The US government wants more people to go solar: it’s a modern and green way of getting energy. This is why the Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) program was developed. It allows American citizens to claim 30% of the cost of their installation as an income tax deduction. The cost here is not only solar panels, but also shipping, installation expenses and more. For example, if your system overall made you spend $10,000, the government returns you $3,000. To claim the ITC, complete all the necessary forms and submit them when filing your taxes.
In Wyoming all investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives must offer net metering. Net Metering allows residential solar owners to put the excess electricity into the utility grid instead of storing it with batteries.
The law doesn’t specify what kind of system the companies should use. Some give the customers standard kWh credits, while others prefer Net Billing – a system that uses different rates for the energy you buy and the energy you sell. Usually, the utility pays a bit less for your energy then they charge for theirs. When you sell your solar power to the grid, you receive credits that can be used to offset your next bills. The value of the credits is calculated by the utility company.
In Wyoming, access to sunshine is considered a property right. It is defined as a line-of-sight path from a solar device to the sun, allowing the radiation to hit the collectors directly. To check if the right can be attached to your solar panels, imagine a 10-foot wall around your property on a winter solstice day. If your modules get any shade from the wall during the day, they don’t qualify. The right comes into existence upon the issuance of a solar permit. The task of developing a mechanism for getting a permit lies wholly with local governments, so contact them for details. Keep in mind that the law is only valid between 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., when the sun is most active. Outside of this window, the rules may be infringed without compensation.
It is legal to install solar panels on your house. The law does not permit private restrictions on solar energy systems and homeowners associations (HOAs) are no exception. All standard limitations, as described by the Development Code, stay in place. They include safety and health measures, preservation of public views and historic landmarks and the like.
