Montana Solar REAP Grant

Solar Incentives in Montana

Montana offers a net metering program offered by all MT utility companies for commercial businesses. Businesses can receive a rebate back on their utility bills for any excess electricity that their solar system generates. 

Montana's Renewable Energy Systems Exemption exempts commercial businesses with solar systems from property taxes for the assessed added value of the system. The exemption is available for the following 10 years after installation and allowed for up to $100,000 in value for non-residential structures. 

The Alternative Energy Revolving Loan Program (AERLP) offers loans to small businesses who want to generate their own electricity by installing a solar system. Businesses approved for the program can receive a maximum loan of $40,000 at a fixed rate of 3.5% with a loan term of up to 10 years without an early payment penalty. Learn more about Montana's Alternative Energy Revolving Loan Program.
