Residential Solar Panel Installation, St. Louis

While solar is a fantastic renewable energy solution, solar panels may not be a good fit for every property. The best way to find out is to schedule a complimentary consultation with a Brda technician who can evaluate your property’s solar potential.

Missouri residents can benefit from the Residential Clean Energy Credit, providing a tax credit equal to 30% of all your solar system costs—including labor, sales tax, and storage batteries.

Missouri also requires all electric utility providers to offer net metering through the Net Metering and Easy Connection Act. Simply put, this allows property owners to connect their solar panels to the power grid and earn credits off their electric bill for any surplus solar energy they provide—reducing and sometimes zeroing energy costs.

Insurance coverage varies by company policy, but yes—solar systems are usually covered by homeowner’s insurance. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm the details of your policy.

Given time, most solar panels pay for themselves—and provide a return on investment—over their lifecycle. There are many factors that influence profitability and how long it takes to recover initial costs. Data suggests it takes a U.S. household an average of 8-10 years to recoup the cost of a solar system installation.

The price of solar panels continues to drop rapidly thanks to technological improvements. However, most homeowners still wouldn’t consider them “cheap.” The overall cost depends largely on equipment quality, the scale of the project, and available tax credits or incentives. You can contact Brda for a fast quote and help with navigating solar tax benefits.

Your solar system’s capabilities depend on many factors, including your property, local climate, shade coverage, and equipment quality.
