As we navigate 2025, the solar industry faces significant changes that directly impact homeowners in Kansas and Missouri. At Helio GreenTech, we’re dedicated to keeping you informed and ensuring that your transition to solar energy is seamless and beneficial. Recent developments in federal policies, energy rates, and market dynamics make this an opportune time to consider solar power for your home.

Understanding Recent Federal Policy Changes

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring a national energy emergency. This order aims to boost fossil fuel production and roll back certain clean energy initiatives established in previous administrations. While the full implications for the solar industry are still unfolding, it’s clear that federal support mechanisms may shift, potentially affecting incentives and funding for renewable energy projects.

Rising Energy Costs in Missouri

In January 2025, Evergy, a major utility provider in Missouri, implemented a substantial rate increase of 13%, marking one of the highest hikes in recent history. This follows the Time-of-Use (TOU) billing changes introduced last year, which have led to higher electricity costs during peak usage times. These developments make energy expenses more unpredictable and emphasize the need for cost-effective alternatives like solar power.

The Financial Benefits of Going Solar Now

Despite potential changes in federal policies, the current landscape offers significant financial incentives for homeowners considering solar:

• Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): As of now, the ITC provides a 30% credit on qualifying system costs, allowing homeowners to save thousands on their initial investment.

• Decreased Interest Rates: Interest rates have declined significantly from last year, making financing a solar installation more affordable.

• Protection Against Rising Utility Rates: By generating your own electricity, you can shield yourself from future utility rate increases and achieve greater energy independence.
