Solar power in Montana
Solar power in Montana on rooftops could provide 28% of all electricity used in Montana from 3,200 MW of solar panels.[1]
Net metering is available to all consumers for up to at least 10 kW generation. Excess generation is rolled over each month but is lost once each year.[2]
