Unlock the Benefits of PACE Financing for Solar and Energy Efficiency in Missouri
At Helio GreenTech, we’re committed to making clean energy accessible and affordable for homeowners and businesses across Missouri. One of the most exciting tools for achieving this is Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing. This innovative program helps property owners fund solar installations and energy efficiency upgrades through their property taxes.
PACE financing is not only a smart financial tool but also a reflection of Missouri’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions. Administered in part by the Missouri Energy Initiative (MEI)—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization—PACE provides a trusted framework for property owners to make impactful energy upgrades.
What Is PACE Financing?
PACE financing allows property owners to pay for renewable energy and energy efficiency improvements over time, with payments structured as part of their property tax bill. This approach removes the barrier of upfront costs and provides a flexible, long-term solution.
Here’s how it works:
Upfront Funding: Covers 100% of the cost of eligible projects.
Repayment via Property Taxes: Payments are made through property tax assessments over terms typically ranging from 10 to 20 years.
Transferable: If you sell your property, the remaining repayment obligation can transfer to the new owner.
Who Administers PACE in Missouri?
In Missouri, PACE programs are administered by various entities, including the Missouri Energy Initiative (MEI). MEI is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption across the state. Their mission is to provide Missouri property owners with reliable, transparent resources to make informed decisions about clean energy solutions.

Missouri’s PACE Program and Interest in Kansas

While PACE is gaining momentum in Missouri, there’s also growing interest in expanding the program to Kansas. State legislators have discussed bringing PACE financing to Kansas, but as of now, it’s not yet available. Helio GreenTech is closely monitoring developments and will share updates as they arise.
