Is Solar Assure licensed to work in Kansas?

Yes. Solar Assure is licensed in both Missouri and Kansas. Headquartered in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri, about 3.5 hours east of Overland Park, with systems installed across both states for years. For Overland Park specifically, installs are scheduled in batches so crews make efficient trips west. The install itself is a one-day job by a Missouri crew. Partner technicians local to the KC metro cover service calls and warranty work.

How much does residential solar cost in Overland Park, KS?

A typical Overland Park home needs a 9 to 12 kW solar system, with pre-incentive costs ranging from $22,000 to $32,000 depending on panel count, battery inclusion, and roof complexity. OP homes tend to be larger and use more energy than KCK or KC MO homes, which means bigger systems and higher absolute costs. The homes are also newer (median build 1989), so panel upgrades are rarely needed (often a $2,000 to $3,500 line item skipped entirely vs. a typical older home). With $0 down financing, most OP homeowners see monthly payments below their current Evergy bill from month one.

Is the 30% federal residential solar tax credit still available in 2026?

No. The 30% federal residential solar tax credit expired on December 31, 2025 for cash and loan purchases under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed in July 2025. Any company advertising a 30% federal tax credit for new 2026 residential solar purchases is either promoting third-party-owned leases or PPAs (a separate provision that still qualifies through 2027) or being misleading.

For Overland Park, KS homeowners

Solar installation in Overland Park, Kansas. Where the math works better than anywhere in our service area.

Overland Park is Johnson County's largest city, with 208,000 residents, the second-most populous city in Kansas, and arguably the state's premier residential market. It also has the best setup for solar of anywhere we install: median home $413K, median household income $104K, newer housing stock (median build year 1989, so modern 200-amp panels are standard), and Kansas's state-codified net metering on Evergy. Large roofs. Higher consumption. Better export rates. The math pencils out fast.

Evergy Kansas Metro, with net metering. Same utility and same state-codified net metering as Kansas City, KS. Excess energy is credited at Evergy's monthly system average cost per kWh, a noticeably better rate than the wholesale rate Missouri customers get.
Newer homes mean simpler installs. 27% of Overland Park homes were built after 2000. Modern electrical panels, simple rooflines, sound roofs. Often our fastest installs and cheapest prep-work bills anywhere in our service area.
Sundance Ridge, Coventry Valley, Terrybrook Farms welcome. We install in every Blue Valley and Shawnee Mission district subdivision. We handle any HOA architectural review paperwork. Kansas state law limits HOA solar restrictions, though design guidelines still apply.

Why OP is the best solar market we serve

The wealthiest, best-educated, newest-housed major city in our footprint.

Overland Park's numbers are remarkable. 62.9% of adults hold a bachelor's degree, roughly double the national average. 25.3% hold graduate or professional degrees. Median household income is $104K. Home values are up 7.6% year over year. These aren't just demographic bragging rights. They're predictors of solar suitability. Higher incomes mean higher electric consumption, newer homes mean modern electrical systems, and professional-class homeowners value long-horizon investments.

What makes OP different

Overland Park isn't Kansas City, KS, even though they share the same utility.

If you've read our Kansas City, KS page, you already know the fundamentals: Evergy Kansas, state-codified net metering, true monthly-average excess export rate. All of that applies here. But the install experience in Overland Park is very different from KCK. Different housing stock, different homeowner profile, different system sizing conversation. Here's how that plays out:

2.4x KCKHome value$413K vs $172K median. Bigger homes, bigger systems, bigger savings.

1989 medianHousing agevs 1960 in KCK. Modern 200-amp panels are standard. Rarely needs upgrades.

$104KIncomevs $62K in KCK. Average HH $141K. Easy $0-down loan qualification.

For an OP homeowner, the solar install process is usually simpler, the system is usually larger, and the monthly payment usually beats your current Evergy bill even faster than it would for a median-price KCK home. It's the easiest quote we run because the numbers are honest.

Your utility in Overland Park

Same Evergy Kansas Metro as KCK, same net metering.

Overland Park, like Kansas City KS, is served by Evergy Kansas Metro, the Kansas investor-owned utility governed by the Kansas Corporation Commission. That means the same state-codified net metering rules that make Kansas one of the better solar markets in the Midwest apply to your OP home too.

Here's exactly how Evergy interconnection works in Overland Park:

Predictable process, state-enforced rules. Kansas law (K.S.A. 66-1263 et seq.) requires Evergy to offer net metering on a first-come, first-served basis. The Kansas Corporation Commission enforces compliance. No surprises.

A fun fact about your city

You live next to 300 acres of botanical gardens.

The Overland Park Arboretum and Botanical Gardens, a 300-acre green space at 179th and Antioch, is the kind of municipal amenity that other cities envy. Eight miles of walking trails, themed botanical gardens, a legacy forest preserve, and a train garden. It's a quiet anchor of OP's identity: a suburban community that takes green space seriously. That's not unrelated to solar, actually. The same civic values that built a 300-acre arboretum tend to produce homeowners who see rooftop solar as a logical extension of the same thinking.

Other OP fun facts: the Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead draws 500,000+ visitors annually, a free, city-run attraction that most municipalities can't fathom funding. The Museum at Prairiefire has a facade clad in shimmering panels that evoke the prairie sunset. Oak Park Mall is the largest mall in Kansas. The Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art at Johnson County Community College is one of the best collegiate museums in the country. OP is home to major corporate campuses for T-Mobile (the former Sprint HQ), Black & Veatch, Applebee's, and YRC Worldwide.

Overland Park has been named #1 Best Cities to Buy a House in America, #4 Best Cities to Raise a Family, and #7 Cities with the Best Public Schools (Niche, 2021). The Blue Valley School District consistently ranks top 10 nationally. When we install in Sundance Ridge, Coventry Valley, or Terrybrook Farms, we're not just putting panels on roofs. We're upgrading homes that families bought because of these schools and plan to live in for 20-30 years. That's the ideal profile for a 25-year solar investment.

Where we install

Every Overland Park neighborhood, from historic to brand-new.

OP's housing stock divides roughly into two eras: established neighborhoods (1970s-1990s subdivisions, some older) and south OP new-construction communities (2000s-2020s, mostly Blue Valley district). Different install conversations for each.

Common questions

Questions Overland Park homeowners actually ask.

What electric utility serves Overland Park, Kansas?

Overland Park is served by Evergy Kansas Metro, the same Evergy Kansas subsidiary that serves Kansas City, KS and most of Johnson County. Kansas state law (K.S.A. 66-1263 et seq.) requires Evergy to offer net metering to qualifying solar customers, crediting excess energy at the utility's monthly system average cost per kWh, a noticeably better rate than the wholesale avoided-cost rate Missouri customers receive. Under HB 2527 (signed June 2024), residential systems can be up to 150 kW with sizing matched to historic load via the K.S.A. 66-1267 formula. Most Overland Park homes need 5 to 12 kW based on the formula, well within the cap.

Does solar make sense on an expensive Overland Park home?

Often yes, and sometimes more so than on a median-price home. Overland Park's median home value is $413,600 (2024), which means larger roofs, higher electricity consumption from larger HVAC systems, and longer home tenure. Solar with Kansas's net metering pays back well under these conditions. The demographic data tells the story: OP's average household income is $141,150, homes are newer (median build year 1989), and most have modern 200-amp electrical panels that don't need upgrading. These are among the simplest, most favorable installs in our service area. We also see strong interest from OP homeowners with EVs (or EV purchases planned), one of the clearest cases where solar plus charging at home consistently beats utility rates over 10+ years.

Can new-construction subdivisions like Sundance Ridge or Coventry Valley have solar?

Yes, and these communities are actually our most efficient installs. Sundance Ridge, Coventry Valley, Terrybrook Farms, Riverstone, Wilshire Hills, Chapel Hill, and Southern Meadows all have modern 200-amp electrical panels, simple rooflines, and sound roofs (no need for re-roofing before solar). HOA approval is the main variable, and we handle the paperwork. Some HOAs have design guidelines for panel placement; Kansas state law generally limits HOA restrictions on solar visibility, but specific architectural review still applies. Our install crews know the Blue Valley-district HOA review process well.

What about HOA restrictions?

Kansas has solar-access protections in state law that limit how much HOAs can restrict solar. Most OP HOAs have architectural review processes that require you to submit your planned panel placement and system specs. They can request panels be placed on less-visible roof facets (rear or side vs. front street-facing) when technically feasible, but they generally can't ban solar outright. We submit your packet on your behalf and navigate any pushback. Timeline: most OP HOAs respond within 2-4 weeks. If your HOA raises issues, we've dealt with the common ones before.

I have a Tesla / EV. Does that change anything?

Yes, it strengthens the case for solar considerably. Johnson County has one of the highest EV adoption rates in the KC metro. An average EV owner adds roughly 3,000-4,000 kWh of annual home electricity consumption for charging, which is exactly the kind of load that solar offsets beautifully during daylight hours. If you charge overnight, Kansas net metering still credits you for daytime solar export. We size systems specifically for EV owners, and we factor EV charging into your 25-year production model. If you're planning to buy an EV in the next few years, we'll size with that in mind too.

Are you actually licensed to work in Kansas?

Yes. Solar Assure is licensed in both Missouri and Kansas. We're headquartered in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri, about 3.5 hours east of Overland Park, and we've installed systems across both states for years. For Overland Park specifically, we schedule installs in batches so crews make efficient trips west. The install itself is a one-day job by a Missouri crew. For service calls and warranty work, we have partner technicians local to the KC metro. Same Josh-or-Tori-answers-the-phone experience regardless of which side of the state line you're on.

What does solar cost in Overland Park, KS?

A typical Overland Park home needs a 9-12 kW solar system, with pre-incentive costs ranging from $22,000-$32,000 depending on panel count, battery inclusion, and roof complexity. OP homes tend to be larger and use more energy than KCK or KC MO homes, which means bigger systems and higher absolute costs. But the homes are also newer (median build 1989), so panel upgrades are rarely needed. That's often a $2,000-$3,500 line item skipped entirely vs. a typical older home. With $0 down financing, most OP homeowners see monthly payments below their current Evergy bill from month one. A Franklin aPower 2 battery for backup adds $8,000-$12,000.

What about the federal tax credit I see other companies advertising?

The 30% federal residential solar tax credit expired December 31, 2025 for cash and loan purchases under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), signed July 2025. Companies still advertising "30% federal tax credit" for new 2026 residential solar purchases are either promoting third-party-owned leases or PPAs (a separate provision that still qualifies through 2027) or being misleading.

Why Solar Assure over a big national solar company?

Solar Assure is family-run and based in Missouri, not a national brand with a KC P.O. box. When you call, Josh or Tori answers directly. Our installers are Missouri crews we know by name, not anonymous subcontractors. Every quote, design, and install is handled personally by the founders. For an Overland Park homeowner, that means real accountability when something needs attention, honest math instead of aggressive sales pitches, and no high-pressure tactics. $0-down financing isn't a teaser rate. It's the actual offer.
