What are the pros and cons of installing solar panels in Arkansas?

The advantages of installing solar panels in Arkansas are that there are both state-based incentives and the federal tax credit to help reduce system costs. In addition, much like everything else in Arkansas, power is expensive! High electric rates means you have the potential to save more money, making the overall return on investment for residential solar panels in the state much higher than other states in the nation.

The disadvantage of installing solar panels in Arkansas is that there is less overall solar irradiation. This means a system in Arkansas will produce less power than a system in sunnier states, like Arizona. However, the state and local incentives more than make up for this. Arkansas homeowners should not pass up the opportunity to install solar while these amazing incentives are still in place.
