Wyoming Solar
Wyoming is a great place to switch to residential solar for many reasons. The sunny climate in Wyoming, solar incentives, and the rising costs of fossil fuels. Many customers have been able to eliminate their Wyoming Power Bill completely by switching to solar power. This allows them to lock in their costs with a monthly solar payment and not have to worry about the future of rising energy costs. Solar has never been more reliable and it shows with Wyoming having solar warranties of up to 30 years which will give you peace of mind.
Sunshine in Wyoming
A great reason to go Solar in Wyoming is that it receives an impressive amount of sunshine. On average, Wyoming has 222 sunny days each year with the capital city of Cheyenne having a whopping 233, while the more central city of Caspar has 218 days of direct sunlight. The amount of energy that your system will produce is in direct relation to the amount of sunshine that your solar system receives. Montana receives a great deal of sunshine, so you shouldn’t have to worry too much about producing enough electricity for your home.
Trees and Shade in Wyoming
Wyoming is known for its incredible natural resources including their forests, which cover almost 20% of the state’s landmass. With this in mind, depending on where you live you could have a lot of trees surrounding your home. Trees can have a big impact on your home and if it will be a good fit for solar power. Tall trees and large branches can block the amount of sunlight hitting your solar panels. Since Wyoming has many forested areas, it is important to access your property and it’s landscaping. You may have fewer trees if you live in a city area or a new development which would mean more direct sunlight for your solar panels. Many homeowners are still able to fully benefit from their solar system by trimming the trims that are blocking sunlight from your roof. Remember, every home in Wyoming is different.

Wyoming Net Metering & Power Credits
Wyoming power companies such as Rocky Mountain Power have a system in place called Net Metering which makes home solar affordable and easy.
Net metering is a great program for homeowners looking to switch to solar. This is due to the fact that the amount of sunlight that you receive changes from day to day. There will be sunny days when your system produces too much power and cloudy days when your system doesn’t produce enough. Net metering provides the opportunity to customers to balance out this power throughout the year. When your system has an overabundance of energy, this extra energy will flow back into the grid for someone else to use right then.
This surplus of electricity will become credits which will be added onto your account and these credits will be applied to offset your power consumption in future months when your system produces less power.
