Arkansas offers no solar energy rebates or performance payments. The Natural State also has no RPS. As of June 2020, the cost of solar panels in Arkansas is $3.91/watt on average. A typical 6 kW solar system will cost you $23,477 (prior to the federal solar credit deduction) and $17,373 after the federal solar tax credit is claimed.
All utility companies in the state offer Net Metering, and you will get credit at retail electricity rates if you produce more solar power than you consume.
Net metered systems for home solar in Arkansas can be up to 25 kW large. That comes to nearly 80 panels, which is more than sufficient to meet your electricity needs, even if you are housing a few families.
The Arkansas legislature in 2019 allowed solar leasing, which opens up more options for you if you want to go solar.
