Kansas provides good solar conditions: With 5.0 daily peak sun hours and 13¢/kWh electricity rates, the Sunflower State offers reasonable conditions for solar adoption. Evergy serves much of the eastern part of the state with net metering available.
For Wichita and Kansas City area residents, solar systems typically pay for themselves in 9-11 years. Good sun exposure and low installation costs help offset moderate electricity rates.
