Currently, Nebraska ranks 47th out of the 50 states in terms of the number of solar power facilities with 29 MWs. With over 200 days of sunshine each year, the state has plenty of potential to become a solar power powerhouse. This could be achieved through strong policies and incentives.

Solar panels in Nebraska are reliable and cost-efficient energy generators for your home, business, RV or a boat. They work as long as there is daylight, aren’t afraid of winds, hail, snow or rain, and last for over 25 years.
The average size of a home PV installation in the US is 5-6 kW. A system of this capacity covers 80-100% energy needs of a medium house. Its cost may vary from $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the panels’ brand and incentives available. Since a solar system powers your appliances during the day, your energy bills reduce greatly. Overall, a PV installation brings in around $100 each month on average and thus pays for itself in 6-7 years.
Solar energy is a great solution for boondockers and sailors as well. Since panels work everywhere, don’t need fuel, don’t smell and are silent, they start to replace gas generators, which traditionally were used to charge house batteries. Sometimes even one panel is enough for everything you have on your boat or RV. Generally, panels go on a trailer roof, and when it comes to marine installation, modules are fixed on a stern rail, deck or canvas.
Solar inverters for sale in Nebraska
Inverter is another necessary component of a solar panel system. The panels by nature produce direct current which can’t be used by most house appliances. That’s why an inverter converts DC to AC and sends it either into the grid or to your appliances.
Another functions that inverter perform include:
- Interaction with the grid;
- Arc fault prevention and protection;
- Optimization of the solar array production;
- System monitoring.
Inverters can be grid-tied, off-grid or hybrid. While the names of the first two are self-explanatory, a hybrid inverter can be used both as a grid-tie or an off-grid one. In other words, you can pair it with a battery, and if a blackout happens, the inverter switches your house to battery support instead of shutting down.
Inverter is the most complicated part of a solar installation and it requires proper maintenance. For Nebraska residents, it is recommended to put an inverter in a cold dry place out of direct sunlight — the garage is the best option. To prolong its lifespan, wipe the dust off of it, clean air intake filters and check the screen for errors.

Net Metering for Solar in Nebraska
One of the most effective ways to get the most out of solar panels is through net metering. This system allows you to sell excess energy that you generate to your utility company. You’ll get credit for the energy that you produce, and this will lower your monthly bill.
Solar Federal Tax Credit
The federal government’s Solar Investment Tax Credit is available to Nebraska homeowners and businesses. It provides a tax credit of 26% for the entire cost of a solar system. In 2022, the credit will remain at 26%. In 2023, it will decrease to 22%.
Now is the time to get the most out of solar panels by reducing your electric bill and increasing your home value.
