Net metering and solar export
Matters if you pair rooftop solar with home charging.
- Status
- net billing
- Summary
- Kansas nets Evergy residential usage and exports each billing period under the Net Metering and Easy Connection Act (K.S.A. 66-1263 et seq., amended by HB 2527 in 2024). For systems interconnected on or after July 1, 2014, net excess generation left at the end of a billing period is credited at no less than 100% of the utility's monthly system-average cost of energy per kWh, which is below the retail rate (K.S.A. 66-1266). For systems interconnected before July 1, 2014, excess carries forward month to month at one-to-one and any credit remaining on March 31 of each year expires, until January 1, 2030, when the system-average-cost credit applies to all customer-generators. Utilities outside Evergy may offer a parallel-generation tariff in lieu of net metering. Confirm system-size and capacity-cap rules with your utility before sizing a solar-plus-EV system.
