Net metering and solar export
Matters if you pair rooftop solar with home charging.
- Status
- net billing
- Summary
- Missouri's Net Metering and Easy Connection Act (RSMo 386.890) provides netting within a billing period at the retail rate for residential systems up to 100 kW. Net excess generation at the end of the billing period is credited at the utility's avoided-cost rate, well below retail, and unused credits expire on the annual true-up. Ameren Missouri and Evergy Missouri each administer this through their respective net metering riders under MO PSC oversight.
