Solar in Kansas City: your utility and the rules
Most homes in Kansas City, Missouri get their electricity from Evergy Missouri Metro, an investor owned utility regulated by the Missouri Public Service Commission, and your bill confirms your provider since other utilities and an electric cooperative serve parts of the surrounding Northland. Under Missouri's Net Metering and Easy Connection Act, RSMo section 386.890, Evergy nets the power you use against the power your panels send back each billing period, and any excess is credited on the following bill at a rate based on Evergy's avoided fuel cost, with credits expiring twelve months after they are issued. Before your system is connected, Evergy must approve your net metering interconnection application, and the City Planning and Development Department handles solar permits through its CompassKC online system.

Common questions in Kansas City
Who is the electric utility for solar homes in Kansas City, Missouri?
Most Kansas City, Missouri homes are served by Evergy Missouri Metro, an investor owned utility. Other providers, including Evergy Missouri West and an electric cooperative, serve parts of the surrounding Northland, and Evergy says your bill lists your service territory on the first page.
Does Evergy offer net metering in Missouri?
Yes. Under RSMo section 386.890 and Evergy's net metering tariff, the electricity you use and the electricity your system sends back are netted each billing period. If you send back more than you use, the extra is credited on the next bill at a rate based on Evergy's avoided fuel cost, and those credits expire twelve months after they are issued.
Do I need a permit and utility approval to install solar in Kansas City, MO?
Kansas City's City Planning and Development Department reviews solar plans and issues permits through its CompassKC online system. Evergy also requires an approved interconnection application before your system can run connected to the grid, and it asks for any required city or county inspection reports before it exchanges your meter.
Is there still a federal tax credit for home solar?
The federal residential clean energy credit, section 25D, ended for home solar expenditures made after December 31, 2025, under the law signed July 4, 2025. The IRS treats the expenditure as made when installation is completed, so a system completed in 2026 does not qualify even if it was paid for earlier.
