Wyoming solar estimate

Solar Panel Cost in Wyoming (2026)

Installed solar in Wyoming runs about $2.65 per watt — roughly 3% above the national average of $2.58/W. With the federal residential tax credit (25D) gone as of 2026, payback here rests on a $0.14/kWh power price and 4.9 daily peak sun hours.

Worked example: a typical $150/month home in Wyoming

A $150/month electric bill in Wyoming works out to about 12,766 kWh a year. Sizing a cash-purchase system to cover 100% of that:
