Why Go Solar in 2026?
In 2026, the question isn’t whether electricity costs will continue to rise. It’s how fast and how unpredictably.
Across the U.S., utilities are increasing rates to cover aging infrastructure, grid hardening, fuel volatility, and growing demand from electrification and data centers. For homeowners, that means higher bills, less control, and greater exposure to outages and price spikes.
Solar flips that equation.
Lock In Energy Costs as Utility Rates Rise
When you install residential solar, you’re effectively hedging against future rate increases. Instead of renting power from the utility at ever-changing prices, you produce a significant portion of your electricity at a known, predictable cost for decades.
With the right system design, solar turns your roof into a long-term energy asset that protects you from:
-
Annual utility rate hikes
-
Time-of-use penalties and demand charges
-
Unpredictable fuel and supply cost pass-throughs
Stability in an Unstable Grid
The grid in 2026 is more stressed than ever. Severe weather events, rising peak demand, and deferred infrastructure upgrades all increase the risk of outages.
Pairing solar with battery storage gives your home a layer of energy resilience the grid simply can’t guarantee. When the utility goes down, your home can continue powering essential systems or even operate independently for extended periods.
More Control, Less Dependence
Solar isn’t just about savings. It’s about control. Control over how your energy is generated, stored, and used. Control over your exposure to rate volatility. Control over what stays powered when the grid fails.
In a world of rising utility costs and declining grid reliability, residential solar in 2026 isn’t a luxury. It’s a smart, forward-looking investment in stability.
Benefits of Solar
Save Money
Go Green
Increase Property Value
In our experience, our past customers who have sold their homes after installing solar were able to ask for a higher price. For instance, a realtor selling an Overland Park home suggested a selling price based on comps in the neighborhood. Knowing the value of the solar array, the homeowner decided to increase the price of the home. As a result, the home sold for $20,000 more than the real-estate agent proposed. Essentially, the homeowner got all of his investment back from the solar array plus the money NOT spent on rising utility costs over the years.
We use Quality Materials
More power means more savings. Maxeon’s unique technology is built-to-last when conventional solar panels lose power with age. Maxeon solar panels produce more energy than standard solar panels and offer the industry’s longest warranty, with comprehensive coverage for a full 40 years.
Our customers can count on a lifetime of satisfaction and savings. Together, we build a better tomorrow through reliable, sustainable energy.
From day one, Maxeon solar panels capture more sunlight and produce more energy than standard panels. That translates to real savings across the life of every system.
We also utilize other best-in-class materials with exceptional warranties for our solar installations including brands like Tesla, REC, and Enphase.

By installing a Good Energy Solutions solar + storage system, you gain real control over your energy future. Every system is custom-built to match your needs today and adapt as they change tomorrow.
Integrated battery systems from companies like Enphase, Franklin and Tesla, store energy, so when the grid goes down your power stays on. The system detects outages and automatically turns on to keep your most important appliances and electronics running.
A battery backup system reduces your reliance on the grid. When paired with solar panels, the battery can recharge during the day.
Some utilities charge more during peak demand hours. A battery lets you store cheap solar or off-peak grid power and use it when rates spike.
Good Energy Solutions is one of the only Premier Certified Installers in the area for the Tesla Powerwall, Wall Connector and Powershare systems.
How Solar and Net Metering Saves You Money
In Kansas and Missouri, rising electricity costs are a constant concern for homeowners and businesses alike. Even modest increases in utility rates can erode household budgets and business operating margins over time. While utility companies like Evergy have worked to manage these increases, the long-term economics still favor electrification strategies that reduce dependence on central generation, especially solar combined with net metering.

Residential Solar – Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of installing residential solar?
Residential solar lowers electricity costs, increases energy independence, and lets you use clean energy from your own roof to power your home.
How much can I save with solar panels?
Savings depend on your energy use, system size, and utility rates. Most homeowners see significantly lower monthly electric bills and long-term protection against rising energy costs.
How long does a solar installation take?
Installation timing varies by project size, permitting, and utility interconnection, but most residential systems are installed in one to a few days once all approvals are in place.
Will solar panels work in cloudy or cold weather?
Yes. Solar panels still generate power in cloudy or cold conditions, though production may be lower than in direct sunlight; overall output depends on panel quality, orientation, and shading.
Do I need a new roof before installing solar?
If your roof is near the end of its life, it’s often recommended to replace it before solar installation to avoid removing and reinstalling panels later. Good Energy Solutions can help assess roof condition.
Can I monitor my solar system’s performance?
Yes. Most systems include monitoring tools that let you see production data in real time on your phone or computer to track how much energy your panels are generating.
How long do solar panels last?
High-quality solar panels are designed to last 25 years or more, with many carrying performance warranties that guarantee a high level of energy output over time.
