The Power to Take Control of Your Energy Future

There’s never been a better time to take control of your energy future. When you go solar, you gain more than just clean power—you gain peace of mind and protection from rising utility costs.

Through net metering, any excess energy your system produces is sent back to the grid, earning you bill credits that help offset your monthly costs. Over time, those savings add up, allowing you to lock in lower energy expenses and reduce dependence on unpredictable utility rate hikes.

Solar also provides long-term reliability and energy security. Whether you’re motivated by sustainability, savings, or self-sufficiency, going solar with Wolf River Electric means investing in your home, your business, your future, and the planet.

State Incentives*

Iowa offers several incentives for solar energy adoption, making it an attractive option for residents and businesses looking to go solar. Here are the key incentives available:

Iowa exempts qualifying solar energy equipment from the state’s 6% sales tax. This exemption helps reduce the upfront cost of purchasing solar panels and related equipment.

For the first five years after installing a solar energy system, the increased value from the solar installation is exempt from property tax assessments. This means you won’t pay higher property taxes due to the added value of your solar panels during this period.

Iowa offers net metering, which allows solar panel owners to earn credits on their utility bills for the excess energy their systems produce and send back to the grid. These credits can be used to offset future electricity usage costs.

Some utilities and municipalities in Iowa offer additional incentives or rebates for solar installations. These can vary by location and utility provider, so it’s beneficial to check with local utilities for any specific programs available in your area.

Financing Options

Financing options for solar energy in Iowa are diverse, allowing homeowners and businesses to choose the best fit for their financial situation.
