a low avoided-cost price, and Wyoming offers no solar incentives.

Net metering Net metering available

Utilities must offer net metering for home systems up to 25 kW per meter. Each kWh you export offsets a kWh you buy, and extra credits roll forward month to month. Credits left at the end of the year are bought by the utility at its avoided cost, a fraction of retail. Bills to cut net metering failed in 2023 and 2025. Source

2025-12-31 Federal 30% homeowner tax credit (25D) ends

Federal tax credits

The 30% federal tax credit for homeowners who buy solar (Section 25D) ended for systems placed in service after December 31, 2025, so buying no longer earns a federal credit. If you lease or sign a power purchase agreement (PPA), the panels belong to a company that may still claim a business credit under federal deadlines that tighten through 2027. Ask your installer whether that savings is in your price.
